While on Step 3 of applying for the new Claude CVP, a step where I was screenshotting my dozen plus MSRC case numbers as requested, and despite being approval under the original, they banned me.

Shout out to Immich memories for reminding me of my surprisingly successful attempt at Homelab full mineral oil submergence coolant on 5-2-19, in this case, using 2 Raspberry Pi 3 B+s, a ton of velcro, a suspicious doordash oil of solely mineral oil and a wall flower half sphere vase from Amazon.

Just what I wanted from my IDE, I guess it's useful for www.emojicode.org developers lol.
Change notes in Visual Studio 2026, with the title "Productivity" then the subtitle "Color Emojis", stating "Visual Studio now displays emojis in full color throughout the IDE, making your code comments, markdown files and chat conversations more expressive.".

Yikes. Went to check the price of my UHS-II card I bought for my Lenovo Go S for emulation ROMs at the beginning of the year, and yeah, more than doubled in price.
Original price of a Lexar UHS-II micro SD card I bought in Jan 2026 for $44.99.Same Micro SD card, now $114.99 new, more than double the price.

Introducing certkeys.titleos.dev, a client side capability and console certificate reader & render for Xbox One/Series certificates. Certificates are not transferred to any server, this is merely hosted static. If interest, adding the ability to edit or generate certs could be on the horizon.

Ouch. Good thing I already have mine. I remember when the USB dongles use to go for more than the controller itself for VR tracking support.

The advanced technology group's store subscription is a bit odd. Shows up as a recurring subscription, but without a next billing date. The subscription system doesn't seem to support an "infinite" sub given that even the UWP dev license for me is showing it will expire in 2066, so 🤔

A simple tool against cameras and ultimately facial recognition is the infrared LED. It won't be much help if ICE has physical hold of you, but the idea is IR light is invisible to the human eye, but show up on camera. Douse your face in invisible IR light and cameras see your head as a white orb.

Got a Sony Mavica MVC-FD88 camera recently, a digital camera that saves to floppy disks. It even can do video at 240p, 15FPS for 15 seconds max. I've been interested in photography for a while but never had a dedicated camera, always just used my cell. The camera has a unique style I love.

So many uses, I've been using Ollama with my Home Assistant instance via github.com/valentinfrlc... to provide a text based summary of motion from my various security cameras upon motion for a few months. Example below of when utility workers were in my backyard trimming trees near the power lines.
Cropped image of a notification from the Home Assistant app on Android. The title reads Vision Analysis of Backyard Motion. The notification body reads "{'response_text': 'In the scene, there is a person visible on the left side of the image. This individual appears to be engaged in yard work or landscaping activities. They are wearing safety gear which includes a bright yellow high-visibility jacket with reflective stripes and a green hard hat for protection. The attire suggests that they might be performing some form of manual labor, possibly related to tree trimming or'}"
