Amos @amos.io · 02/12/2025Sony Walkman, how dare you not last 3 decades! Thankfully there’s always some weirdly-named Chinese company on Amazon that sells the part you’re looking for to fix stuff. 000
Amos @amos.io · 10/11/2024If you see this, I invite you to post an image from your device with no explanation. 000
Amos @amos.io · 22/10/2024Fucking seriously Facebook? Nine posts in a row of recommended and other crap I don't want to see? I'm thankful I have the Social Fixer plug-in, as it condenses "recommended" and advertising posts into sing lines which I can view if I want. 000
Amos @amos.io · 26/09/2024Listening to music with a kit comprised of a beautiful headphone amplifier from a small company in Korea, combined with hand-built, 3D printed headphones & cable, both from small US companies. There's a whole, fascinating world of design in this hobby. 010
Amos @amos.io · 12/03/2024I want to get into flight SIMs just so that I have a reason to make or buy button panels and press buttons all the time: www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/com... 010
Amos @amos.io · 28/02/2024I .... have no words! Can you imagine running a server, or servers, with physical push buttons!?!? It would be awesome beyond words. Original here: twitter.com/thedouglane/... 26313
Amos @amos.io · 28/02/2024I use them as a challenge while doing my business to see how many I can fit into a single roll. 17 is my best so far. 240
Amos @amos.io · 01/01/2024Photo from one of the local newspapers of a small apartment block that toppled over in the quake. Note that the building is very heavily reinforced concrete, as are most structures like it in Japan. 1160
Amos @amos.io · 27/12/2023The correct thing to do in a social setting in Japan when given a mandarin to eat is to only leave one piece of peel. I am clearly a failure. 000
Amos @amos.io · 29/11/2023Found one of the two, huge Jewel Spiders that had built webs above my room, dead on the balcony. It looks like a full-blown murder scene. 000
Amos @amos.io · 26/11/2023This old Porsche 356 was in front of me today. Never seen one this old before. 000
Amos @amos.io · 26/11/2023Not what I wanted to see leaving the house today. Yes, that’s a Japanese Giant Hornet. 000
Amos @amos.io · 12/11/2023Toobs! I left my audio system on all day and music just sounds glorious. 000
Amos @amos.io · 10/11/2023How about the afternoon pic of autumn leaves I took for my phone wallpaper? I also have a couple of pictures of fungi. 010
Amos @amos.io · 22/10/2023Took me a moment to figure out what is going on here. It's a three wheel bike and the rider is disabled. His wheelchair is strapped in on the left. Even though manufacturers here have dedicated wheelchair car models, I'll bet that this is way more fun. 000
Amos @amos.io · 16/10/2023My oldest working Mac, a 2010 Mini Server, is now dead. It has the random hard shut-off problem. The monitor is messed up as well, and I'm not paying over $200 for new internals. 000
Amos @amos.io · 15/10/2023I've been converting all my "audiophile" micro-USB cables to USB-C. How handy it is that various random Chinese sellers make easy-to-solder plugs with the correct pinout. 000
Amos @amos.io · 15/10/2023Reminds me that I had to resist getting this from the second-hand shop. It is listed in the "Junk" section of the store, ie: they wont guarantee it works at all. 000
Amos @amos.io · 05/10/2023These two were only in Fukuoka last week, at my dojo, for the first time since the coronapocalypse. Very sad news. 000
Amos @amos.io · 05/10/2023Because reaching the top one was impossible while seated, I present to you: Toilet Role Jenga. 010
