I’ve been around a long time and I’ve bet on a lot of different technologies,
My track record for knowing what’s gonna work and what’s not gonna work is excellent.

But I absolutely would NOT have guessed that QR codes would have won the way they did.

@thomasfuchs oops. So many folks have misspelled it that it’s now autocorrecting wrong

Ok now I’ve modded my #SteamLink with the MoonLight open source project moonlight-stream.org and I’m playing #BaldersGate3 on the big screen streaming from my PC in the other room, controlled with my Xbox Controller. Computers are just LEGO at this point -it all snaps together

Today in unhinged emails from randos who think my podcast is AI

I’m not sure if it’s normal or I’m just overwhelmed but I’m really bad at remembering who was in meetings so then I’ll end up telling people about a cool meeting and then remember that they were there

Good: #ResidentEvil on iPhone 15 Pro Max
Bad: The phone gets so hot the background processes that allow the phone to talk to my blood sugar meter stop working LOL
Good: graphics
Good: not dead
Mid: Do I want my phone to be a game console?

Protect your kids this Halloween

tech journalism?

@thomasfuchs @aashishkoirala I’m nondenominational and support both

One of the tiny tragedies of being a Diet Coke connoisseur - and I mean at the soda sommelier level - is that people act like you’re insane when you tell them that the mix is off on their fountain drinks.

@aashishkoirala my concern is ZERO. I don’t drink, never half. I don’t smoke, don’t do drugs. I don’t gamble. I have ONE vice. Diet Coke. And you can pour it over my coffin as they lower me into the ground because it won’t be Diet Coke that kills me.

Do less to scale. If you do nothing, you can do it infinitely.

RIP Kris Nóva. I had her on the show and was blessed to spend time with her just a few months ago. She was a genius and made things better. https://youtu.be/nJSxRqJ2kgQ?si=3ei04Z3MmJan3XsC life is short. Focus on your friends and family and your health. Everything is fleeting.

Beware the Prosperity Gospel of Tech Twitter.

This whole system is algorithmically designed to make you feel bad about yourself and your progress. Measure only against your previous self.

Don’t worry about people’s cars or houses, focus on you, then send the ladder back down.

Avoid transactional networking. Trust people who want to help you and ask for nothing in return. The millionaire next door is not posting their rented supercar pics on social, they are quietly helping others.

Having an image or headshot on a website or PowerPoint that has the *wrong aspect ratio* is such a trigger for me. It makes the rest of the product hard to take seriously. Can’t y’all see that your head is not shaped like that? You’re all stretched out

My wife, a med-surg nurse (I don’t speak medical): we did a CBC, hA1C, and a D-Dimer but the hematocrit was still low

Me, a programmer (she doesn’t speak technical): it’s probably DNS

Crazy how some days I sit in my driveway in my car wondering how I even have a job at all, but then someone asks me a question on email that I actually know the answer to it and I realize that I will have a job this week. It’s been back-and-forth like that for 15 years

Wow this is messed up #BirdSite

@thomasfuchs the tech just isn’t there https://www.youtube.com/live/lJWwlXS_cTM?feature=share seek into about 60% in

It’s the year of e-ink! #remarkable vs #OnyxBooxTabUltra http://tiktok.com/t/ZTRv8UQvf/
