So. A globally disruptive, economically unsound, and whim-driven tariff policy turns out to be unconstitutional. Huh.

I love using "math" as a verb. (This probably bothers @joshpollard.bsky.social )

I'm old and boring, having left sugar cereals behind decades ago. But I'm in for these:

“The way that they’ve approached this is to ignore any of the costs that come out of this rule and just focus on the two items that are savings for consumers." (Per NRDC) 🤦‍♀️ Thank you @zhirji.bsky.social for the gift link!!!

Apple Podcasts now has video! No. That's always been there but they're updating the tech. HLS streaming (no need to know what that is) allows for audio/video switching, dynamic ads, etc. BUT this does nothing to onboard 90+% of podcasters cause it does nothing to solve the real barrier..hosting!$$$

This!! Also, the people selling you AI believe their own hype, and think that AI is a neutral solution to all the complicated ills that shitty humans perpetuate. But behind every AI is people. Either building the models with their own biases or acting on the alerts with their own biases.

New episode of the @home-assistant.io podcast is here! Rohan and I chat with Will Osborne-Kennedy about taming a period UK home and a Canary Islands getaway: DIY pool chemistry, a fridge "strawtenna", dashboards, AI heating and more. Watch: https://youtu.be/_pBJXLIbawU

100% this!

CBS wouldn’t allow Colbert to air this interview with a democratic candidate for the Texas senate seat. So it’s on YouTube. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

New test materials arrived! Stainless steel, plywood, and acrylic. First order from Makerstock, and it arrived FAST. #engraving #laserenvgraving

Same. And all politics aside, what king of person lacks the common human decency to even turn their head to acknowledge the victims of childhood rape? Sickening... #AccountabilityIsComing

For the life of me, I cannot understand why I need to manually link my @sxsw.com badge to my #sxsw ID every single year. Why can they not do this automatically as part of the registration process‽ Instead, they expect half a million people to handle this extra step themselves. #CX

New episode of the @home-assistant.io podcast! Rohan and I chat with Mike Schmick about hiding smart tech in a 1953 mid-century home so it looks analog but works like magic. Plus: Roborock tricks, Frame art-mode woes, HA OS on Mac mini. https://youtu.be/Oj1q141znjM

Just finished Starfleet Academy s01e04, “Vox in Excelso.” It’s easily the best episode of the series yet. It’s probably my favorite Star Trek episode in years. Bravo. #startrek

Today marks TWENTY YEARS that @macosken has been doing a daily podcast about Apple news (and news related to Apple news). 15ish minutes every day. Where do you get your Apple news? #podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mac-os-ken/id120867842

Bracing for Reddit to lose its ever-loving mind over pending 3D gun printing bills. This is clearly a complicated issue, but I'd suggest we should have conversations about it rather than just digging in and shunning non-open systems. Any new legislation would impact ALL manufacturers. #3dprinting

I love when I can solve a problem with my 3D printer. I noticed it was far too easy to dislodge the Home Depot wire shelves I installed in our storage room last weekend. So I designed and printed a custom locking clip. makerworld.com/en/models/22... #3dprinting

PSA: There's a scammer on Bambu Makerworld pretending to be a "verification" account, who messages users via model comments, claiming they received a complaint against them,. providing an offsite link where you are asked to confirm payment info, else you "wont get any more payments" THIS IS A SCAM

New @home-assistant.io podcast episode! Rohan and I chat with Artem as he shares energy-smart Home Assistant automations, no chaos, just clear patterns to save energy and stay comfy. Watch: https://youtu.be/krxBE-4MIFY

For me, it‘s Spirited Away. It’s the film that first brought Miyazaki to my attention, and the film score is brilliant.

It's time for the Annual Diamond Club New Years Eve dcStreamathon! 27 hours straight, ringing in the new year in every time zone. Donate to ExtraLife. https://www.twitch.tv/dcstreamathon

It's that time of year again! It's time for the Technology.FM annual fireside chat. #smarthome #podcast https://www.smarthome.fm/episodes/236-fireside-2025

@1password.bsky.social Just a reminder, as you continue to nag me in your old app to move to your new app. I will never EVER use your cloud or pay a subscription for software I only use locally. Never. I'll switch to another product first.

Glad to see that @marketplace.org has reworked the Make Me Smart format. The initial, post-Kai phase wasn't working for me. Once I finally catch up on my podcast backlog, I'll be resubscribing.

