I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists
Contents

Introduction - vii

Foreword to the Revised and Expanded Edition - xi

Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien - 1

Notes - 607

Index - 637

Decided today that I am going to become extremely particular about music library structure & tags, and just as importantly, that I should be proud of it

If you’ve ever wondered why culture feels like it’s homogenized, why so many streets have the same 5 restaurants or why, despite having so many options, so many songs collapse into the same 2 to 2:30 minute-long structure w/ 50% chorus, then i recommend this (medium-length) essay

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo group.softbank/media/Projec...

Crested mynas, as many other birds, are born altricially, which means young are underdeveloped at the time of birth, therefore fed by parents. When they grow up, they have to learn that food doesn't simply jump into their beaks. [📹 Rebecca Gelernter] Original post

hello speedfriends. i currently am trying to walk someone through something that involves getting an exact frame count on a specific video frame (i.e. frame 2226 of 3970). what is the easiest way to find the frame count of a specific frame in a video? is this no longer a display setting in vlc?

here’s to 2026, because it would take real genuine effort for it to be worse than fucking 2025

got given a mic from a friend who swapped to headset. i don’t recognize brand, but i’ll be astonished if it’s worse than my venerable blue snowball. also, after over a month, i finally have the rma replacement for my dead primary monitor. signs may be pointing to a stream towards the weekend??

hatereading the new ezra klein / derek thompson book ‘abundance’. just three pages in and i already found the stupidest thing i’ve read all year
a quote from the book: “Thanks to higher productivity from AI, most people can complete what used to be a full week of work in a few days, which has expanded the number of holidays, long weekends …”

Turns out I've got a bunch of old Super Meat Boy speedruns archived, just chilling on a disk drive. It's been a hot minute since, and many if not most extant times from when I started running the game are now just dead links. Maybe I'm a bit of a packrat, but I'm glad I saved them
