@32nds @ABoxIsMyHome I signed back into X after months and months and months to say, thank you for this. It's great to hear your thoughts, and I died a little on the inside when they drove the Warthog right into the middle of the island. I knew that wouldn't sit right with you guys, either.

@nabilr4hman Bluesky for personal, LinkedIn for professional. 👍

Heads up: I don't have Twitter/X on my phone or tablet anymore. You're unlikely to reach me here, especially in a DM.

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS Mr. President, as an American currently living in a country bordering Russia, I am ashamed for my country and the way you were treated at the White House today. Your restraint was impressive.

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@AndyRogersUK Awesome, thank you Andy! I will put them to use. 👍

Something I need a bunch of: small MicroSD cards, in capacities like:

💾 128 MB
💾 512 MB
💾 1 GB
💾 4 GB

I need them for things like Game Boy flashcarts and SCSI hard disk emulators for old computers. They don't need to be fast, just reliable. Any ideas on where to find them?

@JoeParrisTV Congratulations, Joe! As an Idahoan 🥔 living in Finland 🇫🇮, I think Finn’s name is fantastic.

@horstpwr You did amazing work on Mac Address. I think you could easily do it on your own. I'd be one of the first in line to subscribe.

Bluesky is reaching escape velocity. As of this week, I find myself scrolling it instead of this place that used to be Twitter.

@Ike_Saul @richardlav The simultaneous accusations are a big part of why I trust you. If you’re taking heat from both sides, you’re in the middle. Thanks for being my number one news source!

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@waded Totally agree. That one seemed super obviously good to me too.

I hate that iOS app developers are leaving iOS 15 and thus the iPod touch behind, especially for apps that target kids. I get it, but I hate it.

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@Ike_Saul This looks like a classic case of a mis-calibrated or faulty resistive touch display to me. Resistive displays were everywhere until the iPhone; every PDA, the Nintendo DS, and Redbox screens were resistive. They must be manually calibrated and even then can do weird stuff.

@ronscompvids @ActionRetro1 @tomshardware @MuseumJoe Makes sense! I am hoping for an official USB-C Pico someday, too.

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@ronscompvids @ActionRetro1 @tomshardware @MuseumJoe Congratulations on the huge success, Ron! Any chance of there being a USB-C powered version in the future?

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@aminsedighfar @WirelessJimP TWO of my favorite people! It was great to see you both at #WLPC!

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@StefanKWL @HaminaWireless Awwww Stefan. Do you say that to all of the potatoes!? 🥔

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@StefanKWL @troymart If I wasn’t teaching the Hamina Deep Dive, Troy’s would be my first choice!

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@WirelessJimP @HaminaWireless Awwwww thanks Jim! Same to you man. I absolutely loved your preso and slideware. Everything was so polished, and the animations were just right. 👌

[Joel Crane 🥔 @Potato_Fi]

@MisterAddons Mine didn’t like them. We had a handful of PC games but we only got to play console games at friends houses, and my Uncle’s old Genesis at Grandma’s house in Burley.
