A not insignificant part of my job is swatting away copilot like a fly buzzing around my head. It now re-enables itself every few hours after toggling off in Outlook for Mac (MS confirmed it’s a known bug). With vibe coding I assume the quality of MS Office products will get even worse!

An old iPhone sits on a 3d printed stand attached to a wooden desk organizer. The iPhone is displaying Apple Home.

A 3d printed iPhone stand sits on its side, with a cutout visible on the bottom. A plate off the original stand is placed next to the 3d printed part, ready to be attached in the cutout.

Finished my HomeKit dash (repurposed iPhone 12 in kiosk mode). Also printed a new stand to fit the grovemade desk organizer (I reused the bottom plate of the original stand, made for an iPhone 4 lol).

An iPhone 12 sits on top of a MacBook charging after having sat in storage for two years. The home screen on the iPhone shows the glorious flatness of iOS 18, fresh from a factory reset.

My god iOS 18 looks so much better than 26. What are we doing apple

Several old Apple iPhones and an original iPad Mini arranged on a desk, along with a keyboard, monitor, and several accessories. Two of the devices are very slowly installing updates.

Today’s project is resurrecting an old phone/ipad to use as a homekit dash (in kiosk mode). May the best device (with the least spiciest pillow battery) win!

Eh you’re right, Riker is probably a Fedora guy

We've had a PHEV for almost two years. It made sense back then, now we'd get an EV no question. If it gets people to the other side, fine.

BUT I rarely exceed 30mi daily and charge every night. I only refuel before the occasional long road trip. I just think of it as an extremely limited EV.

the smell of burning dust and gels melting on the barndoors are my art school core memories

I emailed their support and asked them to disable all AI features on my account about a year ago after encountering something like this, and the previous functionality was restored. Now I’m living in blissful ignorance.

“it's just random neurons firing off as they die” oof that is a chef’s kiss description of this term

A golden lab dog looks down a long sidewalk with clouds in the sky lit by sunset.

A wide view of the sky filled with clouds lit by sunset.

A pup named Stewart is almost comically out of focus extremely close to the camera as he goes in for a boop. The sky filled with clouds at sunset is visible in the background, more or less in focus.

A wide angle view of the sky just past sunset. Warm colored clouds fill the sky with some clear, cooler colored stary bits poking through

Some cool skies tonight in Tucson

At this point, they could offer pre-iOS 26 Maps as a premium app and I would pay for it. Liquid glass made Maps borderline unusable on my iPhone 13.

I’m just here for the ratio, but seriously bad post, OP.

I'm so excited to see the front porch erection

+1 for 2004 tech, I have M-Audio Studiophiles that have been my daily speakers for 22 years. Those Regas look great.

Thanks! Sadly no, the connector needs a crimping tool which I don’t have. For kicks I soldered the four wires directly to the traces and it worked! That said there’s no way I can fit it back in the housing so I’m just going to bypass the sensor for this humidifier. Cool to know it worked tho :)

A small PCB with a humidity sensor held up next to a power cord of a humidifier. The power cord has wires that should be going to the PCB, but have come detached from their leads and connector.

Was expecting cold solder joints on this failed humidistat but it was straight up ripped from the wires (+ cold joints). Cool! Unsure how to proceed, the connector leads seem super finicky. Maybe I'll solder the wires directly to PCB? Obviously my first time attempting anything like this. :P

Beautiful!

You can always hold it up to your windows pc in a threatening manner when it misbehaves. Intimidation check!

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

today sure feels like one of the all time ‘so i still just gotta go and do my little job during all this?!’ moments

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

He is risen

Nice find- I had ViewSonic and Samsung 19” 1600x1200 screens back in the early 00’s and they each weighed like 40 pounds - couldn’t get rid of them fast enough when Dell came out with the 2001fp lcd (25ms latency was considered good). Different times :P

A chonky black cat on a modern black leather chair backlit by bright sun. The cat is laying next to a coffee cup cat toy and a ribbon.

*laughs in flat butt* The hubris of assuming guys will have butts/wastes to prevent falling… yesh a drawstring ain’t cutting it.

I’m a recruiter and I always want to see cats, both pictures and in the actual video calls. Please let me see the cats, I need to see the cats. Dogs are cool too.

Which Adesso, if you don’t mind me asking? I have a split Kinesis that I’ve enjoyed using but is on its way out after 5 years.. starting to think about a replacement.

Pretty sure those suggestions are all late 90’s search engines (complimentary)

I know it'd be AI if it's something sensible instead of an endless list of files titled project_final_v3_test_finalforreal3_backup.psd

A pair of socks with a CRT phosphor pattern placed on top of a black cat laying on a couch. A yellow lab dog is investigating the sock/cat combination, but pauses for a Big Stretch.

Order of operations when receiving @techconnectify.bsky.social socks: unpack, immediately place on cat, allow the dog to admire following a big stretch
