Was at #OutsideLands last weekend and asked my brother which bands he knew from the lineup. His response:

“The Killers, The Postal Service, Sturgill Simpson, and Postal Malone Service.”

I’m now convinced Postal Malone Service needs to be a thing. 😂

Just passed the warranty period on my Steam Deck LCD and it just… died. It seems to be experiencing the “black screen of death” issue which appears widespread. Valve support says they can’t do anything except have me pay for an out-of-warranty repair. :( @Steam @OnDeck

You know what the most idiotic, simultaneously despair-inducing and most hopeful thing in cybersecurity is?

A great deal of improvement (in terms of overall societal risk) could be achieved with very modest* investments of the right kinds in the right places.

Just found out one of my apps (@TMNotifier) was mentioned on the @MacGeekGab podcast! That’s really cool considering I first listened to that show on my first iPod 15ish years ago while I was working at a Sam’s Club gas station. 😂

I'm very particular about my iTerm2 windows and tabs and (after years of daily use) I just inadvertently discovered the concept of "maximized split panes." Glad I was able to quickly restore the state of my tab after a quick Google search!

Is it just me or has iMessage been kinda slow to update in the last few days?

Car Seat Headrest sounds like what would happen if The Strokes and The National had a baby at a Weezer concert.

.@Pinboard is a really, really good service. I can’t believe it took me this long to start using it. 🤦

I remember loving this commercial.

I recently got the Joey Junior GB/GBC/GBA cart dumper for backing up save files from my Game Boy Advance games and this thing is amazing. Super easy to use. Was also fun copying saves between duplicate cartridges. Lots of possibilities.

Just got my Group 4 @playdate in the mail. I like it even more than I expected to. :)

I still think about how I told my girlfriend in the mid 2000s that I ate an olive burger from a Coney Island in Flint, MI and she straight up looked at me and asked if it was made out of olives.

[James Barclay @futureimperfect]

Got this in the mail today. 😊

FileVault 2 makes Mac minis completely unusable as headless servers, even with a KVM console. Are people seriously disabling it in order to use them?

TIL Apple has a Security Research blog.

It’s absolutely wild to me that I can take a game I was playing in high school (20 years ago) and just pick up where I left off on the @analogue Pocket. 🤯

[James Barclay @futureimperfect]

I can Ballmer Peak like a motherfucker.

[James Barclay @futureimperfect]

Well, it's not perfect (yet).
