The Venn diagram of people that spent most of the early 2000s complaining that if Steam ever went down that they’d lose their game collections and people that have gone all in on AI appliances is a circle.
Can you imagine the entire generation of "built on AI" hardware that's going to be completely bricked when these companies eventually start to disappear?

I spent today modifying toys so they can be used by children with disabilities at Santa’s Little Hackers. What a cool group that puts on this event! A huge room with people sewing, disassembling, soldering, and testing adapted toys. www.santaslittlehackers.com

If you could name one person who ABSOLUTELY exemplified the title of "True Macintosh enthusiast," who would you say?



Sure. Yes. Absolutely. All excellent choices!

Here's an interview with 65Scribe instead.

Keeper update!
▪️Noir mode!
▪️Ultrawide monitor support!
▪️New accessibility features!

You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)

Vaccines are modern (20th century) science’s best being the best. To ignore them is to embrace dark ages.

I have an iPhone that was dropped, and WIFI / LTE stopped working. The thought was to just make the phone a camera, but after I wiped the device, this is the error message that I cannot get past:

Still prototyping analog computing modules. Moving stuff from breadboard to prototyping boards ("ElectroCookies"). (Red & blue "cookie" seen here.)

An article from a 1970's hobbyist electronics magazine inspired the project. I've gone past that circuit now though. (Unsure where I'll land…)

Cannot stress how bad shit is about to get if you want to build any kind of PC.
Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead. It’s already getting hard to build an affordable PC, and the exit of the longstanding provider of consumer memory is going to make that even more challenging www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

"Major coup" is REALLY overselling it. Keep in mind, this is the guy who took time off pulling up off the green felt in iOS7 to develop Apple Watch.

Good luck on doing whatever it is Meta does, I guess?
