I cannot express how utterly hilarious I find this. I mean, I’ll hand it to #TFG. He may not be a good negotiator, but he’s a damned good liar, and he’s snowed millions of Americans into believing that what he’s doing is for them. #cryptobros #idiocracy #capitalism arstechnica.com/tech-poli…
Like sociopaths testing the boundaries of society (sound familiar?), #streaming services keep raising rates to see how far they can stretch consumers, and they’re doing it again. We’re starting to get tired of this, and considering dropping a few. #capitalism #pricegouging www.theverge.com/23901586/…
If you like fighting games, #AnimeNewsNetwork have teamed up to give away 1,000 passes to the Closed Beta of The Hidden Ones. This is for #PC players only. Starting today and giving 200 out a day until gone. It looks fantastic. #videogames www.animenewsnetwork.com/giveaway/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Big Country - The Crossing (1983). While the US ate up the single “In a Big Country” we ignored the rest of the album. That’s a shame because it’s freaking amazing. Great band. #music #rock #folkrock www.youtube.com/watch
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Al Di Meola - One of These Nights (2005). This is the full live show on #YouTube, and I am in awe. #prog #jazzfusion, #latinjazz #soundtrack and more, I’m left stunned. The remastered album is on #AppleMusic #music #live www.youtube.com/watch
It seems that every week now brings us a new #restomod, yet most of them are nigh unattainable at well over $100K or far more. #Rocketeer didn’t start to change that, but their SJ30 V-6 swap into NA and NC #Mazda #Miata models are shockingly affordable & amazing. #cars www.youtube.com/watch
Denis Kitchen should be mentioned alongside #comicbook avant-garde guerrillas like Crumb, Spiegelman, and Eisner. He created the #CBLDF and published #Gay Comix. He fought for the artistic expression of the oppressed and marginalized. Now a #documentary is on the way. boingboing.net/2025/02/2…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Yellowjackets - Fasten Up (2025). The title track on this album is a monster of #JazzFusion. The rest of the cuts run the gamut of fusion with emotional highs and lows. Now in my library for regular listens. #music #jazz youtube.com/playlist
Anyone else surprised by the bombastic #hypocrisy of #TFG all hot for freedom and independence and the power of #capitalism, but pissed his pet project to disenfranchise #BIPOC Americans is being ignored by #Apple? It’s like he thinks he’s king or something. #uspol #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: David Lee Roth - The Warner Recordings (1985-1994)(2025). This boxset includes fully remastered repros of DLR’s debut EP, Eat ‘em and Smile, Skyscraper, and Your Filthy Little Mouth. Sounds great so far. #music #rock #hardrock youtube.com/playlist
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: The Smithereens - God Save The Smithereens Deluxe Edition (1999). The final studio album from this underrated #rock band, this version combines the album with Pat DiNizio’s Songs and Sounds debut solo album and bonus tracks. #music www.youtube.com/watch
This upcoming #Steam game looks like a real hoot! It’s called Castle V. Castle where you do just that. At its core it is a turn-based card battler and it leans hard into the monochrome aesthetics of the 70’s & it appears to be loaded with humor. #videogames www.rockpapershotgun.com/castle-v-…
Do you have a notification telling you some app like #Zoom is “Accessing Your Screen” on #Apple’s #macOS #Sequoia? Well, it seems to be a known bug, and #AppleInsider seems to have a fix. I can’t verify this because I keep crapps like Zoom off my machines. #tech #helpdesk appleinsider.com/articles/…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Michael Penn - MP4 (Days Since a Lost Time Accident)(2000). Suggestion: Dive into No Myth, Free-For-All, and Resigned, in that order, before moving on to this. This is Penn’s album and not radio-ready, but It’s deep and textured. #music #pop www.youtube.com/watch
So, the #Framework event just ended and here’s the breakdown:
For additional deets, click through. #tech #righttorepair youtu.be/dnCGwii7F…
Let’s dig in… First off, the Framework 13" laptop has been updated for 2025 with new translucent bezels (including the crucial Atomic Purple) and AMD Ryzen AI 300 series APUs. Framework is also working on updating the Framework 16" laptop with new large key stabilizers to eliminate noise and a new one-key module (more on that when I can get onto the website). The keyboard is also being updated with a Copilot logo, or …
Ten minutes until the #Framework 2nd Gen event where they will be announcing new product(s). There have been clues, but it remains a mystery. My guess is it’s a #SteamOS gaming handheld or settop box. They’ve also said that #AMD is involved. #tech #youtube #videogames www.youtube.com/live/-8k7…
Revere Kier with this 8-hour long remix of #AppleTV’s theme to their hit show, #Severance. Seems like the perfect vibe for refining data at your MDR. Feed your inner innie and outtie at the same time! #music #television #ODESZA #ambience youtu.be/JRnDYB28b…
You know, @appleinsider@mastodon.social, I’d love to cover your piece about the Steve Jobs Archive celebrating his life on the day he died, but when you don’t include any links to anything outside of your website, I cannot. Not helpful. #tech #apple #journalism
PROTIP For #Apple designer Susan Kare: Ditch the bling and make them affordable to actual human beings, and I bet you sell a lot more. Wouldn’t it be nice to sell many thousands instead of a few dozen? I think so. Nice designs, though. #tech #blockchain #capitalism www.theverge.com/news/6182…
Looks like #AYANEO is teasing a new #RetroGaming handheld they are dubbing the Classic, which appears to be a simplified version of their Pocket Micro, a pricey modern take on the Nintendo Game Boy Micro. No specs, pics, pricing or release date yet, though. #videogames #tech liliputing.com/ayaneo-cl…
I have precisely one #MechanicalKeyboard, a Keychron K5 SE low profile and its likely to stay that way. I recognize a lot of people really like them, though, and these custom keycaps reviewed by #TheGadgeteer look amazing, especially the Mixed set. #tech #mods the-gadgeteer.com/2025/02/2…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Yes - Fragile Super Deluxe (2024 Remaster). THIS is my first love in music. I was born in ‘68 and #Fragile dropped in ‘71, #Yes’ 4th studio release it is a #masterpiece, and this version is 4.5 hours of material. #music #progrock www.youtube.com/watch
One of the more reliable indicators of #Apple preparing to launch a new version of a system is when stocks on older machines start to drop. This appears to be happening now with the M3 #MacBookAir. The current #rumor is for a March release. #tech appleinsider.com/articles/…
UPDATE: The previous version of this post cited the current MBA with an M4, but it was supposed to be the M3. The updated version of the MBA should be getting the M4 soon.
The #Framework (2nd Gen) Event kicks off in exactly 24 hours from now Pacific time. Note that they’re hinting at a gaming “system” in conjunction with #AMD, which will be streaming the event on their AMD Gaming channel. Also mention of more. #tech #news #videogames www.youtube.com/live/-8k7…
#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Yes - The Ladder (1999). To this day it still surprises me that this is their 18th studio album. The entire album feels like a wonderful blend of classic and 90125/Big Generator era Yes with some clever callbacks. #music #progrock www.youtube.com/watch
