was trying to figure out how my new battery charged from 52 to 92 in a few seconds before realizing the 7-segment-digit display was upside down

No, Google's search AI, I don't think that's right…

TIL that a groundhog and a woodchuck are two names for the same species.

How much ground could a ground hog hog if a ground hog could hog ground?

(if you listened to the latest @thisamericanlife.org, the answer is at least a garden!)

Didn't get the coin but the real fun was the puzzles we solved along the way. What an amazing time! Some truly impressive showings (puzzles and solvers) #MITMH2025

Making your own (or tweaking existing) loot filter for Path of Exile 2 is surprisingly rewarding.

Especially so thanks to a powerful language server!!

Can spot mistakes, see/change colors, catch too-generic rules, preview sounds and map icons is SO NICE!

Despite having not interacted, followed, or engaged, my @bsky.app Discover feed regularly contains... I don't even want to mention as it might feed the algo a hint I want to see more.

I'll just say I double checked and still have this content disabled...

One feature I love of the Nest Hub Max smart display I have in my kitchen is gesture controls. Being able to hold a palm up ✋🏻 to pause/resume music or video is SO NICE!

I find myself wishing I could do the same with the living room and bedroom TVs, even with a remote nearby

does require cam tho 🙈

Continuing to be a huge fan of Jujutsu. Going back to just git feels like an artificial handicap. If you're not at least trying some of these newer tools, you're missing out!

The Bluesky community seems to love and embrace Starter Packs, Labelers, and Moderation Lists.

But there seems to be no way to search for / find / discover them.

What am I missing?

Surprisingly prescient

"If you had two knives, one dull and one sharp, would it not make better sense to make them equal by sharpening the dull one - not by blunting the sharp one?

Computer generated creatures don't get their feelings hurt […] Players do."

Mud wimping nerfing or by any other name is an insidious practice that destroys moralle and ruins games. Whimping players is with very few exceptions stupidity personified. This page shows the reasons...

Apple Intelligence summaries seem to not understand that "Elad" is me, and so a lot of my summaries discuss "Elad" as a third party, which feels a bit weird.

First impression of 🦋 Bluesky: lots of folks posting to share and connect, rather than bait engagement (or worse). Refreshing.
