my eyes teared up spontaneously (bc allergies or whatever) and it tricked me into feeling sad for a moment until i realized i was being tricked

took apart my friend's compaq armada 1700 (1998 laptop) yesterday, super impressed bc all screws are t8 torx of the same length, fully interchangeable.

never seen it before, i don't think even framework is doing that yet? i love it

@verge it's never been clear to me why a hardware company is "behind" if they don't have an in-house AI model. however good LLMs get, you'll need a phone or laptop to use them.. building those devices seems like a pretty safe and profitable position

is there a sane way to set an "accent color" on macos 26 but keep the classic light-blue folders?

ive been doing this, which works but feels very dumb..

defaults write -g AppleIconAppearanceTintColor Other
defaults write -g AppleIconAppearanceCustomTintColor '0.356 0.782 0.971 1.0'

@9to5Mac swapping all the keycaps individually is terrible advice, it will take hours and you're pretty much guaranteed to break a couple of the scissors

@nikitonsky looks a bit like my friend's tiny lumia which remains one of the cutest phones ive seen to date

@semifor yes but a very short one: "i put 6 cups in and it worked"

my dad's nominally 5 cup rice cooker can properly cook 6 cups, nice

@samhenrigold alarmed at the prospect of forgetting my balls but remembering my nuts, or vice versa

@hollie idk, for me the front pocket somehow destroys headphones wires and the back doesn't, and i have a small phone

there aren't even any other flies in sight at the moment. possibly killed the only fly in the house with my iPhone SE 2016 (Rose Gold, 64 GB, iOS 15.8.7)

threw my phone onto my bed from a few feet away (as one does) and it somehow squished a fly in the process? what the hell

received a super cool print from an artist in toronto (saw the original in november) her name is Izzy Paez and the drawing is called "La Laguna Encantada".

struggling to take a photo of my copy due to glare but it's this one! instagram.com/p/C9xZCJngRvN/?i

i would really recommend looking at it!! (features green frogs, mice, and much more)

@xgranade i think my apple account has a similar name issue (but mum's name rather than deadname.. lol she made it for me when i was a child). it shows the one i set in some spots and the original in others, really weird

@hikari does it even have the various characters' or evas' themes? i vaguely remember being disappointed that it didn't, but haven't seen the remakes in years

Amy boosted

The MacBook Neo is such an interesting machine that it coaxed a thousand-word-essay out of me: samhenri.gold/blog/20260312-th

oh my god what, the "macbook neo" has the old style display cable that passes through the hinge support.apple.com/en-ca/126159

first macbook in a decade that won't have random display cable failures???

i realize it's _such_ a low bar, but they're finally approaching the standard of the 2015-17 macbook airs again. minus replaceable ssd, plus replaceable keyboard. i didn't expect it at all

antagonizing the other swifties by interpreting "you go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me" as a node with three spokes rather than a linear chain

today's cattleya pic since it feels unfair to post endlessly about the phalaenopsis propagation drama and never even show my favorite orchid, just because it's comparatively easy to duplicate
