Melt Mouse: 3-in-1 mouse, trackpad, and shortcut pad "The Melt Mouse Is A More Functional Version Of Apple’s Magic Mouse" - Forbes

The Melt Mouse is what Apple's Magic Mouse should have been updated to years ago. I use the Magic Trackpad so this isn't something I'd buy. But if any of you are still punishing yourself by using a Magic Mouse...this looks interesting!

We are living in the stupidest, and cruelest, of times. It's mind-bogglingly cruel to demand the funds be revoked or cancelled.

YouTube video by HTX Studio Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

There are so many battery myths and things that people cling to as being true. This YouTube video dispels them all: fast charging doesn't hurt your battery. Just charge when you need to and stop worrying about it.

My life goal is to create a future for myself where I can be as chill as my dog Moka. 😌

Google's AI is simultaneously impressive (I use Gemini often) and incredibly dumb: the first search result is about Tumella, while their AI says there is no company called Tumella. 🤦‍♂

Shottr – screenshot app for pixel professionals Shottr is a free macOS screenshot app with scrolling screenshots, OCR, annotation and measurement instruments.

If you are not using Shottr for macOS, you are missing out. It's fantastic as a screenshot tool; fast, beautiful, and well-designed. Oh, and free. Though if you want to support great software like this, pay the $12. 🙌

We wore out the touch-sensitive buttons to the point where some games were unplayable.

There's part of me that desperately wants to order this, then there's the rational part of me that knows I won't actually use it. 😩 🤣

After the Atari 2600, but before the SNES, there was THE INTELLIVISION!

I have such fond memories of this gaming platform; my uncle had one and whenever we'd go to my grandma's house all my cousin and I would spend hours on this.

Wondering what people are doing with their Windows 10 computers now that the OS is end-of-life? Here's one example a friend shared with me, seen on the streets of Paris, France. 🤣

Also, we still have the penny here, which costs nearly four cents to make and distribute. 🤦‍♂️

Idiocracy was a documentary. 😢

Cotton blocks Trump-backed effort to make daylight saving time permanent A bipartisan group of lawmakers sought unanimous consent approval for a bill that would stop the changing of the clocks.

Reason #238 why we can't have nice things: in the USA, we can't even agree that changing our clocks twice a year is dumb. There's always some politician, in this case Tom Cotton, who sabotages it.

The FCC just gave itself the power to make a DJI drone ban stick Retroactive bans are coming for Chinese companies.

As a fan of DJI drones, this is a huge downer. 😔

It's ridiculous that the government can both implement a ban soon *and* not engage in a review that would allow DJI to ship products to the USA.

What would happen to the world if all the species of birds were wiped out? Bauan Ismail's answer: Ask Mao Zedong – he knows best. During his crazy reign in the ‘60s & ‘70s, he had some brilliant ideas. In addition to erasing Chinese culture & to sacrificing big chunks of t...

As a species, humans don't think about unintended consequences very much. This is a good example of why it's important to do so:

I 💚 that a passionate fan created an entire web site dedicated to getting all seasons of Halt released: haltonbluray.com#home

I was excited to finally get #HaltandCatchFire season one on Blu-ray. It's honestly *the* most underrated TV series ever and deserves much more praise than it received.

It's utterly bizarre to me that @amcplus.com won't release seasons two and onward on Blu-ray. They stopped at season one. 😵‍💫

Today I started reading a PDF book on #procrastination. I got the book in 2011. So at least I'm being consistent, right? 😂

...people started using WiFi proxy software, or traveling with WiFi routers, to get around this.

🛜 I'm glad it's been commoditized and now expected, like water or electricity.

#HotelWiFi

It's funny for me to see a hotel specify a WiFi device limit; 100 is basically unlimited, so why display a limit at all? 🤨

I recall when hotel WiFi was a new thing; if you were lucky you'd get one device for free and have to pay for every other device...

"The average total cost of repair (TCOR) has increased by 96.4% since 2009—from $2,405 to over $4,720 in 2024. Nearly half of that increase occurred in just the past five years." - Kyle Krumlauf

Watch Countdown - Season 1 | Prime Video When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions.

...until I read the headlines about it being cancelled. I watched season one and it's a solid show! Really a shame it wasn't renewed, there was a huge cliffhanger! 🫤

We live in a peak-streaming-era, and there's so much content we don't always notice it until it's gone. I'm a big Jensen Ackles fan from his #Supernatural days, but I didn't realize he was starring in a new series called #Countdown on Amazon Prime Video...

...but I got bored of it very quickly from a consumption perspective (I didn't make any videos).

I'm not the target demographic for this, but I do wonder it the popularity of it will remain over time... 🤔

#Sora #AIslop

I got access to #Sora a few days ago and meh. 🤷‍♂ It's basically a firehose of #AIslop. It's *personalized* slop, and because we're all egotistical to varying degrees, the navel-gazing appeal of it is understandable...

Watch John Candy: I Like Me | Prime Video From director Colin Hanks and producer Ryan Reynolds comes John Candy: I Like Me. Those who knew John best share his story, in their own words, through never-before-seen archival footage, imagery, and interviews. It's a documentary of the life, career, and loss of one of the most beloved actors of all time.

What's a great way to start a day off work? Watching a wonderful documentary (free on Prime Video) about the incomparable #JonCandy:

The Seattle airport needs about 20x more no idling signs. I'd love to see tickets being handed out. This is insane. It's a balmy day, neither cold nor hot.

You have to be a special kind of planet-hating person to sit in a cell phone parking lot at the airport with your engine idling the entire time. The car next to me has been idling for 25 minutes. 😲

The next two decades are going to be very challenging as China grapples with the impact of their choices from the '70s.

China’s demographic crisis means it’s going to run out of workers China is experiencing unprecedented, and probably irreversible, population decline that will hamper its economic growth and its ambitions to rival the United States.

I find stories about demographics strangely fascinating, especially when they involve government involvement in the reproductive choices of its citizens as they have in China.

Medication advertising in the USA is hilarious sometimes...look at this ad. It has zero information about what health issue the drug is used for! This may be peak drug company hubris: "Just ask your doctor about our drug, maybe they'll find a symptom that matches?". 😂
