Does podcasting have a “discoverability problem”?

Who knows, but search is not one discrete thing.

Even the search in Podcast Addict gives me three options and they do return different results.

Hit up the local secondhand stores and got a heap of records for $2 each.

A new version of OBS Studio can bring exciting new features and bug fixes, but should you upgrade straight away?

Well, MAYBE.

If you're not obnoxiously putting your logo onto everything, what are you even doing with your life?!

If you're not obnoxiously putting your logo onto everything, what are you even doing with your life?! 🤣

[Amazingly this flocked windshield via AliExpress only cost $15.90 Australian, including postage, and has the logo on both front and back.]

Here's an interesting YouTube thing:

If you click the LIKE button on one of @samproof.bsky.social's @cuteavalanche.bsky.social cat-themed videos the like button animates into a cat for a split second.

Try it out for yourself.

I was hoping to editorialise but honestly I've got nothing, Twitter is weird.

I'm not saying charcuterie will heal the hole in your soul, but it probably can't hurt.

When is a monitor not a monitor?

When it's a DUMMY MONITOR.

Has anyone heard of this game?

Players throw dice and then mark off which numbers they got.

As seen on AliExpress.

Found a place to put my Studio Ghibli Collection on display.

Not entirely sure what's going on with Billy Joel, but I keep getting ads to create an eCard with my photos and his songs, and I assume it comes with GeoCities "Under Construction" GIFs.

We didn't really have home videos growing up, but a family friend took some footage of an event. He gave us a copy on a VHS tape. It's not the most exciting viewing experience, but it is full of memories and nostalgia and the faces of many people (and animals) who are no longer with us.

My inner impulse buyer:
Well you never know when your camera is going to need a tiny umbrella.

Sometimes I buy records for the cover artwork and/or general sentiment.

I know, I know, “Die Hard is a Christmas movie.” But this Hans Gruber advent calendar (as seen on Amazon) is BLEAK.

Why are the 2005–2022 series and the 2023– series considered separate shows?

I was intrigued to see the BluRay collection featuring Ncuti Gatwa was called “Season One.”
