Do you ever do the thing in @duolingo where you're given a sentence in the language you're learning and you immediately understand it in your native language and then mistakenly think the task is to type it back in the foreign language?

Is installing a Unifi Door Access system for my front door overkill? Yes.

Do I want to do it anyway? Absolutely.

Turns out if you buy someone an @AlaskaAir flight with your airline miles, it gets added to your own Alaska account, and then you get push notifications when their flight starts boarding and have a mild panic because you thought you were supposed to be at the airport

The last car I owned was a 1985 Volvo, and this is just one of the many reasons I have no interest in owning a car ever again https://twitter.com/motherfuton/status/1569123477143318528

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!

People comparing this to "every NFL match" as if that somehow makes any of it okay??? https://twitter.com/jimbarrett/status/1567852793406410753

As I'm sure comes at no surprise, given the deadline is next week, the FAA is delaying the enforcement of Remote ID for another 3 months to give drone manufacturers more time to figure things out. https://twitter.com/faadronezone/status/1567651060378107904

I know I shouldn't make jokes about the Queen but there is literally nowhere higher to punch up

adding something to my todo list seems to be the best way to make sure I put it off as long as possible

Alright, who's ready to watch 90 minutes of Apple ads! Let's goooooo #AppleEvent

Sometimes I get annoyed that it takes me 10 hours to make a video that takes you 10 minutes to watch.

So my goal with every video is that it gets at least as much total watch time as it took me to make it, then it's worth it.

I just spent 4 hours downloading and organizing files off of 6 different SD cards with footage from the last year. How did I let it go this long??

Dear Brands™

If you work with a PR agency for your outreach to creators, *please* give them an email address at your company domain, otherwise when I get an email "on behalf of X brand" I have no way of verifying this is legitimate, and this is exactly how channels get hacked.

well I did my (very small) part and migrated my two websites off of Cloudflare today. I'm sure my origin server can handle the extra 26gb/mo of traffic itself just fine.

So... how long until I can train an AI model with a bunch of talking head videos of myself and then type out a script and have it generate a video of me speaking? Seems like we're not that far off.

Sure would speed up the process of filming all this course content.

I just updated my PHP emoji detector library to Emoji 14.0! Better late than never! My new favorites:

🪫 Low Battery (me after a long day of travel)
