I don’t think I could do violence in real life but the one thing that could push me over the line is if I saw a bunch of bad guys around a red explosive barrel, I don’t think I could resist shooting it

My favorite feature of my AirPods is when I drop the case and the AirPods rocket in opposite directions and end up under a piece of furniture where I can see them but can’t reach them without finding a broom or coat hanger to dig them out

I woke up a few days ago to find my #Reddit account had been suspended! No idea how this happened — I’m a tame poster, so maybe someone guessed my password and ran amok? It has been radio silence from Reddit after I submitted a help request. Anyone have any experience with retrieving their account?

Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...

To say that this one hits me hard is a huge understatement. David introduced so many of us to avant garde filmmaking, and his films still make me think and dream to this day. May he rest in peace. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/m...
David Lynch, Maker of Florid and Unnerving Films, Dies at 78

As shocking as the story is, I wish I could say it was surprising. We’ll be living with the consequences of these chemicals for decades (and likely longer).

I don’t know what magic rays Apple is using to make it work, but the ability to use my iPhone directly from my Macbook has gotten more “oohs” and “ahs” from family than any piece of tech I have shown them for the past decade.

An Apple patent has revealed that future iPhones could effectively get multiple Action buttons, as all three buttons on the left side of the phone become user-configurable.
