@mattiem @_inside aren't some bits (fairplay, mdm, i think activation stuff) already obfuscated? they definitely were at one point. so they effectively also decided *not* to obfuscate the rest

sold it back to the same guy and im pretty sure he asked me on a date in kijiji dms? unless he just wants to take me to a restaurant as thanks for fixing his laptop. too shy to ever find out regardless 😅

took off my jeans and a big spider fell out 😓

face planted, hurt my thumb, it feels much better tucked under my very warm 2015 macbook air. thank you 2015 macbook air

@mcc omg have you read the rest of the Nghi Vo Singing Hills books? i really enjoyed them all but would say the 4th was my favorite by a significant amount

(taking notes on the rest as i've only read a couple of these)

@aronia ooh and they could put it on the 14th since im always free then!

..is it possible to stop the stock apps auto-updating the moment i connect to wifi? only third party apps seem to consistently respect the setting in google play store?

i mean, beats ios where first party apps don't update independently from the os at all, but i was hoping to save the packages with "raccoon" and install with adb for some measure of reproducibility/so i have the option to revert to an older version.

am i insane? is there a better way to do this? lol

macOS 26.3 edition 😳

not 100% sure i'll switch to it (im really attached to my pink iphone se 2016, ok) but a *much* better candidate than the iphone se 2022

bought one from facebook marketplace and it seems really, really nice?? super light despite being way bigger than my iphone. i am impressed and confused by modern android (last used 7 on moto e4 lol)

in december i ordered a 2022 iphone se for $90 cad because i was curious about ios 26 and i figured (a) it's a good price (b) either my dad or sibling will surely want it since they're using the 2016 se and 8 respectively..

turns out i was wrong on both counts, nobody likes it and they're going for like $40 on the local kijiji. so i think ive basically paid $50 for the privilege of playing with "liquid glass" for like an hour, lmao

@zhuowei while they killed those plugins in 2020, the Shockwaves are only hitting the supply chain now..

🟢 💭 (spraying my orchids to kill flies always gives me a headache, while my dad is unaffected. possible explanation: im more bug-like than him?)

spent 3 hours on transit to pickup a "no power" 2014 macbook air which works perfectly after cleaning the (visibly corroded) touchpad cable. this sucks lol

@aronia the russian guy i keep dipping in paint:

question for the chemists: is silicone like a science word or is it equivalent to calling plastic "carbone"

anyone have opinions on whether a google pixel 3a would likely be suitable for an iphone 6 enjoyer? on paper it looks almost the same size and shape, but i've never seen one irl. (or any other android phone recommendations for such a person? specifically: similar size, touch id, single back camera, non-glass back, possible to replace the screen and battery at minimum..)

there should be a certain threshold of sleepy where im allowed to put my head on the guy next to me on the bus..

@cwebber im hopelessly biased by that pic captioned "kiki's delivery service/bouba's removal service"
