Of all the depictions of engineers in shows, no one nails it like Mythic Quest with Poppy.

Obviously numerous different archetypes for engineers exist. But for me, Poppy feels too real and similar. I don’t know where they got their inspiration but it’s impressive.

Avoid MacOS Ventura (<=13.0.1) for now if you need to have video conferences. My builtin and usb cameras aren’t identified/usable anymore. Based on forum posts I’m not alone.

Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess https://t.co/baSNzXPh4Y

@GoZwift your @AppleSupport subscription handling is still broken. Every month on automated renewal my account goes into trial mode for a day. I’m effectively loosing a day I’m paying for due to how Zwift handles this.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@GoZwift Bit late for that I’m done with Zwift for the day. I was only hopping on for the gcn ride which I can’t join due to the ui. If I’m scheduled for a ride and it’s in progress I should still have a way to join.

@GoZwift updated today and the app no longer starts. Just sits at the launcher forever. macOS 12.3.1 x64

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@GoZwift finally got it to load after a re-install, nuke of state and update. Just in time to not be able to join the event I was scheduled for since it’s impossible to find. I’ve just wasted 40 minutes trying to use the service.

@rheem Your systems are broken. Your web interface shows things out of warrantee at time of installation. The reps have repeated the same thing until pressed to look further. I’m now 5 days without hot water due to the device’s failure and this mess.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@rheem I’m now the proud owner of https://t.co/RUCFHcrg88, I figure people deserve some warning. My plumber and I are getting a run around.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@rheem Fix the website @rheem and maybe tell your folks at the call centers they can provide emails confirming warrantee status. They seem to have been instructed otherwise.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

Hey @rheem it looks like your warrantee website is broken and defaulting to telling people they aren’t under warrantee.

Just called the @Disney cruise support line to try and sort out things for my blind son since their site is broken. Wait time quote was 353 minutes. 5+hrs.

As usual @OptimumHelp can’t do anything when they screw up.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@OptimumHelp Can we start with not handing out my static IPs to other customers mid-workday and then telling me you can’t get them back? This is the second time in a few months.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@OptimumHelp you folks gave away my static ips AGAIN.

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@CTDems This is a horrible idea. Please stop.

EARN IT (the bill to coerce companies to break their encryption protocols) is back, and heading for markup. https://t.co/iYHj6usovF

[Mark Guzman @segy]

@SenBlumenthal as a Connecticut resident I am dismayed at your continued support for this horrible idea. It would be disastrous from privacy and national security standpoint.
