I used to write code for a living at Microsoft and Google in Seattle. Now I moved to France and just do it for fun!
Been playing around with some form of agentic AI to make a bash shell on steroid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY7y...

Wow, this Google AI Studio looks amazing. I just played with it, and it works as well as what's shown in the video. Game changer! www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cvc...

It's 2025 and Windows Update is still not offering me 24H2. Feeling left out!

I've always ignored Netflix Games before, but the newly released Monument Valley 3 is very nice!

For those of you who don't know, I run an environmental non-profit called TrashMob.eco in my spare time. Our goal is to help communities around the world organize litter clean ups.

We're hoping to hire full-time staff in 2025, but need your help to make this happen!

Successfully cleaned my scanner by following www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-S4.... It's ridiculously hard to access the glass. Even though it's a dirt cheap unit, I didn't want to replace it and create more e-waste. So that made my day :)

Windows Quick Assist is quite nice. I just unblocked my daughter who was stuck at school with a Google Drive issue. Very easy to set up.

I don't get why so many users are reluctant to upgrade to Windows 11. It works well and is not that different from 10...

I have an old all-in-one printer that I'm trying to use as a plain scanner.

But no, can't do that unless you first replace the ink cartridges! Because ink is apparently essential to the scanner! How is that even legal...

Found Netflix Sprint disappointing. Ultra focused on the featured athletes, and making it look like all the others are not even there.

I felt the same about Break Point (tennis). I'm done with those shows!

Doing math with my kid, I just learned a trick to know if a number divides by 7: double the last digit, subtract that from the other digits, and see if that divides by 7. e.g.

847 -> 84 - (2*7) = 70. So divisible by 7.

I'm probably the last one to learn this, but thought I'd share anyway 😀

Just found that I can change my Bluesky name to my domain name. So I'm now @davidebbo.com instead of @davidebbo.bsky.social. Yeah!

A US credit card refund on a France purchase ended up being less than the charged amount because the exchange rate had changed. Hopefully, next time it'll be reversed and I'll make some money!

I see all this coverage on Win 11 24H2, but it's yet to offer that to me. Have I been bad?

I like Bluesky so far, but is it a matter of time before they add ads and premium tiers? Nothing is free...

Alright, let's give this a try! I used chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sky-f... to find people I followed on Twitter and it worked somewhat well.
