Xodium @xodium.net · 03/10/2026PSA for anyone annoyed with iOS 27’s whole drag-to-search AI thing in screenshots, you can turn that off. Go to settings > screen time > content and privacy restrictions > Siri Scroll to the bottom and turn off Extensions You may also want to kill off image generation too while you’re in here. 064
Xodium @xodium.net · 03/10/2026Scored an S10e at ewaste and after some work getting past the FRP lock…got it working. Of course had to stick an appropriate theme on it too. 000
Xodium @xodium.net · 03/10/2026Saw this pop up and I thought last year they were stepping back from covering Modretro stuff. Guess not. On the shit list they go. 162
Xodium @xodium.net · 30/09/2026oh jeebus C’mon Apple you were supposed to be one of the good ones! 283
Xodium @xodium.net · 30/09/2026uh great, I guess “rebuild the local media library” is on the agenda tonight because holy shit what happened 120
Xodium @xodium.net · 29/09/2026Posted this on the other place that I usually don’t post to and forgot to share it here 070
Xodium @xodium.net · 29/09/2026so yeah it happened The plan was originally “rough it” until a good friend slid into my DMs and was like “you want to go up a storage tier, and I’m due for an upgrade, and I really want a 17 Pro Max. Maybe we can work something out.” Sure enough, the numbers were agreeable, and…yep. So much room. 130
Xodium @xodium.net · 28/09/2026I mean seriously, look at that poor thing, wouldn’t YOU want to kick ‘em all in the nads? (Thankfully this is also the episode where Looker takes ‘em all to the Slap Zone so maybe justice was served.) 000
Xodium @xodium.net · 28/09/2026One of those blips in smartphone history that I like to revisit is when HTC was *the* shit in the Android space and around 2010 one of their designers had a midlife crisis and just…colored the insides of their phones in loud colors and I just LOVE this little bit of whimsy in phone design 0100
Xodium @xodium.net · 26/09/2026So yeah, I traded my old 98 box for this. Been a while since I rode a bike, gonna be fun to pick it back up. 050
Xodium @xodium.net · 25/09/2026also yes, Rootie is an account on my Switch because why not Also I have receipts! Literally! 030
Xodium @xodium.net · 25/09/2026Dumb photo of the Cube but… I’m doing some fixins in anticipation of SoCal and maybe Mactoberfest and I want to know: should I change the outer LEDs to red, or keep them purple? 121
Xodium @xodium.net · 25/09/2026In fact I’m really going to call into question the motives because the person who vibe coded this (by their own admission) works for OpenAI, so I’m heavily going with this being a thinly veiled dig at the anti-genAI folks. 320
Xodium @xodium.net · 25/09/2026This has been making the rounds in my circles and I vehemently hate it. It feels like a vibe-coded “ha, gotcha, you can’t tell AI from reality” all because it puts six images in front of the user and then puts them under pressure to tell if it’s AI. It’s not representative of reality at all. 111
Xodium @xodium.net · 24/09/2026A photo of his half of our combined table. Yeah my Cube’s a little uh…beefed up but still. I need to see if I can find my OG iPhone to finish it off. 020
Xodium @xodium.net · 24/09/2026I’m telling you the game knew something Also realizing there was a missed opportunity to make this Lumiere Island 111
Xodium @xodium.net · 23/09/2026Also not me going and finding the episode Shellos appears in and watching it because hell yeah (Also Piplup is awesome too) 020
Xodium @xodium.net · 23/09/2026owwwwwwwwwwww. Driving a small 90s econocar in a city full of gigantic American trucks certainly is an experience 171
Xodium @xodium.net · 22/09/2026Quote post with your favorite water type? Oh this is easy because it is one of my favorites. East Sea Shellos. 020
Xodium @xodium.net · 22/09/2026From a DM with a friend and I’m just gonna post it here without context 0203
Xodium @xodium.net · 21/09/2026I’m a simple guy. If it’s a stuffie with a smiley face like this, I’m in. 180
