Got this 2009 Mac Pro and 24” Apple Cinema Display locally for $25 all together! Everything is in nice condition. I installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard on it using my NetRestore server and it running great! This is my second Mac Pro so I’m not 100% sure what I’ll do with this one yet.

I just made the silliest dumbest video I've made in 6 months (because that was the last time I made a silly dumb video, haha) and I can't wait to share it with you all.

Anyone buying any cool smart home stuff for Black Friday? I’m always looking for deals on stuff I can add to my house. I primarily use HomeKit but I have Homebridge on a Raspberry Pi as well.

Getting older is realizing how many of the songs you heard on the radio as a kid were by one same single artist.

Just a reminder that if Google’s search AI garbage is annoying to you, you can just use another search engine! I switched to DuckDuckGo a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. They have an AI search assistant but it’s super easy to one-and-done turn it off. I haven’t seen it in ages.

I have one more achievement left to get on Poliwager.net! But there are many Hidden Achievements left to obtain that no one has found.

How many Hidden Achievements can you find on Poliwager Adoptables?

Installed a new SSD into this 2014 Mac mini today. I hadn’t done the entire teardown before on these, usually I’d just shimmy the new drive into the slot but since this one was underneath and I didn’t have the cables for the top one, I had to open it fully. It wasn’t too bad!

Just like it was when iTunes and Dashboard went away in Catalina, the main reason I don't want to upgrade to macOS Tahoe anytime soon is that it removes Launchpad and the Music app appears to be much worse, again. I stayed on Mojave on my old MacBook until I upgraded to my M2 MacBook Air. :(

The first version of iOS 4 to come to iPad and unified the OS across iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, iOS 4.2, came out on this day 15 years ago, in 2010! iOS 4.2 featured multitasking on iPad for the first time, as well as other iOS 4 features like AirPlay and AirPrint.

This might be a hot take but I don’t agree with so many rankings saying that AM by Arctic Monkeys is the best album of 2013 or the most played or whatever.

It’s just… not that impressive of an album musically or lyrically? Some of the songs are kinda good imo but overall it’s mostly meh to me.

I can’t believe grocery prices these days. This cost me a whopping $65 for only these few things!

The unpopular iPod Server was a limited release intended for those few users who had libraries above and beyond the capabilities of a regular iPod.

It's a little known fact that the first iTunes Music Store was constructed of racks of unsold iPod Server inventory.

Every Pokemon game made after Crystal was "the bad one" actually and it's something I have to remind myself as I see people younger than me say Pokemon games weren't disliked until the Switch.

Occasionally I like to boot up my 2nd gen Apple TV and AirPlay some music or videos to it on my Sony Trinitron CRT connected with an HDMI to RCA adapter. It’s just so silly, I love that it still all works. I love the old Apple TV music interface and how it flips sides occasionally. #vintageapple
