Oh, wow, fantastic ideas if I can't repair the membrane keyboard, made all the better by the fact that I work next to an indy Radio Shack dealer.

ah, the old "PR doesn't know the difference between "encrypted" and "hashed"". (And it turns out this is actually an important distinction)

🚨UPDATE: T-Mobile now says "encrypted passwords" were compromised in latest data breach.

We obtained a sample of one "encrypted password" and turns out it may be a Base64 string that decodes to a MD5 hash. In other words, it could potentially be cracked. motherboard.vice.com/en_us/art

On the membrane keyboard, it's definitely something you don't want to do a lot of typing on, with barely any feedback at all. I keep expecting it to beep like a microwave's keypad. But to be honest, the keys that work feel better than any smartphone's on-screen keyboard I've ever touched.

It's so tiny that my 2007 netbook has a larger footprint.

I now own a computer I've been wanting since the '80s for no reason other than it's as utterly cheap in price and quality as a fully functional home computer could get: A Timex Sinclair 1000. The picture quality is delightfully crappy. Unfortunately, half the keyboard doesn't work, which probably means its super-cheap ribbon cable kinked & broke.

Apathy is indeed out in 2018

We’re out here giving a crap about ourselves and each other. I was gonna try to fit this into a joke format and then realized, “no, that’s not needed here”

blog, "regarding why software is so bad" 

i wrote up some feels about software as a craft and why it's so awful right now

> Only together can we seize the craft from the industry. Only together can we demand and develop the high ethical standards that public infrastructure requires. We are not scabs or mercenaries. We are craftspeople, and we will do our craft justice.

Thank goodness for the Big Book of Amiga Hardware. I had to take my (secondhand) A500 apart to see if a RAM upgrade I was eyeing is compatible, but I found this weird little Kickstart switcher card I couldn't identify in the ROM socket instead. bigbookofamigahardware.com/bbo

Just put your 0.75 PB of data in a zip file & email it to yourself, Linus. If it's still too big, keep putting the zip file in another zip file until you're down to 64 KB. :V

When I removed Twitter from my phone, I put a meditation app (Oak) in its place on my home screen.

Now, every time I tap the app out of habit, I do a breathing exercise instead of read shitty news.
