why does the iphone 7 have chips called homer and maggie

finally checked out some other stuff from this author (Linnea Sterte), she's so cool, idk why i didn't sooner??

so far ive read "world heist" and "a garden of spheres" and would highly recommend both. very very pretty, interesting world building, a bit confusing.

also available as PDFs on her patreon, which i really really appreciate as a Laptop Guy

btw, here's the progress on the purple and white phalaenopsis duplication. it seems to have decided to make like five plants??

it'll be a while until these are ready

it's finally ready to pot! the roots grew up very quickly once they got started

@nina_kali_nina as much as i wouldn't mind it happening, it's.. not the first company that comes to mind with "AI bubble"? why meta specifically?

they're mainly an ad company and have had enormous user bases on facebook, instagram, whatsapp, etc., since years before the current AI hype

@stroughtonsmith waow, works in reverse on tahoe too, lol. nice find

🟢 💭 (burger tomorrow)

@nora ohh that's a relief. i loved the originals but heard highly mixed things about the sequel trilogy and was procrastinating starting them

thank you again to the apple cve generator known as storagekitd

(dw, just more nonsense, i will not find any serious bug)

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

@gewt what's the two, im dumb af

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

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
