@jdcguy Don’t beat yourself up, you’re probably responsible for getting rid of these

@macjshiggins I once had somebody board standby after me on a UA B737. Elbow on my controls; pointed this out. Apologies were made, I said "don't worry, United doesn't know how to design plane interiors" Offered a tour of Willis Tower. Business card, globe logo. "Cabin Systems Engineer"

I would like to wish everyone involved in the development of the United B737-700 infotainment system a bad day.

@olearycrew Flashing that screen on 100 times a flight should be a FAA & FCC violation

@macjshiggins Yes. Always.

@FaultedBeing at least turning it off requires five minutes and a hundred button presses

@macjshiggins You mean you want to be able to rest your arm and not change the channel, turn off/on the tv, or change its brightness at the same time? Preposterous

@pkuhar @DanielleFong This is beautiful

How do you know your agent is still running after you close the lid? I became a bit obsessed with putting some RGB LEDs for a status indicator into the SD Card slot on my MacBook Pro. I never use that slot, so it's a perfect place.

I really should be in Ukraine

@mov_axbx This only starts happening when I’m inactive. I’m not a conspiracy theory guy, but I think the incentives are tough to ignore.

@macjshiggins I block several a day now, idk why X isn’t using AI to identify and ban I’m sure there’s some reason it’s harder than it looks but I could train that classifier in an afternoon

whenever I leave this site for a week they start throwing hail mary thot bots at me

@ThreatT0Society Check wireshark, they are probably configured to send data to a non-existent IP address

@macjshiggins Yoi Mac, I bought a bunch of VLP16s and I’m not getting any point cloud data Any troubleshooting tips for me !?

THE EDDIE BAUER EDITION FORD IS BACK

Working on some innovative solutions re: the space jihad problem Happy to talk shop if you’re in town

@samuel_hayden_ screenshotting for my legal defense

@macjshiggins it has street in the name and runs on the street so I fail to see what legal grounds the DPW can say it's not a street vehicle

do you think this is eligible for street parking?

Here to commit stolen valor, ask me anything (also congrats @jimbelosic, can’t wait for the SCS empire)

@Icalbert101 @Mammoth @jimbelosic @mattfreed nah, Reno has the actual good stuff

@Mammoth @jimbelosic @mattfreed 7/11 right here

Jims going to make Reno the American Schenzen We’re so back

@wmata Can I ask what you are doing with the old signage?

ICYMI: Soon, text style on destination signs will match on all our trains! 🤩 This helps with consistency and accessibility. 🤝 During the transition (now through July 19), you may notice some irregular text as we update our 3000 and 6000-series trains.

@heskelbalas unless the thing is already spinning I dont buy it.

@macjshiggins I actually have a good use for one

Spinning persistence of vision displays have zero purpose, unless of course you’re the TSA checkpoint at the airport. Mission critical technology.

@YukonK9 oof please be careful

Playing with large germanium lenses means I have to drop a 90s rap video.

@broblas @_baldtires please don’t conflate web development with computer science & engineering

@_baldtires Neither does engineering

it seems like design and taste do not mean the same things to software engineers that they do to me
