What's old is new. Back in the day, I used to see random side conversations in zombie threads on phpBB forums. We eventually caught on and realized people were using the forums as a chat group because their instant message programs were blocked by their university or workplace. 🫠

Was checking out the product page for the new #Canon R8 M2, and saw the new Dual Pixel 3D feature. Looks awesome. On a slight tangent. the #Google Pixel phone has a "social media depth" feature for years, but no practical application. Maybe that will change soon. www.usa.canon.com/digital-came...

Installed Ubuntu #Linux on an old Core i7 Dell XPS laptop with 16GB of RAM from 2019. Installation was relatively smooth. Only issue I ran into was with TPM and disk encryption. I'll have to research that later. But so far it's very peppy and feels like a new computer.

Wish there was a filter to hide #Amazon Vine reviews. They're mostly unhelpful. It's always the same.. Just generic unboxing style pics, copy/paste of the product marketing, and then sell on eBay. These people never even used the product or intend to.

Dolly Parton was asked about avoiding politics: “You’ll find me and my opinions in a lot of my songs. But most of it is based on love, acceptance and lifting people up. My daddy was a Republican, my mama was a Democrat, and I’m a hypocrite!”

Why do modern #running shoes resemble 70s platform shoes? I'm having a hard time finding low stack and low heel drop shoes. Been running Asics GT-2000 series shoes for years but the last pair I got triggered some injuries due to the shoe redesign. Seems every shoe maker is following this trend. 😑

Pro Tip: When buying anything from Amazon, check the prices weekly until your return window is closed. Last week, I bought an item that went on sale.. the price dropped significantly 2 more times afterward. Since Amazon won't credit the difference, I had to return and re-buy it at the lower price. 🙄
