Tried firing up my old iPod Shuffle over the weekend. Turns out the battery inside had a similar idea. I’m way too nervous to detach the spicy pillow in fear of causing a fire just to save the logic board 😥 RIP to a real one

@openvibe I’m very happy for you guys, but unfortunately I don’t see the app mentioned here in Canada :(

My Retroid Pocket Classic arrived in the mail right before the holidays and I’ve been busy with it ever since! Here’s a side-by-side comparison with the original Game Boy Color in Atomic Purple.

Finished reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. I think my most useful takeaway from the book is scheduling leisure time for myself. I used to read, draw, and play more when I was younger, but time has a way of gifting us more responsibilities that require our attention.

Brought my TrimUI Brick with me expecting a queue while at the advanced polling station. Was kind of disappointed that there was only one other person in front of me, and this would only be a short 5-minute visit without any playtime 🙃

After sleeping on it since last Fall I finally mustered up the motivation to finish off Death’s End by Liu Cixin over the last couple of months. Faced with tragedy at every turn I really started to feel bad for Cheng Xin at the end, but one spoiler-free quote stuck with me that really underlined the entire tragic saga: “Humanity chose you, which meant they chose to treat life and everything else with love […]”.

The #Plex app redesign for iPhone and iPad is objectively worse in almost every way. It’s like they saw the Sonos app disaster rollout as a blueprint, not a warning.

@verge I watched The Weeknd’s Open Heart video during my Vision Pro demo and it was honestly pretty good. I’d try out another demo if it meant getting a snippet of this Metallica concert!

Thank you Microsoft for being the catalyst that finally helps me move my entire family group chat from Skype into the open arms of Signal. Thanks and good riddance!

Attempted to clean out my MX Keys keyboard tonight and managed to damage my spacebar. I’m not a complete novice when it comes to disassembly, but I’m shocked by how very delicate and fragile the clips are under these key caps.

@folduptoys my sympathies and condolences. We’re in new discussions about putting down our last cat, and it’s so difficult to pull the plug

@nocontexttrek Actors on slabs: “think non-sexy thoughts, think non-sexy thoughts”

TIL that Jim Davis wrote a Garfield comic strip in which Jon drinks a cup of dog semen to impress nurse Liz. Thanks, #heyriddleriddle

@verge so sad to hear about @omnivore RIP to a real one!

@macrumors “there is no option to tell the Mail app if you believe an email has been put into the wrong category.”

If I could tell the app to stop sending my mail directly into the trash that’d be great.

Egg nog in October?? Pour me a glass!

If I make a new pot of coffee with a bit left over from the previous day, is it still the same coffee? Am I brewing a ‘coffee pot of Theseus’?

@verge man just can’t catch a break these days

@globeandmail @life-globeandmail “Don’t stop taking pictures of your kids, but perhaps approach it more judiciously. Take fewer photos. Set them up with care. Treat your smartphone like a real camera, with limited film. Resist the urge to post online.”

Hard agree with resisting the urge to post online. Don’t leverage your kids for clout!

@appleinsider ignoring the fact that this is an Apple v Epic case for a moment, is the sheer volume of information meant to intimidate a defendant or is this actually going to be digested by a team of humans?
