I saw an older man driving a Chevrolet Astro minivan in a parking lot. It looked like it was in very good condition. The paint and trim were perfect, and that is unusual for #Hawaii - especially an older vehicle. The engine still sounded like it was about to die… so same as when they leave the factory floor.

It was like seeing a unicorn to have one survive to 2026. Maybe he has the last model year: 2005. That’s still 21 years old.

#Amazon One Palm authentication is being discontinued. They should have done face authentication. It’s working in China very well. 🥴

This has to be rage bait. Spending nearly $25k/year on Amazon and posting about it in r/Anticonsumption on #Reddit? 😂

Landlord is here at the apartment swapping out the ballast that burned out in my kitchen lights. They are going on 2 hours, and it looks like maybe another hour before completion. They paused so many times to rewatch the how-to videos on YouTube. 😂

🤦🏼‍♂️
It’s ok to read books people! You don’t need any of this!! 😵‍💫

Something maybe #Linux community can look into.

That is very expensive for email… $10/month/user?! I thought #fastmail prices for $5/month/user was pricey!

#selfhosting email needs to be a thing again.

Broker rejected some random PDF they want me to sign because I used an #Apple Pencil. I need to print, sign, take a pic, and send it. But they also said #Docusign is okay if I do it myself?

I'm so tired 🫩

I didn’t even know “glass cloth” was a thing inside of chips. #TIL. It’s the new “no more memory available” problem #Apple, #AMD, #Qualcomm, and #Nvidia are having problems sourcing. (Although I think Apple and Nvidia are secure in memory department).

Tried to add my driver’s license to my #iPhone & #AppleWatch wallet. After a 3-week wait, I get a message with a generic “can’t verify your identity - contact DMV”. 🫩

I guess next time #starbucks employees should draw a snowflake. ❄️ https://ktla.com/news/local-news/starbucks-barista-fired-for-pig-drawing-on-deputys-cup/

Not Sure, what’s going on with ad engines nowadays, but #Reddit thinks I’m in need of #Bollards? 🤨

Linus (creator of #linux and #git) writes about his #Vibecode project on GitHub. Even the master is a vibe-coder now!

According to my #AppleWatch, I had the best sleep of my life last night. It was a great sleep. 😊

Betterment sent email out from an unauthorized user promoting a #scam. I wonder if anyone fell for it. Seems like this is pretty bad unauthorized access and should be a bigger deal.

About once a month, we receive a false alarm for a fire in the 40-story apartment building where I live. We’ve grown accustomed to the alarms, and none of us react anymore. I can’t help but feel a sense of dread about this becoming a tragic event in the future. 😒

First week of 2026 done. Only 51 to go! 🫠

This #Lenovo laptop screen looks pretty cool. It rolls out to be a huge widescreen. Finally, a use for those bendable screens that doesn’t involve smartphones. But will it run #Linux? 🤔

Newly introduced #Samsung refrigerator seems like one of the most hellish nightmares to put in your kitchen. Voice-controlled door opening is the start of the features no one asked for but is the manufacturer’s highlight.

#Linux (ok technically #GNOME) wants to be more mainstream by removing good features. 😂
