Discovered Sungazer (and Sungazer Plus) via TikTok last night. Played a video which represents about the last minute and a half of this video for Thicc, from the apology onward. Let it loop and loop.
Didn’t know I was into electro jazz fusion, but there it is.
One song shy of a complete rip, a CD shattered in the drive. Have never experienced such a thing. I bought my first CDs and CD player in 1987. The CD that shattered was from 2002.
It looks like I started using 1Password after I stopped using ICQ and AIM and all of the others. Out of nostalgia I looked to see if I had any login info recorded. I was fond of Trillium and Pidgin and it seems like there were some Adobe AIR applications in there somewhere, too.
Amazing how things change. I saw an article about Atari finally winning the original n war with their purchase of Intellivision. I had an Intellivision, but all my friends had Atari. Then Colecovision had way better home versions of arcade games (in those days). Atari always had greater mindshare.
Changed a display panel for my “home theater” system for a bigger one. Suddenly the HDMI cable from the receiver to the display was an issue. The one that had worked wonderfully for years needed to be replaced. Now, for the first time evar, the AppleTV realizes it’s connected to a receiver. What?
I am amused when things are described as MacBook killers, or iPhone killers. If they aren’t running MacOS or iOS, how are they pretending to compete? I’ve used Windows computers since 1995, Macs since 2005. They are not made for the same audiences. Most minds are made up.
I work in IT. Every “problem” I “solve” creates concerns about deeper issues I cannot address in my role. After a long carreer of this, the more I feel like my “answers” are glib, or shallow, and are only work-arounds at best. Everywhere I look, I see the proverbial bailing wire and twine.
How does your team onboard new members? Who shows them what applications are used and how? Who shows them where the data is and verifies they have access? Who helps them to meet team members of other teams? Who makes sure the new managers have all of the information they need?
Trying a Linux distribution I’ve not tried before, and an email client I haven’t used for decades. I’m not interested in suggestions in the Start Menu nor AI features. I get plenty of Microsoft via my employer. I’m interested in AI but I’m not convinced I need it
TIL that one’s custom email address isn’t exactly how one retrieves iCloud email. That single detail could have saved significant pain before today, but I got in. So I have that.
