  The child is old enough to complain that her input was not taken into account when we decided on photos for the holiday card, which has already been sent to print. She is in every single photo on the holiday card. 🤷🏾🤦🏾🙎🏾

  The disabling of screenshotting in the MyChart app, and apps in general, is frustrating and annoying. After biometric authentication, who do they think is trying to take a screenshot? Disabling my ability to share my own health information should be its own HIPAA violation if it isn't already.

  Have discovered that there are horrifying for-pay services from findrx/fastermedsolutions and insito/medfinder arbitraging the value of the time to call every single pharmacy up in some given radius to find meds in shortage (Adderall, Ozempic, etc.) They charge per Rx, per month, for every find.

  TL;DR: American management continues to be broken, continuing the Jack Welch focus on short-term profits with a deep-seated antagonism towards strategic long-term investment. Meaningful innovation is doomed unless we change or bypass this investor/management culture. https://www.msn.com/en-us/technology/tech-companies/intel-s-grim-lesson-for-boeing-sometimes-mr-fix-it-is-too-late/ar-AA1wKCWD

  Congress should pass a law demanding that CMS pricing have some sort of MFN status so that pricing for drugs Medicare/Medicaid pays for is the lowest a manufacturer charges globally. Semaglutide monthly pricing is $125 in Denmark but $965 to $1350 in the US. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/01/maker-of-weight-loss-drugs-to-ask-trump-to-pause-price-negotiations-report/

  Made the mistake of taking the suggested update to tvOS 18.2.1 on our AppleTV 4k, which, for the second time in several months, borked Thread Border Router functionality when the AppleTV is connected to Ethernet. Disconnecting Ethernet let's our Thread devices work again. 18.3 Beta is also broken.

  @gfxstrand With vulkan changes for kepler in mesa 25.2, should we be able to hit the ground running in mutter/wayland with NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 set? Or is this too soon? I've got drivers from Mesa 25.2 running via https://launchpad.net/~ernstp/+archive/ubuntu/mesarc and without zink things are up and running on my GK107M, but with NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 I get artifacting over the entire display. (It IS exciting to see OpenGL 4.5 show up when I run `NOUVEAU_USE_ZINK=1 glxinfo -B` though...)
