I’ve worked with powershell for far too long. I was working on a python script and had to search to see what their version of a ‘-notcontains’ operator is.
It struck me that Powershell is so weird and my brain has been tricked by Microsoft into thinking it’s normal.
It’s ‘not in’ btw

You can make ice with your voice? Just what I’ve always wanted..?
60 lbs of ice a day!
RGB lighting!
For the low low price of $500
I hate that I kind of like it
I do not have space for this in my apartment or my budget

I would like to file a personal complaint against whoever made infinite scroll blogs that go to a new article and change the link if you scroll too far. Sometimes, I see something I want to share and have accidentally triggered this "feature" and share the wrong link

This year’s CES has been really fun! I feel like there’s been some real innovation among the mountains of AI slop. Robot vacuums are really having a moment. Some cool innovation in displays. Also some wild stuff like the taint stimulating unit and uncanny valley humanoid robots. Overall 10/10

I’m not usually a person who preorders stuff, but I got really excited about Index when it was announced and preordered it. I often try to use Siri or pull out my phone to take notes when I’m on the go, but it’s clunky and takes me out of the moment 1/2

You can speak into the Pebble Index to have it remember things or set reminders, timers, and tasks. No cloud processing, no subscription, and best of all, no charging.
