After much contemplation, I decided my next one wheeled PEV would be a Floatwheel—cheaper, more performance, and no vendor lock-in when doing repairs. The only painful part was the purchase, as they still only take crypto, but luckily, I feel comfortable with that. #onewheel #floatwheel #fomf

Turned $20 into $226 at the new local casino tonight. Decided to quit while I was ahead, which paid for Valentine's Day dinner. #win

Just putting this out there: I had an Epson v39 II scanner that wasn't recognized by a MacOS 12 MacBook I plugged it into no matter how many times I reloaded the drivers. The fix: Create another user account, load the drivers in the second account. Log back into the main account. Printer works.

I have had zero cell service in this room for four years, yet this week, on my Samsung S25 Ultra, I've got service. It's not great, but it's way better than nothing.

I'm sad that my impulse purchases of cheap goods from Aliexpress that take weeks or months to arrive will soon be curtailed due to tariffs.

I just used Gemini to generate a shell script for the first time. A super simple prompt resulted in code that was far more considerate of the situation than I expected. I'm impressed... now to see if it works.

Everyone has panned the Samsung S25 Ultra, saying it is the same phone. I love that it is making a once a decade evolution into a slab before it goes back to being hyper-curved.

Put my first screen protector on at a restaurant table, the second one in my car. Both dust free. No credit to me, all the credit to folks designing better application methods.

25 hours after applying my first screen protector on a new Samsung S25 Ultra, it has a chip in it. Glad I have spares.

@bambulabglobal.bsky.social Despite all the hate, I still love you. Never have I had a 3D Printer that has printed 250+ items with only two failures. So good.

Okay, @davidpierce.xyz said Bluesky is where it is at now on The Vergecast, so I guess I gotta install it on my new phone.

For those that own homes and have tank water heaters - remember to replace your anode rod every five years or so to prevent it from rusting through.

I cannot believe I had never heard of Kung Fury. Every 80s movie trope shoved into a single film. Amazing. youtu.be/bS5P_LAqiVg?... #movies

I should not be allowed to install baseboard trim. That is all.

I had a vision of what I wanted the area behind our stovetop to look like. It turned out far better than expected.

It is nice when you run into an appliance where someone really thought out the usability. Our new air fryer is so intuitive, I’ve been able to do everything I want with zero confusion. Good stuff.

I love URL QR codes that are broken. Manufacturers, get your crap together.

In the category of stuff-that-moves-with-me we have an OpenBSD 2.6 poster from 1999. If you thought running Linux on the desktop years ago was rough... #tech #nix #bsd #openbsd

My favorite tortilla chips, bar none. Juanita's (now Juantonio's) have just the right mix of crunch, thickness, and salt.

It is incredible that we live in a world where a functional drone with a camera can be acquired for less than $20. It's not amazing, but it enables learning without worry. #drones #tech

My Anycubic Predator deltabot is back online after a long hiatus and some much needed TLC. My kids will be overjoyed. I love how delta printers move. #3dprinting #tech
