ACCESSORY NOT SUPPORTED?! WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT

An iPhone 15 plugged into an iPod Hifi through a series of adapters and cables. On screen is an alert: "Accessory not supported"
sam henri gold

Ah. It seems the hi-fi is internally powered by FireWire and they dropped firewire accessory support back with the 3G. So I'm gonna have to find a 30 pin adapter that converts the firewire 12V to USB's 5V, then into the 30 pin to lightning, THEN lightning into USB-C.

Standby.

@samhenrigold I’m enjoying this modern day reboot of ‘will it blend’

i’m sure Framer is a great product but i didn't just spend the last three years learning web development to continue paying some company through the nose for the privilege of using a no-code website maker

if you ever want to make the CEO of a social network squirm, tell them the fucking clock app is overtaking them in engagement youtu.be/hYymRU-bfpQ

brown leather pants is a hell of a choice

@samhenrigold 3 mins in ... what a weird dynamic in that video 🫢 um is she.. high?

Alexander Dyas

@samhenrigold An exercise in evasion. This is like watching a scene from Succession, toe curling. This is someone who cannot see past growth and dollars to the societal and cultural impact of the platform. In that sense she is exactly what Musk wants.

‼️ THEY FIXED HIGHLIGHTER BLEND MODES IN 17.1 (FB12223205)

This has been bugging me for years, the highlighter tool would just overlay a stroke at 50% opacity or whatever and would muddy the text underneath. It looks like they fixed this in 17.1 (images 2 and 3)

iOS 16 highlighted text. Yellow stroke over black-on-white text, the stroke turned text a dark yellow color. Compared to the same stroke done in Pixelmator with a multiply blend mode, it looks closer to what a physical highlighter would do — yellow background while text remains black
A rough demo of 17.1 with black-on-white text
highlighted White on black text. The text becomes yellow and the background is a softer yellow

@samhenrigold Oh man this is huge. I wonder if my Radar will be closed!! Did they close yours?!

@samhenrigold I bet I can guess what your Apple Music autoplay song is from one of these screenshots.

friends, get that new covid booster asap. idk what strain i'm dealing with right now but it's fucking terrible. you do not want this.

Good morning. I am here to say that LG’s “HDR” mode on LCD panels is a giant fraud. It doesn’t do anything except turn off the backlight when the entire screen is pure black. Don’t give into the lies of BIG TV.

9 outta 10 times I'd rather just read your prompt than whatever is produced by an LLM. The input is probably terse and contains just enough context to understand what I need to. Making someone read three paragraphs of flowery, vapid prose isn't respectful of their time.

Trevor Kay

@samhenrigold ChatGPT now has a setting to guide its responses. I tell it there to be concise and get much more to the point answers

“Do not be wordy. Direct and to the point. Do explain your rational though, why I should use what you tell me”

Dane Peterson

@samhenrigold I generate my florid prolix emails all on my own, thank you very much!

And then edit and whittle them down. 😕

@samhenrigold Amazing what technology can achieve these days. 😆

DELETED

@samhenrigold

Just so you're aware, this guy is the GOAT and where the bar is set.

Multiple adapters allowed someone to plug a USB drive into a parallel port. There is no way this will work.

I saw that function once.

It was in an ancient process scheduler. Its revision history hadn't changed since well before Y2K.

They say the dev who wrote it was never the same after, and no-one else dared touch the code.

I read no further and quickly closed the file. When I finally found the courage to reopen it, the function was gone. But now and then I seem to see it, fleeting, in the type-ahead. Haunting me.

if it were me, I would’ve put an AirTag in that fighter jet. problem solved.
