What? Apple rug pulled a useful feature? Shocking.

@EdipisReks1 - it will be curious to hear your thoughts on ink consumption and cost to print. Looks like ~$100 to replace all 8 cartridges which honestly is not horrible. 13" maximum dimension (in one direction) coupled with 39" length could be fun to tinker with.

I set up my new Pixma PRO-200S today. It’s an absolute game changer for me.

Something I just learned that others might already know: Apple removed the secure erase function from Disk Utility because users where "damaging their SSDs." Something, you know, a warning popup might have solved. Now one has to go through Terminal to accomplish the same thing. I mention this now because I'm finally decommissioning some external HDDs from the early 2010s.

Think of it as a layer of glue, not as a solder dome like with through hole. And don't worry, electrons will flow!

Made a control board for filament smps today. Some pictures from my kitchen. Idle voltage – no tube 2A3 300B and EML 20B-V4

I watched a factory tour of some company that made DACs, maybe it was PS Audio, and they had a wall of shame by the repair bench that featured one that had been caked in a similar damping paint. Applying a sealant over a PCB that hasn't been cleaned is also a great way to make it much more likely that it will fail much sooner. Maybe this guy is a rogue employee from Acoustic Revive: Probably because of their glossy casework, seeing the inside of a Viva amplifier for the first time was the worst kind of surprising.

Abandoned Japanese island:

Did someone say Fish & Chips? (Post sharing split) Which makes room for

The groovy sounds of the sixties, With Revolver On a glorious day by the water.

And no Ketchup dispenser / applicator? What are they thinking

This morning before finishing up our bathroom remodel cabinetry project, I prepped and Al cooked breakfast on the flattop. Kind of a mimic of Waffle House's Smothered, covered, loaded hashbrowns. All the eds were used. Bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, smoked cheddar and scrambled eggs and bacon on the side. We made a ton, and I think that I hurt myself a little bit, as our project required me to move and conform in ways that I found difficult. Lot's of groaning and weezing involved. But we prevailed. The homeowners left fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, which I still can't quite consume, even though they look amazing.

They selected "Well Done" - fuck that noise.

Freakin' sweet work!

Hardware finally arrived so we installed pulls and stops and we're done with this project.

This seems very HC https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/147080381/agari-the-worlds-first-ai-powered-reverse-sear-cooker?ref=alokfx $1000 steak blast furnace... nice Perfect Ribeye in 23 Minutes - And if your guest wants to eat too, they can wait another 23 minutes.. If you have more than two people for supper, you can buy a convenient 4-pack of Asari's. They only require 4x the counter space. d-_-b

Wait, has anyone watched The Hunting Wives? Suddenly it seems interesting.

As a wise man once said: ”Qobuz was always the answer.”

^ Yes, far be it for Head-Case to ever veer off on a tangent. 😝

Yeah, sorry, good point.

From good ol' days:

Not sure if this is the best place to continue this discussion....but I love love love this woman and her sarcasm. There's another clip I saw on FB where she goes on factually to show why he doesn't deserve it. But even this part is great.

The problem is that there is people in Europe, and probably other continents, who believe he’s doing great for the interests of his voters. People that are willing to vote to parties in the extreme right to do the same here. And the amount of such people is increasing. Look at Argentina and how Trump bought time for Milei Such people may have influence to get a Nobel for Trump. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m very afraid I am not.