@microsoft.com should just fire the whole Azure DevOps UX team and start over. #UX #BUI

Final @home-assistant.io podcast episode for 2025! Rohan and I talk with Josh (Josh’s Smart Home) about a 300-device HA Green setup, SmartThings migration, rock-solid Zigbee, and Powerwall energy tricks. Watch now: https://youtu.be/DlVPBcOsaPg

Awaiting a new Aqara hub to tie my Matter-over-Thread devices into Home Assistant. Betting it won't arrive until the very end of the day. #smarthome #homeassistant

My overnight #3dprinting job stopped at some point in the early hours from a stuck spool. Bambu’s AMS is kind of magical when it works, but one cheap-ass, poorly-wound spool can bring it all down.

I’m looking for videos reviewing xTool’s new(er) inline fan, IF2 2.0. Can’t find any. Kind of reinforces that the YouTubers are only posting about the shit they get for free.

Marriott really has done its damned best to hide its customer service phone numbers on Marriott.com.

I'm again joined by @richardgunther.com to discuss YouTube TV and Disney's dispute, Google pulling out of Movies Anywhere, the PlayStation Portal's new features, and so much more! Check it all out on the latest episode of Entertainment 2.0! www.thedigitalmediazone.com/2025/11/06/e...

✅ Virginia ✅ New Jersey ✅ New York City ❓ California?

New OSes installed on all devices, so let’s just check… * Nope. Still can’t start a bulleted list in mail.app by typing an asterisk on a new line followed by a space. This is the most basic of typing shortcuts—practically universal in rich text editors—and Apple continues to ignore this gap […]

🗳️ Tomorrow is Election Day in many jurisdictions. If you haven't already voted, make a plan for voting—know where to report, block out the time on your calendar, and carry any identification your location requires. Every election matters. Every vote counts. Every position is important.

I tried the cutting tool attachment on my Bambu H2D this weekend, and I'm kind of blown away by its accuracy. Far better than the cutting tool on my xTool M1. Hoping to try the drawing attachment later this week. #3dprinting #2dprinting

🎵 Enjoying Florence + the Machine's new Everybody Scream album this morning. #nowplaying

I may or may not have just finished off the remains of some Pistachio Pistachio right out of the container.

This week, @joshpollard.bsky.social and I catch up on the latest in streaming goodness (bundles) and badness (price increases). Plus WHAT is Microsoft up to with Xbox? #podcast www.thedigitalmediazone.com/2025/10/29/e...

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

'mback! I missed y'all. 🙂 I tried to remain largely disconnected from news and the socials while away.

Apple: We have new design guidance for apps on all our updated platforms. Microsoft: Yeah, that's OK...we're going to keep doing our own thing... #ux #design #branding #icon

Did you catch last week’s episode of Entertainment 2.0? We catch up with friend-of-the-show Jon Biggs, who’s using Channels and still has a Windows Media Center box in his living room! What’s in YOUR entertainment center? www.thedigitalmediazone.com/2025/10/16/e...

Secured* a hotel reservation for @sxsw.com next spring. Can’t wait! *I hope. I haven’t received an email confirmation yet—only a receipt for SXSW’s transaction fee. Not a great experience this year. I hope this bullshit of conferences charging to use their housing portal doesn’t become commonplace.

Any @sxsw.com peeps out here? I've yet to hear anything about SXSW housing for 2026, and that usually all opens by August 1. Messages sent to [email protected] get a "wasn't this SXSW 2025 great?" auto-response. This is...happening...right?

Note to self: Don’t cover Seklema mat with parchment paper when storing. #laserengraving

Legrand has refreshed its Radiant smart switches with Matter. Does this mean they'll be abandoning yet another generation of devices (the second, with Netatmo inside)? #smarthome

This is really important for #iowa and for the Democratic Party. Also: points to The Hill for using “home in” properly. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5471284-drey-victory-breaks-gop-majority/

Really happy to learn today that the H2S is less desirable (to me, anyway) than the H2D. Especially since I recently added an H2D to my workshop! #3Dprinting

Wow…go Pritzker! youtu.be/Q04p3OJdhpU?...

Finally got to catch up with @joshpollard.bsky.social this week on Entertainment 2.0. That's nothing but good news! www.thedigitalmediazone.com/2025/08/14/e... #podcast
