Not really a fan of how stuttery & slow iOS 26 is on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. But had to upgrade to use new Watch. Grrr. Very frustrating. #ios #ios26 #iphone

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...
Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo
Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux has become an internet sensation after an Associated Press photo captured him outside the Louvre on the day of a crown jewels heist.

Let's hack the page to make "FOR" editable. Font looks like Adobe Coffee Service; Google Fonts Sriracha is close enough.

1. Right-click "FOR", select "Inspect"
2. Right-click the nearby `<span id="for-span"` element and "Edit as HTML"
3. Replace HTML (see reply)
4. Cmd+enter or Ctrl+enter to save

The wait is finally over, we're happy to announce that the KeebDeck Keyboard and our first product using it, the KeebDeck Basic, are now available for sale from our @lectronz.com store! ⌨️

A photo of the KeebDeck Keyboard keypad and dome sheet. The dome sheet has many domes visible through the white plastic, and 8 black pieces of tape to cover where the backlight LEDs would be. The Keyboard has 69 keys with the usual PC layout, and a few extra ones color symbols and colors. A photo of a device composed of two PCBs sandwiched together with a silicone keypad in the middle and poking through the front PCB. The keypad has an ortho layout with most keys of a PC keyboard. It also has some extra colorful macro keys at the top. There is a Solder Party logo on the Meta key as well as in the middle of the top row. The silkscreen reads "KeebDeck Basic, arturo182, Solder Party". The two PCBs are held together by four Phillips-head screws.

Just upgraded to MacOS 26.1 on a computer w/ an external 1920x1200 monitor and it looks TERRIBLE. The fonts in the official apps (Messages, etc) look grody with no way to change apparently. The whole interface is like an sophomore attempt w/ the over-rounded edges. So gross & amateurish #macos

The shutdown will hit Altadena hard, cutting off not only SNAP but also SBA loans and FEMA programs that disaster victims have spent months applying for. I will donate 10% of the funds from this Kickstarter to the ACTS food pantry in my neighborhood.
