Now that I got my laser eye surgery done ... I can happily buy more (sun)glasses now 😂

Given the same color temperature settings, the light on the left shows a correctly warmish yellow while the light on the right is having its own idea and shows much whiter light.

tfw you turn on HomeKit Adaptive Lighting only to realize one of your lights is not like others 😅

Note to myself: just don’t buy anything open box from BestBuy for anything with activation lock. It’s not worth it. 🥶

Welp Pillpack can't ship orders early anymore. They used to be awesome and now enshittified once integrated with Amazon Pharmacy. Time to find another provider I guess.

RE: https://social.itsze.ro/@zero/115686350355514710and finally climbed out of this 4G network rabbit hole, learned way much more than I need to know about how 4G core network works 😅 https://itsze.ro/posts/home-lte-with-open5gs

Switching from magma to Open5GS for my home LTE core network and now my devices are no longer routed to the internet ... 🤔

Another Passkey-adjacent thingy: I've also used my Taiwanese National Digital ID Card to sign a referendum petition recently. The Digital ID platform also actually support Passkey for mobile use cases. (You will use the NFC-capable card to verify yourself for the first time then MOICA will sign a P…

Really love that Passkey is starting to gain support in Taiwanese banks! It used to be a pain if I want to use a Taiwanese credit cards since I'll need to use my Taiwanese number to get a SMS code for 3D Secure but now I can just use Passkeys to verify myself!

I remember hearing this song from one of the English learning magazine back in school ... still love it and still relevant today 😅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEe3hBXZEyI

BIG NEWS!! I HAVE FINALLY DEPLETED 144 COUNT OF CLEANING RAG I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON 7 YEARS AGO.This is likely the biggest achievement of my life. I'm proud of myself. 😍

I got my commercial pilot license! (Shared it on Threads a few days ago but forget to share it here 😅)

Runner up for this year’s worst Taiwan take.

I've been recently very into NixOS for some reason 🫣 IIRC trying it out two years ago was pretty painful but now it seems declarative configuration gets me pretty far.

Your Own LTE Network at Home Do you know that you can actually run your own LTE network at home? In the US, there’s a CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) band that is designed to be shared which correspond to LTE band 48.

Wrote about my own setup experience here: itsze.ro/posts/your-o...

fast.com test result with my own LTE network (DL 170 / UL 14)

ZeroNet eSIM is being setup on Pixel 6

This is crazy. I did not realize you can actually setup your own LTE network!!! Even with eSIM :Dref: lantian.pub/en/article/modify-comput...

I really want to switch to Apple Music:- Spatial Audio is amazing- Lyrics db is much larger than Spotify (even has it for a lot of Taiwanese language songs too)but the Linux support is so bad :( The only option is browser with no offline support ... 😥

Also loves that Caltrain’s new electric trains looks exactly like SBB commuter trains 😍

Okay I know I’m weird but I love that Zürich tram’s stop announcement sounds exactly like SF Muni’s outbound train tone 😍 (although I love the inbound womp-womp tone more lol)

Blender is so cool. I didn't realize how mature it is already as a video-editing software + its python scripting capability is 😘

The official DeX mode is finally enabled on Android 16!

Looks like Switch 2 still does NOT support USB-C DP Alt mode — you'd still need to carry a dock with you for TV output :(

Wrote a python script/lib for automating exporting Foreflight logbook: https://tangled.sh/@itsze.ro/foreflight-logbook-exportI used it myself in my Jupyter notebook so I can produce my flight map (and also as a logbook backup as well 😅).

https://fly.io/blog/youre-all-nuts/yeah I guess I'm nuts but I also don't get the point of this post except for making me consider moving away from fly.io.

Em dashes are great y'all. — Zero, a robot.

TIL if you give T-mobile your IMEI number, they can actually just push a eSIM to your phone (pending confirmation in Settings app)

Nintendo Store SF has opened!

Finished #Expedition33!Wasn't sure if I would liked the game when I saw the trailer but it turned out great. The story was packed, thrilling and the twist is full of surprises despite constantly giving out little pieces of info. I love the darker tone of the story and ending as it deals with comple…

I've been noticing this showing up a lot recently: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubisIs there a recent movement to block AI crawlers or something?

uhhh apparently in gnome, if you turn on HDR, your cursor just lost color and become dark gray?? (I guess the tone mapping is not done right but still lol)

That sounds like an incredibly bad move. Why don't we push for allowing every manufacturer to direct sell their cars to customers?electrek.co/2025/04/28/ny-lawmakers-... do not like Elon Musk but I do drive a 2018 Model 3 and still like the car, so there's that.)
