Well, well, well. The first “Special Teaser #Trailer” for Lupin the IIIrd: The Movie penned by mangaka Monkey Punch dropped a couple days ago and it’s stunning. And, if my eyes do not deceive me, all hand-drawn traditional #animation and directed by Takeshi Koike (REDLINE, great film). A fine, fine return to its original form that I look forward to taking in next year. #film #movies #LupinThe3rd #anime #2025 youtu.be/KopjWLIz5…

I’VE DONE IT!! I’ve found the single most stupid product on #Amazon!! I introduce you to the “Anti-Cat Keyboard Cover, Laptop Keyboard Covers cat Proof, Clear Keyboard Protector, PC Desk Stand for Keyboard Storage Acrylic Monitor Stand Riser and Laptop Stand Riser”. Sure, Amazon product names have become ludicrous, eschewing the need for an actual name and leaning 1000% into SEO, but this is ridiculous. If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s $50. #capitalism #caturday

Soooo, I just found out something interesting about #Apple’s #AirPodsMax. The cans were recently “upgraded” from Lightning to USB-C, but in the process received a downgrade in functionality. The new model can’t pipe audio over the USB-C cable like crusty old Lightning can!!?? WTF, peeps!? If you can, don’t kneecap your #headphone experience and get the Lightning model. Just wow. #music #audio www.macworld.com/article/2…

If you’re looking for a new #keyboard for your #Apple #Mac, #MacWorld has a nice feature with a load of deals for #BlackFriday. Now, I had (until recently) an MX Keys for Mac I accidentally dropped and a corner of it just shattered, so it’s not quite as sturdy as they claim. I replaced it with an MX Keys Mini (refurbished on Amazon for $45) and whilst not as massive, is still very nice and has updated function keys. #hardware www.macworld.com/article/6…

Oh FFS, #Sony! How petty can you get!! Clearly unhappy that #Nintendo overtook the #PlayStation2 as one of the most sold #VideoGame consoles of all time, they apparently looked back into their records to “find out” they’d actually sold 160 million! Just ugh. games.slashdot.org/story/24/…

It seems that one likely reason #ElonMusk decided to go all-in on #TFG, aside from being a complete lunatic, is that the #FCC has been imposing limits on how many #Starlink trash boxes he can deploy. Like any good #libertarian, he’s not fond of #regulation as he believes his vast wealth clearly indicates his superiority over other lesser beings, namely mere mortals. Stupid #capitalism. arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

Bluesky has a verification problem and this article outlines the issues in sharp detail. Well worth a read. #socialmedia #bluesky #verification www.engadget.com/social-me…

Sadly it seems that #Apple is going to be delaying the rollout of their redesign of the already fantastic Apple Mail. While the redesign is in the current beta of #iOS 18.2, it’s not in the #macOS or #iPadOS betas. The updates bring a more Messages-like layout, contact photos, automatic inbox organization, AI enhancements for supported systems, mail training, and a digest view. Looks like they’re taking the time to refine things before release in the next point release. 9to5mac.com/2024/11/2…

Now, THIS is very cool! I’ve been quite excited about the rise of so-called cyberdecks in the last few years, and this looks like one of the coolest ones I’ve ever seen. Powered by the nicely capable Raspberry Pi 5, the Pilet 5 (5" with integrated controls) and Pilet 7 (7" with a unique modular design) are full-on #handheld computers with a lovely #retro esthetic. The #Kickstarter campaign starts soon, as well. #tech #raspberrypi #rpi5 #cyberdeck liliputing.com/raspberry…

#OMG! Is there no low Elongated Muskrat won’t stoop to? Well, that’s a dumb question… I know. Maybe Lord #TFG will declare him Regent of the Sovereign Kingdom of teXas. See what I did there? Clever, no? #idiocracy #xitter #elonmusk gizmodo.com/elon-musk…
