Okay ya, I am actually pretty happy with these cheap Bluetooth headphones. They're quirky, and while I've definitely heard better (me cries in audiophile), I am fully untethered and not cut off from my surroundings. I wouldn't mix a record on these, but I'd totally make dinner wearing them. 😋

Decided to try these cheap over the ear bluetooth headphones, in the off chance they were actually as good as the wired Koss headphones they "take inspiration" from. First impressions, the audio quality is clean for the price, but up close OMG THEY ARE SO FREAKING WEIRD!!! 🎧😵‍💫🔌🔌 #H1Pro #ChiFi

I'm still new, but I improvised a "low fat" vegetarian Almond Pad Thai for the wife and I. Almonds instead of Peanuts because they're a less-fatty. IMO it was decent, and while I'm still pondering how to make it better, my wife demolished the extra servings before I could finish writing. 😋 #Cooking

Two packages I'm eagerly awaiting: an XLR->USB cable with a builtin 96KHz DAC, and a new backup camera for my car. The cable should *finally* arrive today, but my voice is messed up by the sick 🙊. My previous backup camera died during a terribly cold day that encased my car in ice. 🧊

You know things are bad when you have nostalgia for Microsoft Office.

Seriously, like 99% of illnesses you've ever caught are 1-2 Kevin Bacon's away from a school. I wouldn't have spent the entire year of 2026 miserable and sick-a-f*** if schools had AIR FILTRATION as a basic necessity. This is obvious. Stop all this Autism finger pointing and clean the f***ing air. 🔥

I know I shouldn't be annoyed by this, but the ESP32 and Pi Pico projects with clunky UIs and flickering screens kinda bug me. 🤢 I'm also *not* nostalgic for Palm devices of yesteryear. My portable was the GameBoy, and GameBoy software was always as smooth as the LCD screen could achieve.

Well, this couldn't have been a better timed video. Benn explores many of the most useful "in case of catastrophy" technologies people should be aware of. Such fun toys as Meshtastic, satellites, SDRs, ESP32's, and cellular fun.

BAD DUDES!!!

This is a great technical writeup about the NASTY problem with many USB-C headphone/audio adapters: they operate in USB-FS mode (USB 1.0 12mbit) not USB-HS mode (USB 2.0 480mbit). Some (not all) USB host controllers can handle these USB-FS legacy devices, but they still greatly burden the system.

I'm loving @altonbrown.bsky.social's YouTube cooking show. It's like one of those addicting classic cooking shows you'd discover while channel surfing. Extremely well made, witty, technical but not complicated, and to the point. Bite sized (pun intended). ☺️

Ugh. 🤒 Whatever I got... cold, flu, whatever... I hate it so much! 😭 Breathing is uncomfortable; coughing; sweating unnecessarily; dryness; congestion returns after a bit... I can't sleep because I can't get comfortable. Uuugggghh! WORST XMAS GIFT EVER

I'm sort of annoyed that Google (YT Music) keeps recommending Miku/Vocaloid songs to me. Not because the music isn't good (some of it is quite catchy), but I'm convinced the songs would better if performed by a human instead of a nasally robot. 😋

I have that thing where I feel like I'm going to be incapacitated by a cold tomorrow (i.e. dry sore throat despite plenty of water). 😷 I have begun consuming cough candies.

Our plans for New Year's Eve are to watch the Stranger Things finale then sleep, very likely missing midnight.

I'm enjoying how unapologetic the hockey yaoi fans are. 🤣
