Threatening vibrations out there, stay safe today, friends. On one trip, I saw: A crime scene where someone intentionally drove their car through a cinder block wall into a paint store. This store had someone accidentally drive into it a couple years ago. The whole city blanketed in wildfire smoke. A light rail train stalled on the tracks. A lady swigging from an open wine bottle while driving. A major freeway accident with an overturned car. That's more'n enough Outside for today.

@mcc@mastodon.social I own their one album, but the B sides were always IMO their best material. This is my favorite, "Props Got Mo' Skills." According to the DJ in the 90s who played it the first time I heard it, it's a live recording when they had a bunch of equipment fail, and was improvised on the spot with a mic and turntable. https://propellerheads.bandcamp.com/track/props-got-mo-skills

Greenhouse (the recruiting platform) added an LLM chatbot. The button to open it floats in the lower-left of the window. On the scorecard page, it obscures the text of the candidate's scorecard writeup.

Edit: this uBlock Origin rule eradicates the chat widget:

Rather annoyed to have received a record in this condition after paying the new vinyl big bucks. All three seams of the inner liner split and a corner crushed.

(It was the normal price for new vinyl, I just prefer buying for $1 at garage sales)

@jonschwenn Love RePC, they've been around for ages. They have a second location in Tukwila, each has their own vibe. RePC is IMO way better than Free Geek. RePC has a lot of vintage components, you can walk out with everything you need to build a 386 beige box rig. Free Geek a smattering of higher value stuff, like 80s Macs and CRT monitors, but nothing like the bins of components RePC does.

Doctor's office has a new laminated paper describing how they use an LLM note taker this visit. Ask if I can opt out, and I can. But then get pressed why. And then pressed more because they didn't like my answer, and "it doesn't make diagnostic decisions."

This fucking sucks.

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net Oh boy, I genuinely don't remember. SB Pro was already out by then, and other manufacturers were catching up, so it was on the low end of the market by then. Don't think it could have been more than $120, and may have been as cheap as $80. The card I bought after that one was a Pro AudioSpectrum 16.
