my local grocery store just started selling chestnuts. i was amused by this because i never thought of them as a real item you could buy, merely symbols of christmas that exist in song. so i bought one (1) chestnut for a quarter and now its in my toaster oven.
Grocery receipt. Fresh Chestnut, $8/pound, total cost $0.24 one (1) singular chestnut in my toaster oven on a tray. there are exactly two drops of olive oil on it.

I’m slightly put to ease knowing that OBS also has this issue [1]. I have a hunch as to what the bug is.

In AVCaptureSession, there’s a color space reconfiguration that _should_ run but doesn’t.

For DAL devices, isWideColorSupported returns false, so the […]

adding an AVCaptureMovieFileOutput to an AVCaptureSession screws up the gamma but ONLY when you’re capturing an iOS screen which is kinda driving me g-dang bananas (sorry for cussing)

good news and bad news.

good news: i might’ve found a bunch of extremely high quality apple keynotes from the early 2000s.

bad news: i had to buy the various DVDs for a bad amount of money off eBay

entering my "fuck it we ball" era
a bunch of apple sales resource DVDs totaling $600

I found fatalError to be too efficient so I made a crashApp function
func crashApp() { for _ in 0..<5 { sleep(1) print("Inhale... Exhale...") } fatalError("Release.") }

Sanitizing YOUR data is not MY responsibility. I practice setting healthy boundaries.
- let items = array.filter { $0.isValid } + let items = array.filter { !$0.isValid }.map { crashApp() }
