    Hey straight people, here’s your chance to stand up and be an ally without leaving the couch, or wherever you are reading this. Take a moment to tell the FCC to pull its head out of its ass please. Here’s a great write up on what’s going on, with directions on how to help. https://glaad.org/fcc

    Is anyone else finding that with #ios26 you have to type your passcode to enable Face ID WAY more frequently than you used to? #ios

    Welp, had an engineering right of passage tonight. I’ve been using a multimeter for well over 4 decades now, never once have I blown a fuse in one. Until tonight. Wired it inline via the “fused 400mA” path with a 12v power supply, put it in Amperage mode. Proceeded to walk through the process of using the device under test… got the 23mA idle measurement, the 37mA armed measurement… then triggered it to pull the full 15A the supply was capable of. Oops. (Surprise, it was actually a 500mA fuse!)

    Just got this shared with me, absolutely nailed it. The ending was a perfect surprise. https://burningbird.net/the-parable-of-the-languages/

    Yes Anker’s support is fast. But OMG are they incompetent. Sending me debug steps that are physically not possible on this unit and telling me it has connections it clear as day does not.

    Installed and fired up a new application tonight, its UI is a total shitshow of overlapping text, buttons, input fields and labels. Nothing is un impacted. I assumed it was just built against the wrong library version since the project distributes a single binary for all Linux systems 🚩via a tar.gz 🚩. Pulled the source (had to install svn to do it🚩) and tried to build it. But needed to install the dev package it needs to build against. 🚩 It was GTK2. 😳🤯🤬🚩🚩🚩

    Anyone in my circles know much about ms365&#39;s new typescript based scripting in excel? I&#39;m trying to figure out how I can share some common code between a number of different functions. Right now I&#39;m literally copy/paste-ing it around between them when I need to make a change (thankfully rare). But this is typescript, I should be able to put this in a shared resource of some sort and just call it from many places. No obvious way to set that up I can find. :(
