The infamous 'You Wouldn't Steal a Car' anti-piracy font was actually pirated itself.

“I was aware of the campaign using my font, but not that they actually used the illegal clone,” the creator told us. “The irony is extremely funny indeed.” https://www.404media.co/the-infamous-you-wouldnt-steal-a-car-anti-piracy-font-was-pirated-but-by-who/

@markarayner Watch out for the VHS asteroid.

"The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside. 'I said absolutely not,' Jackson says. 'I asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.'…About 15 minutes after the interaction at his front door, Jackson’s Wifi was up and running again."

OMG that’s fantastic. (Turn your Mac mini into a duck)

I dig the new #Slate EV truck and I hope the project succeeds. The success of the Ford Maverick indicates that Slate can succeed, especially in the Trump Tariff era.

I bought my #Nest thermostat before #Google bought the company.

With Google ending support for it in October, my search is on for an #Apple #HomeKit compatible thermostat.

@paul if it was an M4 Ultra, I would have gotten one. But it’s not. So I’m sticking with the M1Ultra one more year.

I have the M4Max in a MacbookPro.

@winterknight1337 ok that makes way more sense now.

@winterknight1337 I’m sorry, what?

Ah...

@winterknight1337 oofff

I'm using Topaz Video A.I. to transcode video from 1080p to 4k.

the MacBook Pro M4 Max I'm using has a 140W power supply, which is connected. (Magsafe)

But this M4 Max is drinking more than 140W of power and is actually depleting the battery - while plugged into power.

Total used power for the last 3 hours is ~150W.

Fascinating.

Makes me wonder, if I had a stronger power supply, would that make any benefit for this task? I can't tell based on Apple's tech specs if this MBP would recognize anything greater than 140W.

It also kinda makes me want an M4 Max Mac Studio. But I vowed to hold off until next gen; i'm still mad at no M4 Ultra.

‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’: ILM’s Visual Effects Treasure Chest, From At Attin to Starport Borgo

⬇️ This is my shot.

At least you could clear off all the pet hair collected on the air intake.

It’s never not funny to me that when the dog toots a fart, she startles herself.

@Sumocat This reminded me that I should check my Shortcuts button for the remote. And yes, you can specify the remote for the button!

Doesn’t work on control center, but it’s something.

Gratitude towards whomever knows how to change the default Apple TV remote in iOS. You know, the remote you can add to Control Center.

I’m tired of accidentally selecting the kids’ Apple TV instead of the living room.

I’m still waiting for all the TV & Movies screen savers.
