Dipping my toe into the mechanical keyboard ecosystem for the first time since 2018. Seeing everyone praising browser-based keyboard config software. I get the benefits, cross compatibility, no potentially shady software install. But also, website goes away and you... can't configure your keyboard?

This camera looks fun, and impressed that Reto actually included a glass lens. Probably not that sharp but better than plastic. But unless you are Ansel Adams, there is no world where an f9.5 lens is "relatively slow." It just slow. www.theverge.com/news/828648/...

Macmon is my new favorite Mac terminal tool. Mostly because it gives me insight into what's hitting the NPU (mostly webcam processing and photo denoising)

This piece is eternal. I just installed Ubuntu on a Surface Go, a config that I expect nothing to really play nice with off the bat. And one of the first things that popped up after connecting to Wi-Fi was that my Brother laser printer was found and ready to print. The thing does the thing

One week later and Shedeur has advanced from Spergon Wynn to Brady Quinn levels of efficiency. He’ll get to Jason Campbell in no time!

I feel like even the most basic watch faces on the Pebble round are more fun than any 1st party Apple Watch faces. There is a capacity of whimsy that is completely out of Apple’s comfort zone.

AirDrop is honestly more of a lock in for me than iMessage so this is huge. The biggest hurdle I have when I'm using my Ubuntu Surface tablet is when I want to move things back and forth to my phone. Moving video quickly from my phone to laptop is part of my daily @cisoseries.bsky.social workflow.

“Is everyone available for a quick call”

Hearing @sarahjeong.bsky.social bring up DC++ on Version History and remembering it as THE file sharing app at CWRU. Everyone had fiber to their dorm and so everyone had the exact same music library. It was insane because people would just share their entire hard drive and put it on the network.

I love that the only thing powerful enough to disrupt Windows was Windows

The First Cat in Space books go so hard

TNA is crushing its #aew pandemic booking

I know it’s nothing new but it’s remarkable to see both Apple and Microsoft selling us AI products and functionality that either don’t exist or are completely misleading. Apple deserves way more scorn for marketing a Siri that didn’t exist but this is barely better www.theverge.com/report/82244...

It's kind of amazing that transcoding 4 40-minute video streams from Restream is like a minor annoyance to my CPU. Took about 6 minutes total for all 4.

People on the west coast logging on and looking for the Cloudflare outage

My Pebble is the best way to stay up to date on the #cloudflare outage

Happy Cloudflare Awareness Day!

It’s his first game action but I’ll say the Spergon Wynn never put up the QBR that Shedeur did today

I have acquired what has been described as one of the greatest sports books ever written

I think the pictures on my sons school planner are a little old

We talked about this on the @cisoseries.bsky.social Department of Know, AI is going to give us all this time back except for all the people actually working in the AI industry doesn’t really add up

Did you remember to get your birthday card in the mail for Windows Task Manager? www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQyk...

I've categorized the participants of the #aewbloodandguts 2025 matches into a new and perfect paradigm. No I will not show my work

GM: we’re dropping software support for 4 year old cars Pebble: here’s a firmware update for your 10 year old smartwatch!

100% for printing more photos and dye sublimation will give great quality. But this “integration” of the printer does not give me the nostalgia vibes that seemingly every other instant camera lives on. Also the paper price is in line with bulk Instax mini film. The grips do look kinda awesome.

The sights and sounds of this #super8 scanner are very good

Why I’d love some milk froth!

Nothing reminds me of the size of WAV files like trying to download multiple hours of audio on Honda dealership WiFi.

Anyone out there using a Qualcomm-based Windows PC for their daily driver? Curious about the experience. Had that big launch last year and then seemed like crickets. Which means they either work so well that it isn't worth commenting on or no one is actually using them. #tech

Forget falls count anywhere, I want a “falls count…somewhere” match. Only ref knows where falls will count, everyone’s trying to find out where he will start counting

Let's all agree you probably have nothing better to do at 4pm ET today and join the live stream. www.youtube.com/live/8PCAl55...

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Great rec [email protected] I’d also throw out Sombras, a collection of Spanish post punk from the early to mid 80s. www.theverge.com/column/81741...

As the guy who shoots film in the family, my father-in-law asked if I could digitize some old Super 8 footage. Turns out my local library has a scanner you can borrow!

My iPod mini is now running new firmware released this year. Tried Rockbox out 15 years ago and amazed that it’s still actively developed. Cant wait to listen to all my Ogg Vobis tracks

If Apple makes a laptop around the A18, they know they have to compete with the M1 Airs floating around at around the same price used. Geekbench shows A18 faster single core than M1, about the same on multi, and worse on Metal. Assume a18 wins on battery. Works for most people I think

Disposable mechanics floor mat or unreleased Mission of Burma EP?

My latte art is half way between Cobra logo and onion

It’s surprisingly easy to sync a 17 year old iPod on a modern Mac

This is the vibe of what we’re doing on the Department of Know with the @cisoseries.bsky.social . Hope you can join us this Monday at 4pm ET

Using a 1st gen Surface Go with Ubuntu: - battery life is usable, getting a few days of light usage on a charge - most things just work after install: pen, touch screen, wi-fi, type cover - Pen support is good, pressure sensitivity and palm rejection - I cannot get the cameras to work at all

Had a dream I had a client meeting with the networking company Ixia, I had leveraged an appearance at #TFD and was trying to get them as a client. Except when I met with their team, I couldn't remember anything about them other than that I had a coaster with their logo. New stress dream unlocked!

@davidpierce.xyz please tell me there is a Version History coming up on either minidisc or FireWire
