“Get involved in standards bodies. We are getting boxed out of standards. I can’t emphasize enough how much of a risk that is.”

@bailey_bickley In my experience, it's better to be part of standards development than to wait until the regulatory orders come out mandating the standards. Get involved, control your own destiny by participating in standards development, or live with the outcome It's Your choice

@aaronpk Hey, @wildland_zko is doing incredibly awesome work updating the public about wildland firefighting efforts. He's having trouble with OBS + Google Earth and asked whether anyone knows an expert. Thought of you.

Cool! I might be able to help! What's the issue?

Dang I really like how iOS 16 treats wallpapers like watchOS treats watch faces.

I played around with it for a minute but I can't figure out how to add the weather widgets on top of my own background image for the lock screen. Is that possible?

oh I just figured it out. You have to make a *new* wallpaper, you can't add widgets to an existing non-widget-based wallpaper 🤦‍♂️

if you think some technology choice can make you way more productive, then just do it and show people the productivity, don't go on prattling about what other people should or shouldn't do.

The list of supported SD cards for the Hyperdeck recorders was updated recently, and there are only 3 SD card brands on the list now 😬

The good news is the ProGrade V90 cards are on that list, and they just went on sale for 15% off!

next time i get asked why we need to do user research or hire a content designer im just sending this video

I've never owned an Apple Watch and I legit didn't understand what the correct thing to do here was. Of course it seems obvious once you know, but my first guess was it was some sort of NFC pairing process.

But really, the take away, is in this country whether it's guns or cars, we're fine with killing kids once they're born. But a fetus in someone's womb is precious.

I haven't even used an android phone since like 2010 and this still doesn't make sense to me 😅 It's just not a good prompt

So there's a particular quirk of English grammar that I've always found quite endearing: the exocentric verb-noun compound agent noun.

It appears in a definite, remarkably narrow period - not more than 150, 200 years - before dying out, leaving loads of legacy words in its wake.

We received an email asking why Sunday's single lightning bolt over the Portland's West Hills was so incredibly loud. Thanks Bix for asking! It's an ~10x stronger "positive"polarity bolt than the far more frequent "negative" ones. Here's the details: https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/positive #ORwx
