So a single corporation’s botched software update was enough to disrupt our entire national flight infrastructure? We are so cooked.

The setup evolution, now with trackball.

My desk in the raised standing position. In the middle is a large LG UltraFine display. To the left is a docked MacBook Pro on a vertical stand with the lid open. On the right is a closed work-supplied MacBook Pro. The keyboard and trackball are visible in the middle of the desk.

I ordered a trackball mouse for the first time in my life and I already love it.

Made the horrible mistake of using acetone to get rid of a logo on my mouse. It ate a hole straight through the plastic. Rest in peace.

I hope there is a way to turn off all of the upcoming OpenAI garbage as it relates to new Siri integrations.

I see that GrubHub+ now comes with Amazon Prime… as if this company could not become any more all-encompassing.

Composing an escape plan in the anticipation of Apple adopting OpenAI into its OS/apps. Hopefully they will be in control of where/how the data is used. No point in having “advanced security” for e2ee enabled if the OS is sitting with the keys and sending info to OpenAI servers.

I’m sure this means all of the writers will get a cut of the license costs, right? You know, the people who produce the content?
