Been having a bit of a break from online content due to Covid and that long recover to get back to full 100% but I'm almost there.

I tried to help you HP Australia, I really did (and I'm in the market for a laptop).

Tried Bing Image creator with the prompt: "make an image of what data scrubbing looks like on a synology diskstation" Pretty accurate, I do just sit there looking at it while it data scrubs.

Installed extra 8GB RAM and two 400GB NVME SSDs into the Synology Diskstation 1823xs+ and then migrated drives. Didn't realise existing NVME was actually a part of the RAID and needed to also be migrated or removed!

Pulled out the 6 disks from my Synology DS1621xs+ and dropped them in the new DS1823xs+, power on and it detects, asks 2-3 questions, and off it goes setting things up!

Thanks DoorDash for fixing your error and giving me a code I can use zero (0) times.

The Synology box had another box I side it, no points for correct guesses now :)

Ah she said stores so I'm guessing both. Bit of a way to go for Australia Play Store but getting there.

There's always something cool about games referencing each other, but I didn't expect to see Balatro inside another game...

More new flavoured milks to try!

My Google Pixel 8 Pro has been running like crap the last month - lots of freezing, delays then flooding of notifications, unlocking to a blank screen... Hoping this Android 15 update brings back the performance I used to see on this device.

Note that I tested this myself before posting too

Bought this Garmin Forerunner 255 watch for my wife, I believe battery life is a few weeks

Did you know that a Cloud Lady can evolve to a Typhoon Princess?

Only found out yesterday that Patch My PC - Home Updater exists. It's free and worth using: patchmypc.com/home-updater I have a few applications out of date!

Ooh I like having Bluesky linked to my own domain

I might have the answer, thanks to Bing Images!

My wife sent me this email and I wish it was the start of a funny thing like this: 27bslash6.com/overdue.html

Was creating an App Password to try Skyfeed and it suggested Azure as the unique name :\

This confused me for a moment - comparing Microsoft 365 features in one license I have shows icons, where another license the icons are missing. Submitted feedback in the hope someone reads it.

For those who aren't aware that even the platypus can do some serious damage...

Yep I bought an ice cream maker, it has 'creamify technology'. First run...

Alright, looks like I've got a Chromebook to play with! #LenovoIN

The Apple store in Hawaii was smaller than expected.

Does a good premade Iced Coffee in the USA exist? Because this ain't it.

How is Amazon making money by sending me a couriered box of individual bottles of water?

Finally got my hands on a @lenovo.bsky.social ThinkPhone - only had a play for a few minutes but the phone feels snappier than my Pixel 7 Pro to interact with, and it's rather thin and light. Anyone got one, what do you think of it? #LenovoIN

Adam Fowler @adamfowlerit.com · 16/12/2023

The latest update for Android let's you use your phone as a PC Webcam! Requires tethering via USB but still a nice addition.

Just had the Lenovo ThinkVision M15 Mobile Monitor I bought turn up, does this count for #ThinkPadThursday? #LenovoIN
