There was an interesting podcast episode about this from the folks at @everythingelectric.bsky.social last year. Worth a listen overcast.fm/+AAQQ4qhOg_g

It’s been a very long time time since I’ve had to use these 😆
Congrats! 🥳
Slightly worn box of the Sony PlayStation Memory Card Adaptor
Found another little gem. The memory card adaptor to get your PS1 & PS2 saves onto your PS3 😆
It’s a shame the battery appears to have swollen. Off to the recycling centre it goes I think 😢
The back of the iPod with its scratched reflecting back. Showing an Intel Inside - Celeron sticker above the Apple logo and a 300GB 10K Ultra320 SCSI sticker below the Apple logo.
I remember putting the 300GB SCSI sticker on it when I was in my first office job. I then had to get the iPod serviced and it came back with the Intel Inside sticker 😂
White circular touch wheel iPod in its dock with the FireWire cable showing.
Doing a bit of decluttering and found some old treasures in the boxes in the loft. My first iPod from 2004 with its FireWire dock 🔥
Screenshot of Apple's Accessibility Inspector app on top of Slack and Spotify, showing the Close / Minimise / Maximise window control buttons. The Accessibility Inspector app has the smallest buttons of the lot.
Ever notice how Xcode's Accessibility Inspector app has the smallest window control buttons vs any other app? I've got Slack and Spotify in the background here and their buttons are significantly larger.
Everyone talks about how the Mediterranean diet keeps people alive for longer. No one mentions that the old folks are jacked from lifting cast iron cookware several times a day, every day.
Poster for: Circa Wolf. Picture shows a woman standing on one foot on a man’s head with 7 other performers looking up at her. 5 star rating stickers were attached after the poster was printed.
Poster for Jessica Fostekew’s show called “Iconic breath”. The poster is predominantly red with Jessica and her breath being green - to imitate Godzilla.
Poster for Nina Conti’s show “whose face odd it anyway?” Poster shows a portrait image of Nina and one of her face masks that she attaches to participants
Poster for a theatre wrestling show called Mythos: Ragnarok. Image shows Freya holding up Loki on her shoulders about to thrown him down.
Spent the weekend in Edinburgh enjoying the excellent Fringe festival. It’s always disappointing to be leaving because there’s so many more shows that I’d like to go to, but there’s always next time 😁
Octopus Energy login screen with a toast at the top saying: “For security reasons we log you out every 6 months”
At what point does an energy provider think their “security” practices are better than those of financial institutions that can keep you logged for more than 6 months? Even HMRC does this better by only asking for a pin if a device has been restarted.
EasyJet passenger details screen with the passport document type field selected
I feel like it should be criminal to disable the paste functionality in apps that require a long string of important numbers to be entered.
Cute! 😊
That’s amazing, well done!
Finished reading @shaunalawless.bsky.social’s Gael Song trilogy + novellas. What a great start by a new author 📚
Now I’m eagerly awaiting for the next era in this series and wondering what I should read in the meantime 🤔
I think I had to eventually turn on the feature that would let me resume some of the harder sequences after checkpoints (like boss battles or something in the game that made you have a very rapid ascent). Without that the game was becoming a bit frustrating.
Sounds like you’ve enjoyed it overall?
I attended a health check yesterday and found out that I’m 3cm taller than I thought for the last 20 odd years 😂
That’s great news congrats Marc!
Now to shift this thing on eBay 😩
So I ended up trying this and turns out I don’t like it. The main reason for it is that the soundstage became just in front of me. Where as what I’ve had on my desk for years is a speaker at each end pointing towards me. Turns out that’s a much nicer set up for music.
Trying to figure out if the free soundbar (LG USC9S) that came with the tv is a worthwhile upgrade to the bookshelf speakers I’ve got on my work desk being powered by SMSL AD18 🤔
The addition of the sub is tempting…
It’s great when sites make sure that rarer use cases work well.
Today I used 13 distinct gift cards when placing an order on John Lewis 😂
People thought iMessage to Android was a bad transition. I just moved a sim back to iPhone and an RCS conversation that got started on my Pixel6a continued on Android 🙃 That’s not where the sim is.
Hope you both have a wonderful time 🌏
Ori games are beautiful and fun to play. Enjoy!
@manton.org just reading it now and loved the “I am discreet. I am a shadow hiding in another shadow on a very dark day.” 😂
Work harder so that you can work yourself and countless others out of a job. Faster damnit!
It’d say it’s a macOS bug that won’t get fixed until Webex adopts the latest APIs. Then the various teams at Apple will actually see how annoying it is and it’ll be fixed in a patch release 🤞
Ahh I see. I’ve also been waiting for quite some time for a new Locke Lamora story! Might just have to purchase those magazine issues myself too 😁
Thanks for the heads up!
I've been trying to mess around with the Dell Monitor SDK writing a little command line tool (🤢) to help change the input that's used on my monitor, only to find that the SDK doesn't support my monitor 😭
Not even the SDK from the desktop app works - which works OK with the monitor.
