I scrolled right past the link to your blog post, didn’t click, as I am assured it’s waiting in my feed reader when I can look at it with full attention. For those who are stuck, weaned to the matrix of an algorithmic stream, RSS feeds are the keys to your own garden.

Of Course I’m Buying the New Apple TV, but Yes, I’m disappointed in the price hike (again) - $149 to $249 to $299. I imagine that the price would have gone up regardless, but the memory-pocalypse is one driver of this. The new features will make this go down easier - Siri Ai stuff, WiFi 7 […]

Apple TV 4th Gen? Ready to buy my 5th Apple TV. I’ve bought the latest generation each time it was released since 2015. I just hope they don’t raise the price beyond $250 (current price for 128GB/Ethernet version). social.andyrush.net/apple-tv-4th-gen

What’s it going to take to stop the media both-sidesing? I would have thought over taxpayer-paid Trumpian propaganda. But WRONG. So I imagined how these guys would cover Trump actually shooting someone on Fifth Avenue. The first 3: presswatchers.org/2026/09/the-...
The New York Times, under the headline: “A Shooting on Fifth Avenue, This One By the President,” reports four paragraphs down: “Some ethics experts have argued that the shooting could violate laws against assault with a deadly weapon.”
The Washington Post reports: “Democratic members of Congress and former prosecutors say it was done by a person using a gun against someone else, and therefore a potential violation of state law.”
The Wall Street Journal, calling the shooting “unusual” in a subhead, reports: “On Saturday night, a local CBS News reporter in New York City noticed something unusual on Fifth Avenue: Donald Trump shooting someone.” Then, a few paragraphs down: “the shooting could violate state law, ethics experts said.”

RE: mastodon.social/@andyrush/117326120… I must be careful NOT to call the Rodecaster Video a “4K video switcher”. It has a 4K video capture mode that can record and route multiple 4K inputs, but you can't do overlays, scenes, or media playback during production.
