@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

Always take the opportunity to hear Stacey speak. Always. #usenix

A question to whatever company manufactures CyberPower UPSes: What year do you think this is?

Tiny Vinyl launched last week, and I'm all like "$15-20 for a SINGLE?"

It's always a delight to talk with @jp2e.bsky.social, and it was extra special joining her on this latest episode of The Vergecast to answer questions about my favorite topic: Smart Lighting! www.theverge.com/podcast/7576...

I picked up a thing this weekend. I'm gonna need a bigger workbench. #3dprinting

On our first in a series of outdoor-themed episodes, Adam and I survey the landscape [see what I did there?] of yard work robots and devices. Brandon Doyle joins us, freshly recovered from reviewing EIGHT different robot mowers! www.smarthome.fm/episodes/235...

We lost a few legends in the past few weeks. Today we just learned that we lost Jim Lovell yesterday, commander of Apollo 13. This loss really hurts. Literal tears on my face. 😢 #space #rip

I think Microsoft's/Open AI's new 3D modeling feature doesn't yet fully understand 3D. #3Dprinting #ai

Does anyone else love the SNW sick bay uniforms more than any other? They’re so frakkin cool!

@usnatarchives.bsky.social How's that Constitution "bug" coming along?

Oooooh, Apple does not like to be upstaged....

#AVRant Podcast #979 - OLED Burn-in Reavon has gone out of business and discontinued their Ultra HD Blu-ray players. Epson Pro Cinema LS9000 replaces 6050UB. Here's our YouTube version with timestamps: youtu.be/COQztbrjSX4 Enjoy!

I see the SXSW panel picker is out. Anyone propose a session that needs some love?

Not gonna lie...my mouse can get pretty grody.

Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia.

Really fed up with hotels and resorts no longer offering feather pillows. Marriott, for example, allows dogs at some of the same properties that now refuse to offer feather pillows. Go figure. I had feather allergies as a kid. And I survived. By not sleeping on feather pillows.

Introduce yourself with jobs you've done other than what you do now: • Lawn-mower • Retail clerk • Dishwasher • Programmer • Project Manager

I love this hall closet makeover video fellow (and far more handy) creator Vinny posted at DIY with Vinny. Also: HIDDEN ROBOT VACUUM DOOR! #smarthome https://youtu.be/Y469Zrnoxnc?si=FQlFwVOzFD5ZxDWG

Every time I visit the trash pit that is Atomm.com aka xTool community aka xTool Projects aka DesignFind, I spend more time reporting stolen or unoriginal work than actually finding anything useful and inspiring. #laserengraving #maker

Dear Smithsonian: Thanks for being complicit in this administration's quest to rewrite history to its liking. 🖕 www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

BREAKING NEWS: Someone you probably hadn’t even considered doing a particular thing isn’t in fact going to do said thing. We now return you to the regular nonsense.
