Seriously Apple WTF is up with the “Device Hub” keyboard support? How did you screw this up so badly??

Watched the @nostalgianerd.com Quantum Bigfoot video yesterday. Reminded me of the time I unplugged the molex connector from one and managed to pull the entire power connector right off the board. The worst part was explaining it to my boss. Thankfully someone soldered it back on and all was good.

Ugh it is getting really hard to read @daringfireball.bsky.social these days. @gruber.foo is almost impossible to agree with. His takes on WFH, Meta, Threads, LLMs, the EU and Bluesky are so hard to stomach. I think, for the first time in 20 or so years, I’m just going to have to unsubscribe.

#RandomGameSaturday my, sadly still unplayed, copy of Shenmue. I’ll get around to it eventually.
It’s the box for the PAL version of Shenmue. So it is very blue, with Dreamcast emblazoned across the top and the swirl in the top right. Below that is the gorgeous Shenmue logo that looks like something out of a Japanese period drama.

It’s that easy, is it? Never mind governments leaking this data like @gruber.foo keeps saying, you just have to spoof their email domain and these idiots will fall for it because they’re so scared of fines.

#RandomGameSaturday well, not that random. My original copy of Ocarina of Time. This game took me sox years to finish (on and off) mostly because I got so stuck on the water temple I restarted the game.
The lovely golden box for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Nintendo 64. The front features a sword and shield and the word Zelda in red letters.

Happy 60th Star Trek. I was too young to watch TOS, but I knew of it, so I was excited to watch TNG when it started, but my abiding memory of watching Encounter at Farpoint was being soooo bored.

Odd, I guess we got this early in the UK? Funny how the message of the movie mirrors its real life struggle to get released, which makes the film all the sweeter. If you love Warner Bros films you owe it to yourself to see this on the big screen. If not, it’s just ok.

@liss.bsky.social something I didn’t realise when I leased a car was that the car might be worth way more than the balance of the lease at the end. What if SSD/RAM prices keep increasing the way they are? You could lease a Mac, use it for two years, sell it, pay off Apple and pocket the change.

@liss.bsky.social I’m in the same place when it comes to electric cars. I know I need one, but none speak to me. None of them are something I want. We are in such a poor place, design wise. Even the German EVs are unappealing. Maybe I’ll wait for Alfa Romeo to do one. Even if it is yet another SUV.

My first import gale was (deep breath) Spider-man & X-men in Arcade’s revenge. It was some kind of Taiwanese clone of the Super Famicom game. The worst part was it had an issue where if you ducked on the opening Spider-man stage, the game would reset! Apologies @stepickford.bsky.social.

The reason Windows on Arm failed wasn’t because it was too early. It failed because Windows 8 sucked and Arm couldn’t rescue that mess of an ecosystem.

This sums up how I feel about “AI” right now. If this technology is supposed to give me back time for “high level thinking”, then why does it feel like I spend my days babysitting it? I’ve never been more stressed at work. siddhantkhare.com/writing/ai-f...

@adriansdigitalbasement.com there’s two schools of thought on eating Pocket Coffee. There’s the way that involves carefully biting one end off and drinking the coffee out before eating the chocolate. And then there’s the yolo pop the whole thing in and bite down way. Why not try both?
