Me, standing next to my iPhone on my desk: „Hey Siri, open GoPro Quik“ (the app I need to turn on my GoPro webcam)
Siri on a HomePod mini in the next room: „I didn’t find an app named „GoPro Quik on Living Room Apple TV.“

It’s 2025.

Every new school year in the US: Math homework is now only posted in the mailbox in Zork. The lunch menu is now posted on a Gopher installation with an expired SSL cert. You have to use Glxgears for getting all other homework this year. On third Tuesdays you now have to Bleem into PTSA meetings.

@jwz Weird! I’ve never heard that before. Their ad supported streaming stuff is definitely weird, I don’t use it, but I’ve enjoyed the library sharing with friends and such.

@jwz huh? Is there something dangerous about it?

@jwz this looks like an interesting live tv/mtv solution that might work for pizza if you ever want a new one: https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv

It’s time for us to put away our tree, one thing I didn’t learn until this year is that these little batteries go bad if they touch each other. So, a little clear tape works to prevent the connection.

the “bourbon chicken” at Panda Express is absolutely heinous. I’m not sure I can express how foul this is with words. It smells so bad, which should have been a warning I heeded. The taste is like a well-used ashtray that some bourbon spilled in. Then it’s slightly spicy but in that inconsistent way that makes it not fun.

Watching the Phillies with my kid is great. We get all the latest ads for beer, gambling, erectile dysfunction, and hair loss. Family Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not many people know this but in California you are forced to buy music gear and start making good bops. It’s the law there and they want to bring it everywhere. Sleepy Joe tried it, Kamala wants to make it happen, folks. You know Rocky & Bullwinkle really is good television. That moose was real dumb, folks. Not as dumb as Sleepy Joe, I bet the moose could have had a better performance in the debate. There’s not many out there who could have but they force you to buy synths and pocket operators.

My therapist: You need to stop fixating on “Ford Transit XXL”. It’s not real and it can’t hurt you.

Ford Transit XXL:

SDL3 GPU sounds sick as hell https://cohost.org/icculus/post/7506533-sdl3-gpu-api

FYI if you have this mug from valve it has lead in it and you should throw it away. I just tested it with my kit from detectlead.com

Had to throw away a bunch of other stuff, too.

TikTok has standards, they’re just not for respecting people who don’t have a permanent home.

@jamesthomson Happy Birthday!!!

@anildash I’m not sure why but for me your blog doesn’t load the css in Safari (17.2.1) on macOS (14.2.1), it’s fine on iPadOS, console says it’s 404ing. Turned off my adblocker for your domain. No idea what’s up with that. probably works for others if you aren’t getting complaints.

Check out my sweet CRT for #MiSTerFPGA 😜

Like 6 months or a year ago I received a weird stick of SD-RAM in the mail and put it down because I was busy with something else.

Yesterday I looked at my MiSTer FPGA and realized there’s only one stick installed.

I’ve searched about 9 bins of e-waste and have no idea where it is.

and for me this feature stops working during Twitch streams so I frequently look like I’m imagining lasers/fireworks/balloons/hearts that I’m trying to make appear by gesturing. https://xoxo.zone/@mathowie/111229500871588422
