Holy crap @amybrown.xyz I just remembered you're like, 10ft tall.

I need for #Spotify to add a "nope, this isn't it" type "recalculate" button for my Daylist.

Sometimes it's spot on, but other times it's a complete miss.

Downloaded Sora and ... it's kinda stupid?

Someone needs to revive Celebrity Deathmatch.

Now we can count down until Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving. It is the last pure holiday - uncorrupted by greed, consumerism, or guilt. It exists solely for the purpose of taking a day to break bread with those you love and be thankful for the things you already have in your life.

I bought a few of these on sale, but the sleeves are too ... loose. They look puffy when I put the short-sleeved t-shirt over them.

Need some help.

I have cool t-shirts. I like to wear them in the winter, but it's cold, and I'm a 90s kid, so I wear long-sleeve t-shirts underneath.

It's hard to find good long-sleeve t-shirts for this. They need to be a bit more form-fitting, still cotton, and no sleeve cuffs. HELP!

Nvidia takes $1 billion stake in Nokia, sending the 5G equipment maker's shares up 26% Nokia is best known for its early cell phones, but in recent years has primarily been a supplier of 5G cellular equipment to telecom providers.

Yes yes, I *know* this has nothing to do with smartphones, but hang with me for a second - how BADASS would a Nokia with AI and NVIDIA be? Like, GTFO.

Sometimes people ask why I moved from Texas to North Carolina.

There were lots of reasons, but this map is a pretty good visual explanation.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Also, while you're here, I read your book, as well, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for writing it and sharing.

If you're curious about how this turns out, there's a fantastic movie called "Her" that you should watch.

Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it Copilot Voice and Vision are now rolling out.

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Make sure you read the full series - it's incredible. A hard read at times, but really awesome.

At one point, we had 4 Taylors at Balcom, two of which initials were "TP". It was rough.

We ended up just calling them by their last names.

So, hey Brown, what's crackin'?

That's unfortunate. Which was the closest?

The key feature that I need is the ability to swipe up/down on an icon to open a different app.

Qualcomm is acquiring DIY electronics platform Arduino Arduino’s under new ownership.

This is crazy, and kind of awesome for the community.

I was part of the team that launched Arduino boards at RadioShack - it was a big deal back then to be able to walk into a brick-and-mortar and pick one up.

Cool to see the community continuing to grow.

About 15 years ago, when I was a tech blogger, I got a free Boingo WiFi account.

It still works. Amazing.

My 14yo attempted to start a GIF war with me.

Big mistake.

Evergreen content. (And we're getting closer!)

I'm in NYC for Advertising Week and man, I'll never understand "fashion" lol

I miss #tripku's

While *technically* you didn't spend any money on *ads*, you still spent money on advertising.

Feels like the kind of response you would get from someone who posts on LinkedIn talking about how they built a $20M business without spending a penny on advertising, only to dig in to read that they hired a bunch of influencers and seeded tens of thousands of $$ of product.

I don't think the volume of the market is buying $60-120 games though. For the bulk of the market, paying ~$10-15/month was fine for the selection and ability to just jump on and find something to play.

But $30 is going to price a large majority of those folks out.

Pela case for the Galaxy S25

Saw that Pela was doing a BOGO offer, so I figured why not?

Then I remembered. WTF is this lazy and fugly camera cutout on their Galaxy S25 case?

Yeah I'm paid up through May 2026 from doing the prepaid card trick but not sure what I'll do beyond that.

Historically, I could get it down to around $7-8/month buying prepaid cards, but doubtful that'll continue.

Hoping by May they realise how stupid this is and back off.

Ah, October.

The month you have to suffer through to get to Thanksgiving. 🦃

Conversation with an AI bot asking for a 2:1 aspect ratio image, and the AI gives a 1:1 ratio result.

AI is still remarkably stupid sometimes.

I wish it wasn't so ... bulbous. These speakers should disappear in my room, not stand out.
