Videos like that I’m always amazed the creator even bothers uploading. I’d be so fucking embarassed it would never see the light of day.

But I guess its sunk cost fallacy. Gotta get that content out there I spent a week working on. I guess I can appreciate that. Theres also something to be said about being honest about your fuckups. I was so embarassed for him I noped out of that video so I dont really know how it ended, but I dont recall there being much humility about it?

It was this thing. Ages ago. https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/camping/earl-rugged-revolutionary-tablet/

The Earl Tablet.

I wish Eric had given us pebble v2 instead of beeper, honestly.

Agreed. I also see them all over youtube videos and stuff and I just can’t keep reading/watching. Its not like an ideological thing, i don’t hate generated art. I just find it so distracting.

Its fun with minimal bullshit.

Wow, thats some wild hyperbole there.

GIMP really needs its Blender moment.

Blender. I feel pretty confident in saying that there is simply nothing like it in the commercial world. Its feature set is unreal; its like the swiss army knife of 3D modelling programs. I can’t say enough good things about Blender. It has replaced so many secondary programs in my workflow and is slowly dominating to become my entire workflow.

It used to suck to use in the late 2010s and then work was done to overhaul its space-shuttle cockpit interface, and now it actually feels concise and usable. I freaking love blender now. Big time blender fanboy right here.

You can take my steamtroller when you pry it from my cold dead hands. Fucking love that thing. Not just for gaming either, couch computing is all possible via the steamtroller. LOVE IT.

Jeeze. Sorry to hear that. Love mine. Maybe the quality jumped with the 2+ 🤷‍♂️

Yeah I noticed that part too and just sort of randomly started equiping stuff. Usually I’m lost in RPGs so I’m just rolling with it.

In my completely unsolicited opinion Chris Pratt should have been Luigi and Charlie Day would have made a better Mario.

Adafruit was rolling through runs of ~70 per day for a while. First come first served. Dunno if they still are. I’d suggest setting up a stock alert with them.

I snagged one for my Beepy. They were so strict about scalpers they made me set up 2fa so they could verify my account.

All mac computer lab (rev a/b iMacs), locked down with foolproof. No problem; bring a zip drive and boot from it by holding down option at startup. Use resedit to edit the extension for foolproof and remove all its resources. Extension no longer works.

Reboot into a completely unrestricted finder. Good times.

Before it closed, the Brantford Computer museum here in Ontario had an amazing collection of machines. My wife took my friends and I there for my birthday one year and oh man what a trip. They had everything on display, from common systems like the c64 to really rare ones like the Unisys Icon. All up and booted, ready to be played with. But despite all these ultra rare systems the one that caught my eye was the Apple Pippin.

I grew up an insufferable mac fanboy (now reformed and agnostic), and as a kid I had heard tons about the pippin, but it was so obscure and terrible that I was sure I would never get to play one IRL.

But there I was, smile on my face, playing Super Marathon on that crappy pippin. I had the time of my life that day.

Thanks for everything Syd. RIP dude.
