@hawaiiboy Another perspective is that he knows exactly what he's doing, and he's having the EOs explained for the benefit of the MAGAts watching. It's performative, to be sure, but he's marketing his lies to further his agenda. I'm not trying to suggest that others don't have their own agendas they believe will win out in the end, but that's a whole other can o' worms.

@hawaiiboy Didn't you hear!? Mars has plenty of air, water, and casinos!

@hawaiiboy Watched last night. We were stunned through the entire thing, but I spoke up at that one. What an interesting episode!

@microsocial Agreed! Great app :)

@hawaiiboy For the best effect, right click the video and activate the Loop feature... then click play.

@paulogpd Thanks :) No matter how dark the night, if there is even one star in the sky there remains some light... or something prosaic like that ;)

@jarrod Hee :) I have to imagine that Apple's implementation of the C-series wireless chip is deliberately designed like their A and M parts; scalable, capable, efficient. Likely even more so, since they'll likely have versions for the Apple Watch, as well. I'm also quite sure that they're waiting to see how the 16e works under real-world conditions before they start rolling it out to more products.

@jarrod I'm not sure where you are on the Apple product spectrum, but if you have an iPhone logged into the same Apple ID, that iPhone just becomes another internet access point in your wireless menu. Just pick it from the desktop and it turns on without having to touch the phone. I use it on occasion when our ISP goes down, and have even gamed in TF2 and OW over the connection. It's not an integrated modem, but it works quite seamlessly :)

@manton Oh, hell yeah. I'm far happier with bespoke apps for each service.

@paulogpd Oh, yeah. I hear you. I'm skeptical of everything these days. Action over words, as it were. Or, in the words of some movie guy, show me the money. Thanks to TFG words now have little value so I'll wait to see what's going to happen like the spectators we've been made into by power structures world wide. Sorry I'm sounding so pessimistic :D

@manton Oooh! That'd be interesting to repost some stuff from my PDAHandyman days :)

@manton Now THAT I would have been okay with 😁

@manton Yay!

@hawaiiboy See! Magic 😁

@hawaiiboy Maybe that's the magic... 🧐

@patrickrhone I claim red herring!

@crossingthethreshold I gotcha :) Glad it was just a glitch!

@ianrogers Oh, I hear you :) There are three kinds of people. Those who are fans of the band, those who think they only exist as some kind of terrible attempt to create a new "Rick Roll" meme, and the lucky ones who've never heard of them. I firmly believe the former is, by far, the smallest contingent by several orders of magnitude.

@Miraz Ah ha! Well, glad I could help out :)

@tylerknowsnothing.bsky.social Apple Music tricked me. They have two Simon Phillips and they blend one with some of Drummer Simon's albums, and another Artist entry with the Protocol albums. In the blended one, they have two Protocol albums listed as releasing in 1989, even though II came out in 2015. Apple pulls crap like this.

@Miraz Oh poop. I pasted the wrong image. This is it. Wow.

@Miraz Oh yeah. He shows up in my desktop app. The blog itself isn't working, though.

@Miraz It appears that @crossingthethreshold is no longer active. Could be rebuilding, but I've checked a few times over a few minutes. Not sure if that's how it works. Followed a few, though. Thanks!

@manton LOLZ 🤣

@robdaemon LOLZ. IKR. Mine is stripped to the bone, local account only, and I just use it to play video games. I use Chris Titus' WinUtil to gut the hell out of it and Firefox as a browser. It works on Windows 11, too, but I refuse to use it and stick with 10. Soon I'll migrate to Linux since Marvel Rivals and most of my other Steam games work just fine there. github.com/ChrisTitu...