Xodium @xodium.net · 21/09/2026Was going back through my photos to find some images of A Hell Of A Goddamn Project I took on back in 2022 and found this screenshot and I know I sent it to my friend all like "look, our table, it's on a thumbnail!" and now going back over it...oh hey, that was @xar.ph's channel! LMAO. 120
Xodium @xodium.net · 21/09/2026So yeah I’m gonna have my work cut out for me. Not sure how I’m gonna proceed with making this look presentable, either try to get someone to model it and make it 3D printable, or lean into the damage and do something wild with it. Decisions, decisions. 140
Xodium @xodium.net · 20/09/2026Places like this make me wish for a function that allows one to blanket block anyone who has ever posted here because holy shit lmao. (Heard of this place and went to go look and it’s as bad as you think.) 230
Xodium @xodium.net · 20/09/2026Y’know, a good thing to keep in mind: if there’s a plushie you like and they’re decently cheap, buy multiple. Don’t hog them all, but definitely get more than one. Because like, Rootie and her friends? They were on clearance at Five Below when I got them and now they’re effectively extinct. 111
Xodium @xodium.net · 18/09/2026Man. What a day at @montereybayaquarium.org. The iPhone 17 Pro continues to be nothing short of amazing at photos in low light. Also very happy I got to meet a sea lemon! And Chicken Sandwich the hat-wearing nudibranch is very happy she got to see her cousins. And have a macaroon. 060
Xodium @xodium.net · 17/09/2026I love this lil guy. Always runs up to everyone approaching as if to say “hiiiiiiiiii!” 040
Xodium @xodium.net · 17/09/2026Going to a place today so what crunchy camera am I going to take? Screw it, Lumia 920. (I really want to find a 1020. Badly. I also don’t have eBay money for one.) 040
Xodium @xodium.net · 16/09/2026Decided I needed to get kicked in the feels one more time. Wanted to go back and experience the final bosses of Expedition 33 without using the one-tap-kill-everything Verso build I had going and let the battles REALLY play out. Man. What a time. 110
Xodium @xodium.net · 15/09/2026“But in getting rid of your PS5 you’re gonna lose all your digital games!” Nah. Not really. Thanks to @gutbomb.net for hooking me up with his PS4. If I have to give Sony one thing these days, it’s that all the “PS5” games I bought digitally…also entitle me to the PS4 variants. 050
Xodium @xodium.net · 14/09/2026Oh yeah, kinda missed that this year marked *20* years of Steam for me. Good lord. Time flies. 120
Xodium @xodium.net · 14/09/2026I already feel old enough looking at this but I can tell you that shiz goes back even further. Like, I had a legacy account back in 2003. Hell, my time with Blizzard outdoes my Steam account by a couple years! 130
Xodium @xodium.net · 14/09/2026Rootie went on a #VCFMW rampage of cuteness! Appreciate @torbar.bsky.social agreeing to be her handler. And appreciate @jeffgeerling.com and @adriansdigitalbasement.com being great sports and allowing themselves to Get Slugged. (As well as @museumjoe.bsky.social and @bluescsi.com) 5404
Xodium @xodium.net · 13/09/2026The partner found this for free at a free market and heh, wonder if it still does anything. Also @yaps.kayadoestyp.ing yet another game I only have experience due to you 120
Xodium @xodium.net · 13/09/2026Okay is the Google weather app like vibe coded trash or something because lmfao it is most definitely not 47 here or I’d be freezing my nuts off 020
Xodium @xodium.net · 13/09/2026With the sale, fuck it I’m going back to 2020 Maybe I can try streaming it or something sometime 030
Xodium @xodium.net · 12/09/2026I have heard from her handler that Rootie is having a good time terrorizing #VCFMW with wholesomeness and smiles and cowboy hats. 062
Xodium @xodium.net · 12/09/2026AppleCare? Nah. I got RootieCare™. This phone is protected by smiles and good vibes or something like that (Had to let go of my Spigen C1 because it friggin started breaking. I’m sad. At least this case is kinda cool though. 020
