for the macos 26 beta enjoyers, this seems to enable a water animation on the default wallpaper (at a couple fps, lol, maybe hidden for a reason)
sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/NeptuneWallpaper.plist onemove -dict Enabled -bool true
also didn't realize these things' fans are fully off most of the time, afaik the airs are always spinning at low rpm? kind of neat
silly 2015 mbp 13" situation today, no force touch (touchpad worked otherwise) and it only turned on intermittently with the touchpad connected... turns out this random capacitor on the bottom of the touchpad daughterboard was visibly burnt, and immediately crumbled into powder when i squished it with pliers. now it boots reliably and force touch is back?? not complaining, lol
wonder what i'd eat every day if my ex hadn't fed me buckwheat in high school. wonderful stuff. cheap, healthy, cooks in 5 minutes in the microwave, tastes good on its own or with soy sauce, random vegetables, peas, nuts or mostly anything else that would be good on rice 😋 i love it

I have spent a week writing a massive article about Windows 2. It has sexy screenshots and is full of incredible trivia. Why not spend the New Year's Eve reading it? ;)

Long thread/3
Expert agencies are often all that stands between us and extreme misadventure, even death. The modern world is full of modern questions, the kinds of questions that require a high degree of expert knowledge to answer, but also the kinds of questions whose answers you'd better get right.
You're not stupid, nor are you foolish. You could go and learn everything you need to know to evaluate the firmware on your antilock brakes and decide whether to trust them.

why did we invent a new kind of battery that can burst into flames when punctured or bent and then started GLUING it into everything?

surely this will finally lead to mainstream reckoning with western animal industries as unethical and under-regulated, as covid did with the chinese wildlife trade. we aren't just racist and unwilling to introspect. right?
(i eat eggs and dairy. im not pointing fingers or being smug here)

oh, to be made of an abstract elastic material that can stretch, bend, and pass through itself, but which cannot be ripped or punctured without destroying me, and which cannot be creased, or bent sharply

apparently Scavengers Reign is on american netflix now so any american-netflix-havers who haven't watched it yet should go remedy that immediately; it's incredibly cool and beautiful
