honestly the world would’ve been so much better if we got really fast teletype printers that could create the illusion of moving graphics instead of video terminals.

@samhenrigold After spending time with friends who kept pawing through TikTok videos I gotta agree

i was cleaning out my desk while packing for a move. i forget what i meant to do with these.

Two thumbnail sheets of paintings. They’re all…unusual. Among them is Wendy Williams eating a pork chop and some rat erotica.

This is the best feature Apple ever made. This. Right here. Being together. We’re all together because of our love for technology, design, and craft. And that’s really cool.

Totally kidding, iTunes Radio was the best feature, you know it and I know it

A loose collection of things I’m over:
- SF Rounded
- Band names that replace letters with “V”
- Harold Square
- Tomatoes in any form except sauce
- HTML tags in Markdown
- uhhhhhhhhhhhh hold on lemme think of something else

@samhenrigold you've clearly never had an orange cherry tomato at peak season

anyone know a method or utility to quickly check all of my cables to see which ones are USB 3? i’ve got a whole box of cables but I have no idea which ones are fast and which are mostly charging cables

@samhenrigold e.g if you connect a USB 3 device using a shit USB 2 cable then it’ll say the max speed is 480mbps

@samhenrigold another quick way for checking USB C cables is to look at the inside of the connector and check how many pins are actually present.
almost all my charging-only cables do not have the differential pins present, and some don't even provide the same amount of pins on both sides.

@samhenrigold I saw a recent YouTuber mention this hardware device "C2C CABERQU" which seems to do what you want? I have not tried it yet, but he was using it in the video I watched to identify USB-C cable speeds.

Here is the YouTube video I referenced, the guy mentions/shows it briefly at 6:07: youtu.be/XuofqeRbBfY?si=o_1nRB

having intrusive thoughts about using a Power Mac as a side table

sam henri gold

never mind, this is inhumane. they should be in the wild. it’s so sad to see them in captivity. this enclosure is too small for them. see how the bottom expansion slot is uncovered? that means it’s stressed.

two power mac G5s next to each other with a sheet of glass laid on top of them to serve as a side table.

shoutout to cranberries for being the only fruit I know of that requires farmers to stand in pools of water with a rake. 10/10

When did AI learn to generate legible text? 😱

tried to swizzle UIColor but man it snowballs very quickly from “I'll just scoot the hue over a lil bit to make it pretty” to `assert(Bundle(path: "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework")!.load())`

a shitty amazon mockup of a flag/banner over a sofa in a living room. the flag is kermit throwing up in a toilet with a pink cowboy hat. another kermit in a pink cowboy hat is hitting a vape on the other edge of the flag. pink text reads “bad bitches only”

@samhenrigold Text on flags offends me from a vexillology standpoint. (Except for California's flag, that one is ok)

meta is doing great thanks for asking

Generated sticker detail sheet from Instagram. “Pregnant karl marx” generated by AI. The sticker shows a white man in a powdered wig, sitting on a park bench with a pregnant belly smoking a cigarette
sam henri gold

i hate to give them praise but it really took the prompt and ran with it

generated result for the phrase “shrek bosom”. as you would imagine, it returned shrek with some big ol honkers in a purple top and pink lipstick. he looks coy like the :/ emoticon; shrugging like a millennial bear’s “uh oh awkward sauce!” grindr photo.

preemptively upset at myself for buying the vision pro. i know i’m gonna buy it and i’ve accepted that loss but man this eames chair money. that sucks.

people were really playing with fire sticking their phones — bundles of metal and batteries — in the microwave for the test alert yesterday.

i know they didn’t turn the microwaves on but why even make a situation where you can cause a fire and fry your phone with a single button press.

FEMA and the FCC will test a nationwide emergency alert on Wednesday, October 4, sending a message to every mobile phone across the country at 2:20 p.m. ET. But conspiracy theorists on TikTok and Twitter are convinced there's something more nefarious behind the plan. In fact, they insist the nationwide test will activate something within the covid-19 vaccines that could turn people into walking zombies.
GK

@samhenrigold I just don’t understand. If somebody can ‘activate’ you via a push message for your phone, he can do the same anytime without displaying you an alert and preannouncing it.

i will judge you if you do *not* deadname twitter. “x, formerly known as twitter” don’t enable him

Mike Beasley

@samhenrigold i’m only calling it twitter, i won’t even use the new name in regular conversation because nobody knows what that even is
