Never mind all the #chess puzzles I fail from stupidity. That’s purely a lack of ability. But when I miss-tap or mouse slip I want to throw my phone or mouse across the room 🤣.
Completely ignoring the moral debate about this whole thing: If I were on death row, I’d advocate for death by #fentanyl. That’s some good 💩, and I’d be ok ODing on that. Just drip until I’m RIP vs whatever BS the state thinks up.

If you’re wondering what ~$15/month internet speeds are in #Korea. This is a test from my #iPhoneAir over WiFi. I blame the WiFi router for the poor performance but maybe later I’ll get a chance to try from the wired AppleTV.

What the heck?!
“No. We don’t do that. Find another venue”. See how easy that is? 😮💨#EiffelTower #Paris

Totally fine when all the employees have doors and their own offices IMHO. 🤷🏼♂️ https://www.ign.com/articles/counter-strike-co-creator-says-gabe-newell-got-so-obsessed-with-mongolian-throat-singing-at-valve-hq-that-staff-started-closing-their-office-doors-to-escape-the-noise
I don’t often LOL when reading something but I did about 50% into this article. Yes. #Google has become super weird. Their #ai / #LLM search results are something else.

Made an iPhone Duo Walkman. Duo-Man!
Duo-Man offers the complete walkman experience on the iPhone Duo. Open the Duo to pick and 'insert' the cassette, Close the Duo to start listening.
And Yes, I actually recorded the button clicks and static noise from a real Walkman! 😀
This was for @BitRigApp ’s hackathon today. Fun 3 hr sprint.
I’ve read a number of mainstream reviews of people falling over themselves about how good #Muse is at being a personal assistant… so I thought I’d give it a spin.
To be honest, it is actually pretty bad for the task I gave it: find a USB-A to USB micro Type B connector. I think Muse’s inability is more because of all the anti-bot stuff going on.
#Amazon is really good at blocking bots, and so is #Cloudflare. Monoprice is behind Cloudflare, so Muse couldn’t even look at pricing. BestBuy and Walmart were viewable, but there were constant bot blockers that had Muse asking for help. I told Muse to solve the puzzles itself, and it was able to get past whatever Walmart and BestBuy do. After giving it the ok to purchase, it was a huge new pain in the ass. You either give it your personal account information or set up a new account. Then paying is some wallet connection with Stripe, which obviously won’t work everywhere. An alternative is a virtual screen running Chrome where you manually drive it over your phone. It kept triggering bot-blocking pages. Since I was able to see the item in my cart for Walmart in their app on my iPhone, I was able to complete the purchase from a 3rd-party seller.
Overall, it’s kind of terrible at doing basic finding and buying. I shared this thought with Muse, and it agreed and stated it’s better at researching and finding.
So…. #AI #OpenClaw

If anybody wants a smile btw, a MS employee told me they believe this Mastodon thread and my blog cost them over a billion dollars.
I think it’s firmly on Microsoft’s shoulders, the rollout of Recall and Copilot+ PC was just a series of own goals. They had huge expectations for it in terms of consumer demand and just.. didn’t think it through on many levels.
