Hi! I'm currently working in IT and geek out about #Apple, #telecom, media and pop-culture, #woso (#NWSL: #RacingLouisvilleFC and #SeattleReignFC; #SalmonBayFC; #USWNT), and other things I’m probably forgetting at the moment.

I run SchwarzTech (https://schwarztech.net), its new companion podcast Magical & Revolutionary (https://magicalandrevolutionary.com), as well as The Chaos League (https://thechaosleague.com)

Just dropped episode two of Magical & Revolutionary, where I’m joined by @dmoren@zeppelin.flights (I think I covered all the various media outlets he works on and then some!) https://schwarztech.net/podcast/2-dan-moren

Additionally, I was trying to come up with an idea for a simple, one-off landing page for the new podcast and I think it's a nice mix of retro inspiration, playing nice on mobile, and using Apple's spiffy web player (I'm really trying to avoid managing *another* CMS): https://magicalandrevolutionary.com/

I’m really excited to share the first episode of my new podcast, Magical & Revolutionary. In this one, I’m joined by @ismh86@eworld.social:

@ismh86@eworld.social I hadn’t seen it in awhile, so I thought it might have gone away, but I’m thrilled to hear it’s hanging around still (have been busy/lazy and haven’t updated to 26.4.2 yet)

@kalleboo Thanks! Seeing the actual computer, I vaguely remember coming across that (the 5.25” drives were unlike what almost everyone else was doing.)

@kalleboo Awesome! I need to get around to doing that with my original ImageWriter. Is that a custom case for the Pi? It looks like a perfect late-‘80s/early-‘90s tech device (like the old external Jet Direct boxes.)

@jedda@social.lol Welcome back! (I was a little busy yesterday so I’m just now catching up on the post, but it’s really nice to have you writing on your blog again.) 🫂

Finally got around to setting up an external PRAM battery for my SE using Remote Battery 1 by @RonsCompVids@bitbang.social (cables connected to the old soldered-in battery leads on the logic board.) So far it seems to be keeping time when unplugged. 🤞🏻

I bought it awhile back from @MuseumJoe@oldbytes.space…Oh, and there’s a #BlueSCSI in the expansion slot with a 3D printed panel, too!

@dougwade@mastodon.xyz I think this probably played a role: https://mastodon.xyz/@dougwade/116265161152408707

@morrick Not disagreeing at all, but I'm guessing that the Panasonic branding being de-emphasized on some models/accessories doesn't help? Also for what it's worth, your posts have inspired me to dust off my old cameras: Canon PowerShot A520 Olympus FE-5010 Panasonic ☺️ Lumix GF3 (still gets some use, but my phone tends to get the most since it's always on me.)

I wrote a little bit about how AI (and by extension LLMs) have their place, but almost no one is cautious or looking at bigger motives: https://schwarztech.net/articles/leave-me-behind
