I'm pretty sure we can thank, not Trump (hard as that may be to accept), but Dubya Bush for the unblockable Presidential Alert part of the Emergency Alerts feature.

It's been in cell phones for many, many years, and I'm certain it was part of the aftermath of That Day.

What I'm most impressed about, positively or negatively, is that the presidential alert test actually worked even half as well as it did. Last time they tried a national test that involved actually notifying the the public, it failed miserably.

Trump's taking the blame/credit, but he did nothing.

I wonder how much space I'll save by converting the WAVs to FLACs, and if the Android music player can play FLACs.

Tired: Toaster pastries are sandwiches.

Wired: Laptop power supplies are dongles.

Inspired: Bread slices are PB&J dongles.

@intelminer@blimps.xyz I had to take a moment to think because I parsed it wrong:

@AzureHusky good soft cute girl energy💗

@zac @a_breakin_glass That, too.

You, pleading through endless tears: "You can't just point at everything and call it some kind of a dongle!"

Me, pointing at a USB flash drive: "File dongle."

You, pleading through endless tears: "You can't just point at everything and call it some kind of a dongle!"

Me, pointing at a power strip: "Electricity dongle."

@maple I'm using a Java app for ZX81 tapes that lets you do that. I don't recall if such things exist for other cassette-based storage formats, but you're right; if they don't, they should.

Organizing cassette software in WAV files so I can load programs on stock 1981 computers from stock 2018 smartphones. Actually using them feels like using a magic fairy wand, but don't unplug the cord or you'll let out all the magic screeches.

@troubleMoney It's even worse than that. Someone actually ripped it & uploaded it to YT, & I just finished scanning it. There are only three frames of actual elf bowling shown in the entire 82 minutes of movie, & the first was accidental by the antagonist.

Now I'm troubleshooting a laptop keyboard. Among the unresponsive keys: the one that gives BIOS settings access during POST.

@ellied Any points for getting the color to set something on fire before the color is recognized?
