Nothing brings me more joy than the conversion of the expression “bad dog” into the Spanish verb “badoguear”

Want to have everyone who knows what they’re doing flip the bozo bit on you? Refer to reasonable preventative maintenance as “shotgun recapping” and go on about how you “diagnose failures” and try to keep everything possible “original.”

Those original capacitors will eat traces and vias before there’s a failure to diagnose, dumbass.

@eschaton that seems overly optimistic thinking you can keep some. If the thing is old enough to need one replaced, they all need replacing

Star Wars toy sells for $525K.

  • Boba Fett action figure with “rocket-firing” action
  • 1 of only 2 surviving examples
  • Hand-painted version, never-released, deemed a choking hazard

Props to whoever had the foresight to save this all these years.

@davemark I remember playing with that. I can’t remember if it was mine or a friend’s. I definitely had the regular boba fett without the cool rocket action.

Got a Logitech ScanMan 32 handheld grayscale scanner for the Mac. I think it’s like the PC version but with an additional box to convert to SCSI.

I’ve never owned a handheld scanner before so this is going to be fun/awful. I want to try it with the

@paulrickards I had that exact one and it was really good for the time

@paulrickards if I recall the software would stitch side by side scans together so you could do a whole document. I think I had the serial or parallel version, not the SCSI

This year’s weight-loss journey. About 10lb in 10 weeks. I’m at least 40lbs overweight. But frankly I’ll take anything I can get.

You can totally spot the Mexico trip in the data though.

I dunno what they did to make Screen Sharing in macOS so fast now but, wow. It's nearly as good as sitting in front of the other machine.

I don’t understand the outrage over ’s EULA. The new terms are basic boilerplate. Anyone hosting content on the web has the same terms in their EULA.

Am I missing something? Or is this just another hoopla over nothing?

@drahardja I think it stands out because they simplified it and made it short enough that people actually read it. Most of the time it's buried in a huge ToS.

@daringfireball Comparisons to current profit and revenue don't matter -- the value of a stock is the reflection of what the public thinks about the future of a company, not the present.

Humane Warns AI Pin Owners to ‘Immediately’ Stop Using Its Charging Case

One really frustrating part of my artwork is taking photos of them. Photos always come out so different than reality. Ideally I'd like to shoot it once and not have to do anything to it so as to not misrepresent the work.

Notice in the original picture from my iPhone, the paper itself is lighter in the middle and darker around the edges of the work. You'd expect the light source to be running top/down, but it's not. It left/right from above.

I'd rather not Photoshop everything (2nd pic)..

A picture of a pen plot of three groups of Truchet tiles in CMYK inks. This version has been Photoshoped to make the white paper background uniform in brightness.
