Non-sensical ramblings, with a dash of madness.
The iPad mini with a Smart Folio cover fits nicely in place of the in flight entertainment screen. #likeaglove

Never thought I’d ever have to run a “reset” process for Notepad just because it decided to lock up when it auto opens a file that it no longer has access to everytime it launches. #Windows11

Spring has sprung in Adelaide.

Thanks to @archive.org, I can easily compare the price difference between current and previous generation #Apple #iPhone prices across different generations. In #Australia, the #iPhone17 prices have gone down ($200-150 cheaper) across the storage range, compared to #iPhone16...

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Note to self: Do not try micro soldering on a tightly packed PCB.

Here goes nothing, last looks of the 5DII before the motherboard comes out. #prayformojo

Well, that lens weather seal has seen better days. Pretty easy to swap it out on a Canon EF lens.

First time encountering a camera with laser burn/damage to its sensor. This poor Canon 5D Mark IV is, unfortunately, going back to the seller. 🥲

The corner masking and inconsistent radius between UI and hardware is probably the next most jarring thing in iPadOS 26, right behind #liquidass, I mean #LiquidGlass. WTH are you doing Apple?!

Can we talk about how Billy Sorrentino, Senior Director of Human Interface at #Apple is having awkward hands using an iPhone 16 Pro Max during #WWDC25? Maybe it's time for them to admit that modern smart phones are just simply too big for the average human hand to operate ergonomically.

Everybody: NINTENDO SWITCH 2!!!
Me: Nintendo GameBoy DMG-01, please.

A bit of #retro #gaming repair day.
5 hours later, repaired a few screens with vertical lines and transplanted the CPU board from a unit with dead screen into a new housing and an upgraded IPS screen.

On so many different levels, one can say that Apple has officially entered their "Windows Vista" era. "Liquid Glass" takes it from visual flair, straight to distraction nation, all within the time it took Craig to say "F1, baby". #Vista #Aero #Glass #UI #iOS26 #macOS26 #Tahoe
