I've been trying to get my guitars set up properly, learning more about set up in the process. My Ironbird has some fretbuzz on the 6th string when fretting the 7th fret, it seems the truss rod is slightly too tight - The cover of which has screws directly under the strings, what a pain in the arse!

Been working on a UI mod for #Carmageddon Max Damage to improve the garage. The carousel interface was just about okay with the stock cars, but once you add mods cars in it becomes combersome to find the car you want, so I'm changing it to be more like the mobile C1 port (or a fighting game!)

Organising some old stuff, I found this 30 year old sealed, unopened blister pack of Morglum Necksnapper, before they changed from lead to white metal. Any #Warhammer people know if it's worth anything to collectors? Not much point in it gathering dust in my cupboard.

WTF is this? I opened Edge view a PDF just because it's the default app associated with PDF files, and Edge threw up this windows notification wanting to pin yahoo to my taskbar. Totally unsolicited, I didn't ask for it and I never visit yahoo, let alone in Edge. Get this shit off my PC.

The internet today is a fun place. Everything is served up as JSON payloads which often have more data than is necessary. The #Honor #MagicV5 hasn't got an official UK release date or price yet, but it has a holding page on their store. The products JSON payload contains the price: £1699

Recently dived back into my #PanzerDragoon Saga asset loading code, ported it over from Unity to Godot and made things more robust. Mesh and texture loading works and exporting to blender compatible GLTF without blender obliterating non-manifold faces, and I've just got the CGZ font sheet loading.

Oppo are off their heads if they think telling customers thier GLOBALLY LAUNCHED cutting edge new foldable phone won't be released outside in UK/EU/Aus/Pretty much anywhere in the world and they should just buy a Reno will do anything other than make people not want to buy an Oppo device.

No no no, bugger off, I don't "got it", I don't want it, fuck right off! AI makes the web cluttered, inaccessible, full of misinformation and less safe because of how easy it is for scammers to immitate actual people and businesses using AI!

Testing out the new toy I got for my birthday. Obviously I had to try out the GOAT of RPGs #PanzerDragoonSaga on the #SteamDeck Legitimately the best way to play the game outside of running the original discs on original hardware on a CRT.

An embedded video on an article, displayed in a standard landscape aspect ratio. The video is actually intended for mobiles, so it's a vertical aspect ratio. Except it's a video of landscape 16:9 gameplay, so it's squished down and padded out. This is the state of the modern internet 😬

Is it just me who sees this wallpaper used in a lot of #oneplus #OxygenOS15 promo pieces and thinks it says FART behind someone in a really good farting position?

I wasn't expecting TikTok to be leading the way with "I didn't sign up, remove my email address from this account" functionality. The amount of hoops I normally have to jump through because of idiots entering my email address instead of there's is crazy. This is brilliant.

Anyone know of an #android keyboard which has a floating mode like GBoard but also ctrl/alt/shift/arrow keys? I often use Unexpected Keyboard but there's no floating mode so it's a pain in #godot which is landscape only. GBoard is missing ctrl/alt/arrow keys & a real shift key 🤔
