I had a dumb tv that I was using with a Roku streaming box. The TV became no longer supported because of the HDMI version that shipped with the TV. Roku stopped supporting certain versions of hdmi to prevent piracy.

Even if you have a “Dumb” device, newer tech may just say no.

On the days I go into the office:

Tennis shoes, Jeans, Button down short sleeve shirt, or Polo shirt.

Work from home days:

Same thing except I wear a t-shirt.

EDIT: And after making the comment below I just noticed the date on the version is 2022? I’m going need to try out the latest version from their Git.

I use droidify because I like the look of it better. It comes with another repo enabled by default called IzzyOnDroid which has the Alpha versions of lawnchair.

I’ve been using it for years. It’s great.

I do mostly, I turn it almost all the way off with a valve on the shower head.

The running stream is thinner than a pencil.

If I turn it off all the way, it is cold when I turn it back on.

I bought a 21 inch 1080p Viewsonic monitor from a thrift store just the other day for $6. I got it just for this use case.

I had a spare for this purpose up until about a month ago when the backlight went out on one of my daily drivers.

Also, a couple of days ago I got a pretty nice steelcase apex 3 keyboard with RGB lights for $5.

Well now I want an old ugly bike. Where do you park yours? 😉

I’m using servicenow. First time and it’s pretty bad. But I hear that it is actually worse than normal because they customized the hell out of it trying to make it match the previous solution.

When I started working at NI they were still using Lotus Notes. 🤮

One of my favorite snacks lately is tamari almonds and a slice of smoked provolone cheese.

That’s what we assume.

I moved my personal email domain to fastmail. I’ve been very happy with it. I am using the Standard plan at $50 per year.

It’s nice being the customer instead of the product.

They can also host static web sites for no additional cost on this plan. So I canceled my web hosting plan too.

wth. really?

That’s not a thing.

Smash the office, build more housing

And the RTO demands are about intentionally lowering headcount without paying unemployment or severance so they can boost their numbers.

Stuff keeps breaking in my house. I hate fixing the stuff, but I always feel super proud when it’s done.

In the last month I replaced an electrical outlet that released its magic smoke when the electric griddle cord short circuited. I replaced the igniter in our gas oven. And just today I replaced the insinkerator garbage disposal that started leaking water under the sink.

How did that exchange go?

They try to tell you that you can’t use your last name?

Just for shiggles, I setup and ran a minecraft Java server on an old phone for a little while. I did this through Termux.

It was surprisingly good.

Most people get a new phone every 2-3 years. If people use their 2 most recent phones as simple servers, then these are not 10 year old devices.
