  After paying 60k on a #car, the first thing to expect is... #Adverts. And #BMW says it's a "treat", a nice thing... https://www.theautopian.com/bmw-is-showing-commercials-on-their-cars-dash-screens-and-they-want-you-to-think-its-a-treat/

  Please help. My MSI Venture 15 A1MG suddenly has a weird problem. On the built-in laptop #keyboard, when I press "Enter", either the numpad one, or the normal one, the whole keyboard stops working. Very weird

  2026/2027 is going to be the year of the GNU / #Linux #desktop! How far are you in your Linux journey? What's your daily OS of choice? (If you're forced to use Windows at work, I don't consider that a daily driver of choice)

  Exhausting day today. First the #Repair #Cafe, then going for a #swim... I'm tired.

  I'm going to #Australia in a few weeks, for 10 days. What's the best pre-paid mobile connection to get? Probably I'll need mostly data, I don't expect to make much phone calls

  New #Lego! The #Hubble telescope set.

• Post #4293505

  Anyway, onto more important things. The new #Lego #NASA #Space #Ideas is out. It's the #Hubble #Telescope. So, once laundry is done, I'll be off to the store 😁

  Wow, that thundered weird in the distance. The house buzzed a bit, and then my phone and tablet buzzed... #eqnz

  Just so you know, I'm the same age as when Dvorak (the keyboard lay-out I use) became a word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Dvorak And the same age as VPNs https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virtual%20private%20network

  Many people seem to have forgotten, but #app is simply short for #application. And an application is a bit of software that can run on a #Turing complete bit of hardware.

  #Powershop has released their new "labs" application. This broke my old CSV import from Powershop into #HomeAssistant. And I couldn't let that go on for too long! So I built a new importer for Home Assistant. https://firesphere.dev/articles/ive-got-the-power?mtm_campaign=social&mtm_kwd=mastodon

  Alright, new #Powershop app. Time to start dissecting this thing. So far, 3 things are clear: - It looks.... vibe-coded? Is that a thing? - It's GraphQL - It's JWT - It makes no attempt at hiding what its doing

  I think the weather #forecast is a tiny little smidgen over the top compared to how windy it really is. It is windy though! It's just not _that_ windy

  Any #Grandstream users that know what a wifi client named "stamac" could be? I have hundreds of this notification. With two or three differenc mac addresses: Client { "stamac": "000000000000" } connection failure (wireless) .

  Is this done by #humans? I'm not a fan of these "badge" programs. https://firesphere.dev/articles/re-i-dont-really-like-the-human-made-badging-trend?mtm_campaign=social&mtm_kwd=mastodon I prefer the human.json system. But, either way, I never use #AI for my writing, including for the header images I use.

• Post #4022653

  FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, #Powershop entirely overhauling their systems. Still no proper #API, of course. And no, I'm not "keen to get my hands on the new experience" And I also don't understand why it has to take 3-6 days to "sync"... You're clearly doing something weird Powershop.

  Ehm, why is my #weather #forecast for tomorrow a #cyclone??

  My wife: Ooooh, the new #LEGO #Golden #Pothos looks cool! Me: Ehm... we have an actual Golden Pothos AND Neon Pothos right here!

  I had to reset and re-install #JetBrains' #IDE again (yeahyeah, blabla, #Windows, of course). And since that reinstall, the autocomplete that usually was simply completing functionality had gotten very erratic, and suggesting the stupidest auto-completes. I have a `#noai` file in all my projects, so.... I did not expect this setting to be turned on. But it was. Fucking #AI. Again. Amazing how this one checkbox turned a useful feature into a source of frustration. Especially because I've...

  >>> There's never been a better time to disenshittify your cherished normies' computers. <<< The best time was when they bought the computer (or when they showed it to you the first time). The second best time is now. @pluralistic@mamot.fr nails it again. Plus, some good advice on what addons to install (I missed Privacy Badger there, is that on purpose Cory?) https://pluralistic.net/2026/07/21/dickovers/#block-element But, may I add, please, please, disable all the AI...

  I've been reading #books again. Well, not again. Just been reading more, as usual. A new author, @inkican@mastodon.social deserves a spot in my library! And of course, more @pluralistic@mamot.fr https://firesphere.dev/articles/more-books-more-books?mtm_campaign=social&mtm_kwd=mastodon

  3 new little #LEGO kits. Or one, really. #Women of #NASA I wanted this one for quite some time, just got my hands on it today 🎉
