Across a Broken Quiet

New 9U5P track released today. This one features my good friend and long-time drummer, Dan Griffin, on it. open.spotify.com/track/0tZ5LA... #postrock #post-rock #music

Awesome. I was just about to check in with you on it. Fixes should now be much quicker than this one took. We're shifting to a monthly cadence internally where 18.0-18.3 were transitionary. Thanks for hanging in there!

Of course!

Kind of strange -- does the Paramount+ really not have play/pause buttons? Not seeing them in a desktop browser or the Windows Paramount+ app.

Thanks, Dirk. Team is looking at it.

Considering moving from Comcast to YouTube TV. I suspect it's not going to be easy to figure out all up pricing given bundles in play, etc.

Yep, screencast is clear. Send me the link to the ticket when you get a chance and I'll follow up.

This option is really nice as I had already pressed that button unintentionally a few times. "Hard" seems to be the right setting for me.

Just set up the new Logitech MX Master 4 mouse. I've loved this line of mice for years. The new "Actions Ring" and haptic feedback may be a bit of a stretch to me, but we'll see. Nice though that it has an additional button than previous models. www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p...

Last week's game justifies the longer break.

I'm curious to see how often I end up having conversations instead of listening to a podcast on drives and walks now.

Finally tried a voice conversation with ChatGPT on my drive to the office. Asked about reinforcement learning and ended up with a great chat that gave me a much clearer picture of it and related areas. Really pretty amazing. It really felt like just having someone sitting next to me.

I not only used the negative angle, but I also used the tall legs on it which accentuated that angle. :)

I'm going to switch back to it for a couple days and see where I'm at. Given how long shipping takes for Keychron, I'd still beat them. Plus I also have a bunch of keycaps I could throw in. :)

Minor but I do keep find myself placing my hands on the wrong keys. The angle of the keys is okay, but my wrists end up being less comfortable from being lower than the keys. To the point that I do *feel* some mild soreness but nowhere near as bad as when I use a standard keyboard.

Btw, @chuckguy55.bsky.social, now that the novelty has officially worn off, I have started to have thoughts about going back to my old Logitech K860. How are you holding up?

I wish Word supported Markdown. I'd love to have all of the collaboration and review support Word has but on Markdown files. I've heard there are extensions but that feels like a non-starter given how I'd mostly want it for collaboration with others.

The startup time on the new Visual Studio 2026 preview is really impressive. Even for a very large 100+ project solution, it opens in just a few seconds.
