that looks like a first gen ipad, so photo taken circa 2011?!

there are ways to make it easier; it’s been gamified:

Best backpack I’ve ever owned for EDC and camera.

I’ve also added the mk1 camera cube for trips where I take a lot of camera gear.

Just be aware the company is REALLY slow to ship… Like, TRAGICALLY bad… I had to wait months each time I’ve bought stuff… That being said though, I’d wait again… And I’m about to buy a new prima system as this one is getting old (after many years of EDC) and I’m looking at the XPAC version.

They run GrapheneOS Wonderfully…

LOL… Malicious compliance at its best…

I backpack it everywhere. I love boundary supply, but they’re expensive and lord almighty are they slow to ship…

That being said, I EDC a Prima system as it also hadles my laptops and camera gear which travels with me frequently. I’ve just added one of their bottle carriers to the shoulder strap and I’ve got another one to install…

In addition to the backpack, I’ve moved to pants with plenty of pockets. I live in 5.11 cargos (pants or shorts) and even wear the 5.11 tactical jeans which have an extra pair of pockets (usually for ammo. I use them for wallet and phone…)

Someone made it and got it flying. Its available as a hobby rocket model kit:

This needs a government / IEEE / domain registrar policy of some sort. Maybe it should simply be that all expired domains are put into stasis for 10 years.

If you want to buy it and have access to it sooner, then you need to run (and pay for) a program of works to catch and proactively kill all linked accounts, and build a register of embargoed existing email addresses that must be set to bounce.

I knew this was a problem, but wow, had no idea it was this bad…

Because I have a [email protected] type email, I get SOOO many people signing up for accounts with my email, forgetting that theirs had some number suffix. I get peoples phone bills, pizza receipts, Amazon orders, parking meter e-receipts, Xbox live accounts, Dropbox logins, you name it.

I NEVER thought of what that would look like at a domain level!

+1 for Thunderbird for Windows, OSX and Linux…

As a product manager, I simply choose to overlook things like “implementation details” or “the laws of physics!!” /s 🤣

On a more serious note, I’m just reaching a point where I just want a small, reliable, and minimalist mp3 playing app for the Mac, as I’m starting to get sick of every single service wanting $20/m for stuff.

I pine for the whipping the Lamas ass winamp used to give…

There’s a recreation in re:Amp for osx, but I’d much prefer OSS apps…

Generally, I’d rather go back to just buying the music I want, ripping it and putting it on the devices I want to listen to it from…

Mac Port! Mac Port! Mac Port!

I’m a product manager and I want to punch this comic strip!!!

Depends on the price. I was able to return a 13 month old iPhone when apple announced the CSAM scanning (that they eventually abandoned) - I got a full refund. The phone costs enough that ACL considers it should operate for at least 2 years.

At least in Australia, Consumer Law means you have grounds to walk the TV back for a full refund.

So THAT’S why they called that the “Taco Bell Comet”…

Yes. I can hear to about 18kHz, so cheap USB chargers are no longer allowed in my house…

Worse, the EV chargers I used to work with had PEMs switching at 10kHz for the US UL variants. EVERYONE could hear those!!

Test your hearing range with this if you want…

I used the 10kHz tone to annoy the eng dept in the office till they changed the PEM switching freq to 20kHz…

Had a miniature poodle go blind at my parents hiise when I was 17/18 and he was peeing everywhere in the house suddenly.

Spent a day watching and realised he was laying scent markers for navigation.

Cleaned up all the wee and started tagging the left side of every doorway with a different herb/spice (basil, thyme, Rosemary, paprika etc). Just grabbed some dried herbs and rubbed them in the bottom left of all the doorways.

Took the dog through the house on a lead, and let him smell each door and took him outside.

Pretty much stopped the inside peejng, unless we forgot to replace the herb/spice rubs, or mixed up which herb went where when we reapplied…

My friends started calling my place the KFC shack.
