setting up a new-old-stock ge cassette clock radio (~30 years old and works perfectly!) and lamenting the state of the world because THEY PUT A SPARE BULB THAT YOU PROBABLY WON'T EVER NEED *INSIDE THE CLOCK*, JUST IN CASE IMAGINE A MANUFACTURER OF LITERALLY ANYTHING DOING THIS IN 2026

a newly-set up ge model 7-4966 cassette clock radio. it's black plastic and fake wood-grain with a glowing amber/orange display that says 3:49, WAKE 1 ♫. sitting on top are 3 cassette new cassette tapes: the mountain goats days, melanie radford's for the sake of stillness and ratboys' singin' to an empty chair

photo of the ge model 7-4966 cassette clock radio instruction manual

ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
The light intensity of the digital display can be adjusted for day/night lighting conditions by switching BRIGHTNESS to high, medium, or low. The BRIGHTNESS switch is located on the left side of the cabinet.

now, the miraculous section:

DISPLAY ILLUMINATION
The digital display is illuminated by a bulb which is easily replaced. Under normal use, the bulb should give you years of dependable service. However, in the event bulb replacement is required, a spare bulb (included) is stored on the underside of the battery compartment door on the bottom of the clock radio.
To replace the bulb:
1. Disconnect the line cord from the AC outlet.
2. Turn the clock radio upside down.
3. In a recessed area directly beneath the display you will see the bar handle of the bulb holder. Twist the handle to the left to unlock and remove the holder.
4. Pull the bulb out of the holder and discard the bulb.
5. Open the battery compartment and remove the spare bulb from the underside of the door. Replace the battery compartment door.
6. Push the new bulb's base into place between the prong connectors

happy saturday, internet

doctor who, 3 frames from The Stolen Earth, the tenth doctor (david tennant) and donna (catherine tate) stand outside the tardis looking concerned and ask a passing milkman, "excuse me! what day is it?"

he replies. "saturday!"

the doctor looks slightly less concerned and says "Saturday? Good. Good. I like Saturdays."

Teardropper

Teardropper is a python-based app and ffmpeg wrapper that restores the original NTSC DVD 5.1 mix of Massive Attack's Teardrop opening to HD/digital episodes of House. It identifies one of the known replacement themes, aligns the corresponding DVD source, restores scene lead-in/overlap when necessary, extends Teardop's fade-out by up to 1 second to cover the digital release's slightly-longer sequence, loudness-matches the result, and remuxes in newly-corrected 5.1 FLAC with the untouched HD-source video and subtitle streams. Only audio is re-encoded, all other source tracks and data are copy-only.

nothing in the world is funnier to me than "gordon's office" in hell's kitchen - like he's spending time in there, what, taking calls? filing? returning emails?

hell's kitchen, season 20 episode 8 - gordon ramsay sits at "his desk" in "his office", he's holding a pen apparently writing something, there's a picture and a cup of pens on there along with a bunch of manila envelopes and a file tray - chefs jackets hang on the wall

bandcamp just did the coolest thing, omg!

Subsonic implementation (beta)

Bandcamp now implements the Subsonic API for streaming your collection.

With a supported Subsonic client—currently Amperfy, Feishin, and Submariner, others may work but these are the ones we suggest—you can log in and immediately listen to your collection on several different platforms.

To get started, go to Fan Settings, scroll down to Subsonic and generate your credentials. You can then add Bandcamp as a Subsonic or OpenSubsonic server in your Subsonic client with the server URL https://bandcamp.com/api/subsonic. Once you’re set up, you can stream/download your collection and create/edit playlists (which will show up in your Bandcamp collection on the web/app, too!).

Please note this is an open beta. Things might be a little slow if you have a big collection. Check out the Bandcamp blog for screenshots and more details.

Thanks,
Bandcamp

the layoff numbers are fucking insane, but what's also jumping out at me is "reduce its vendor spend by 50%", which is an absolutely fucking insane thing to do, let alone while you're losing 20% of your workforce i can't imagine how they'll implement this without crippling their entire business

Other layoffs will take place across the company’s platform teams, with Sharma aiming to “reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3.” Sharma says the company will “streamline how we work across our tools” and reduce its vendor spend by 50 percent. The company is also promoting Helen Chiang, current corporate VP at Microsoft and head of Mojang, to the role of COO as current COO Dave McCarthy retires.

finished anemoi! took about a month, 90-ish hours? after summer pockets, which was great but a bit too familiar and safe, it was so much more rewarding to follow Key through a huge, confident, ambitious, messy, and thoughtful story about finding a home. going to miss hanging out in masumi town 🥹
