I’m officially at the “Adjust the screen resolution on your laptop” age.
30 years. Feel old yet?
I picked up a new phone today. T-Mobile, in their infinite wisdom, thinks it’s a smart idea to text the phone number you’re activating in order to approve the activation. What a cluster fuck that was.
The YouTube app just started downloading videos without me asking. I have never used the feature. I never watch without internet access. Had to drill into setting to turn off settings that were turned on by default including auto downloading suggested content.
The YouTube iPad app keeps getting worse. Now, navigation buttons don’t even work half the time. Click Home, nothing happens. Click Shorts, a short’s audio start playing but black screen. Have to force quit the app.
I’m only one episode in and I can already say Michael Shannon will win an Emmy for Death By Lightning.
Attempting to upgrade the OS on my Raspberry Pi. I’ve never done this before. Hopefully Pi Hole and Unbound come out fine on the other side.
I finally found a good use for AI.
The first two episodes of Pluribus were very good. I cannot wait to see where this show goes.
Die My Love had great performances but little else.
Watching: Die My Love 🍿
This cover of Alabama Shakes’ Hold On by The Big Push is so good.
This is the second time since I’ve installed Zorin that the OS thinks I only have 9% battery left (it’s really 99% and fully charged). The system even says fully charged, but also reads 9%. If I unplug, it warns me that battery is low. Rebooting takes it back to 99%.
Playing around with the Zen browser again after not using it for a while. I think I may make it the default on my Zorin laptop for a while. I love that it uses Firefox’s engine and I can sign into my Firefox account and sync everything I need to.
I wish my local NPR station, St. Louis Public Radio, would add RSS feeds for their news articles.
7Up Shirley Temple may be my new favorite soda.
Currently reading: Only God Can Judge Me by Jeff Pearlman 📚
Now playing: The Big Push - An Englishman in New York from the album Busking Sessions.
One thing that channels does better than any other media server is the Virtual Channels feature. The problem is, other features rarely work with it. Can’t add streamlinked content to virtual channels. Can’t use Virtual Channels in the new multiview (or any personal media). So many caveats.
