This is how shit marketing looks like. What does this even mean?

This feature in iOS 26 Beta has saved me quite a couple of hours of politely declining business solicitation. If you're an apple user, you'll likely get it in September. If on Android, we have a similar feature in Bitdefender Mobile Security.

If you want the perfect, easy-to-sip jack and coke, do a 1-to-5 mix. Thank me later & welcome to Vegas.

At some point, I'll have to make up my mind whether I am a computer guy or a guitars guy and this scares me a lot.

So I have this Windows VM and just opened Steam in it for reasons. Next thing i know is I get a taskbar pop-up telling me about games on the Windows Store and then this. What's going on with Windows 11? How long have i been missing?

RSA 2025 recap: AI is the answer, Agentic is the buzzword, and Zero Trust kinda got rug-pulled for good vibes only. Booths are loud, promises are louder. Meanwhile I missed my connection and I'm stranded in Turkey. (SF was great this year though)

So many efforts spent on educating people about password hygiene gone in a blink. But hey, this WiseOwl is on sale. share.temu.com/szuONDcvvJA

Git is brilliant and brutal. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, but makes you feel stupid about it at least once a week. It's like a power tool with no safety guard: amazing in skilled hands, dangerous in clueless ones. We’ve all been one `git reset --hard` away from questioning life choices.

Just bought a new domain name. It's that weird rush of dopamine where your brain thinks you just acquired real estate, but it’s actually just a string of characters and delusion.

Love the way Gippity ghiblified this picture of mine. The lights and the background are represented eerily accurate.

I gave my dad my TV when his broke. Drove 480 km to drop it off. He didn’t die because he had no TV. No kids froze to death. No cities got bombed.
Meanwhile, 🇺🇦 Ukraine loses 40 people an hour and we cry over a missile system.
Context, people.

We Gave Away a Patriot. So What?
Forty Ukrainians die every hour, but sure, the Patriot system costs money.

if there’s one game i’d drag into the apocalypse with me, it’s Rocksmith.
Old, unmaintained, still unmatched. Updated last night to macOS 15.4 and boom - tits up. No fix. No patch, just silence.
RIP to my muscle memory and hope to become the next basement Clapton. steamcommunity.com/app/221680/d...
Rocksmith crashes on MacOS 15.4 :: Rocksmith® 2014 Edition - Remastered General Discussions
I updated Mac OS from 15.3 to 15.4 yesterday and now Rocksmith crashes immediately. We need a Patch from Ubisoft. Again. :-(
