Music recommendation: I missed this when it came out, but Fruit Bats have a fun full-album cover of Siamese Dream: https://fruit-bats.bandcamp.com/album/siamese-dream
Not as chunky as the original but some fun takes…
Amazing AI product information bot you’ve got there Amazon – what could go wrong.
Note that it suggested the question it incorrectly answered.
I like the idea of a 3D printer but given the efforts to move away from plastic everywhere it feels kind of weird to buy a plastic maker that lets you make doo-dads of questionable utility out of plastic? If you’re extending the lifespan of things I suppose it’s a net positive for the environment but has anyone done the science?

The fact that Outlook is getting AI-powered themes before the ability to switch an in-progress draft message from “Reply" to "Reply all” (at least on the macOS desktop version) says a lot about the state of product management at Microsoft in 2024.

UniFi’s modular setup of a separate controller and router / gateway software has always struck me as a bit weird.
But after our UniFi USG died this evening, everything basically just kept working after plugging theAPss and controller into another router.
Now the architecture suddenly makes a lot more sense. 😅
Sad to see Apple retailer Gravis being shuttered: if it wasn’t for my college job selling Macs & iPods there while studying political science, I’m not sure I would have switched degrees and ended up working in the software industry. https://chaos.social/@obrhoff/112104761807774327
