@DanHollaway Dad life is best life, without question.

Bear.

Software QA on your own stuff at home is significantly less elegant than a lab in Sunnyvale, as it turns out.

finally got around to releasing a script I’ve been working on for over 15 years. you can follow its account @makedriveapp and check out the thing at makedrive.com

@TechnovityTech I see it

Testing.... if you do see this tweet, don't leave a like, instead leave a comment because my account randomly got heavily shadow banned. None of my tweets are showing up on your post and my post are going unavailable 😭

I met Ron Johnson while working the Macworld 2007 show floor, and completely understand why Steve wanted him for retail. I also understand, now, why he didn't succeed at JCP. And that's not actually a negative. wwd.com/business-news/…

@hardafseltzer life finds a way

How life starts to feel after an ice cold peach seltzer on the patio.

@Coobyk_ @TechnovityTech Pretty sure it was something about the heat wave

@MrMacGenie @TechnovityTech The previous post says it’s unavailable what was it?

Heatwave so bad I have to shower at 1 AM cuz it finally gets cold enough where I don’t sweat after showering RIP sleep schedule

@TechnovityTech @Coobyk_ It’s been around 43-45C over here. Hate going outside.

@Coobyk_ First time? 🤓 Used to happened to me all the time 😭

Guess I waited too long to upgrade my bedroom Apple TV. Yikes.

Guess I stocked up on kit at the right time

@Shivam25mishra I have a 14” M4 Pro MBP 48GB/4TB that’s now mostly desk bound because my MacBook Neo 512GB is smaller, lighter, and for most work, works great. If I need horsepower, I remote to that or my M4 Mini server.

Why do MacBooks feel premium even with fewer specs on paper?

@ozzyocak as in registrars?

never move your domain

@jrfarr @stripe Loving what you do and what you make is the best. While I’m supremely low volume, I couldn’t imagine using anything other than Stripe. And with Treasury, I no longer need my second “online” business checking. That 2% cash back is ❤️.

At my desk, at the office, or on a flight I can’t help but care to talk to people about making @stripe better If you’re building on Stripe, what can do better?

@TechnovityTech If I flew for work on the regular (a man can dream), I’d consider AirPods Max or a Vision Pro for long flights, but for now the AirPods Pro are the best overall price size performance calculation, for my use anyway.

I was soo close of buying an AirPods Max 2 since it was on deal which is shocking price to me, not until I discovered that this thing does not come with Water Resistant, Precision Finding and Hearing Aids feature 😭 Which makes AirPods Pro 3rd Gen 10x better than this garbage 🫩

@dosdude1 Wonder if this was used in manufacturing or prototyping? It was not used for service, and after they got rid of the 20/23/30 taco shell displays, the Teleplan depot never got new models to service. Mac depots got FPGA port test hardware but i’ve never seen that kit

Extremely odd Apple device. Housed in a repurposed ADC to DVI adapter case, the “K59 Turtle Board” appears to be a standalone FPGA-based DisplayPort monitor tester. It appears to have support for testing audio too, but I don’t have a monitor capable of that.

A beautiful morning with the horses

I can only imagine my feelings about natural language conversation with Claude Code are similar to what programmers felt when they saw compilers do their work for them. I've seen the memes, but the feels are real.

@TechnovityTech Alan Dye would be proud

Chinese brands will do anything but not come up with their own original ideas 💔🥀 Honor calls this "iOS 26 Liquid Glass" in MagicOS 11

Seeing Claude say "I have a bug in the variable-reading section of the for loop. Let me fix it" is an absolute trip, especially at 0300
