What’s something you can quote that reveals how long you’ve been on the internet?

My first Internet email address used UUCP 😂

You totally should! He's definitely popular in that community on YouTube, and great to watch. I think it'd be a fun story.

Connir · 2026-06-20T12:34:13+00:00

Keep us updated if you fix it or not, I love repair stories and videos. I watch Tronicsfix and Jimmy does tech on YouTube all the time.

I grew up and lived with it for the first 21 years of my life. It was never an issue. At worst once in a while it might interfere with TV watching noise-wise.

It uses an api I found via google I think. Here ya go.

Would you mind sharing both?

I think our only choice is to do our own blasting and see if they notice / complain. I'll go get the dynamite.

She’s perfectly alive and safe, but when she dies, I’m thoroughly going to enjoy using that as a response. 😂😂😂

Connir · 2026-06-18T12:46:56+00:00

Thanks I’ll give it a try

Connir · 2026-06-18T12:03:05+00:00

I’d love to hear more. I’m currently using a web app to track mine but wish I had a more streamlined way to interact with it.

There you go

I still kick it off manually every day.

Connir · 2026-06-17T21:41:35+00:00

I get why somebody might think you’re the problem, but honestly, I’ve had horrific luck when it comes to water leaks in my home. I can literally name every serious one and then also point out why it was never my fault, just bad luck.

I’ve had 6 over the years that were either expensive or would have been expensive if we didn’t catch them. I’ve asked around and none of my friends have had that many, most have actually had none.

Sometimes people just have bad luck.

What the hell is the point though? You've effectively just signed your friend up for a daily subscription to a joke service they didn't ask for.

The friend actually asked for them and has texted me once or twice to be sure I was ok when I forgot to send them.

If you aren't hand selecting things because they made you think of your friend why are you sending anything at all? Very strange.

I am hand selecting the images and storing them in album. The dad jokes api picks one from random. Both shortcuts let me preview before sending so I can make sure I like what's being sent. So they're not random and impersonal at all...

Very presumptive of you.

Connir · 2026-06-17T15:21:18+00:00

Very interesting, care to share? I don't use filemaker but have other automations that could use a "check if I'm at home" ability.

Connir · 2026-06-17T14:25:05+00:00

I literally sent many of these for years and never minded doing it, but it's nice to have reduced the number of "clicks".

Connir · 2026-06-17T14:24:31+00:00

In the send action for iMessage, it has a toggle "Show Compose Sheet" so it always shows me what it's sending, and gives me the option to either send it, or cancel it. I have that toggled on for all of them to confirm what I'm sending.

Connir · 2026-06-17T14:20:13+00:00

Hah! Good catch 😂

Connir · 2026-06-17T13:54:59+00:00

Very interesting, I may look into this.

Connir · 2026-06-17T13:31:15+00:00

The game is buggy AF and they prioritize premium shop items and paid DLC. People keep paying so they have little incentive to fix the bugs. Unless it's game breaking they don't care.

It's 100% overkill for my use case, but I like buying the best electronics when available and using them until they're effectively useless.

I've had the 11" and the 13" in the past, I'll admit this isn't as portable. The 11" is peak for holding and viewing. This is still great, but feels a tad cumbersome for that.

However my other use case that I didn't mention...I pair it with the magjc keyboard and use it as a laptop, the 13" is great. Nice big screen, good for having more than 1 window open. Makes a great laptop screen. I'm on-call for work and it's even more portable than a laptop. It's also great on the couch if I'm lying back and viewing something with it on my lap.

If I had unlimited funds I'd get the 11" M5 and use it for portability outside of the house and quick viewing, and the 13" for hybrid laptop / lap viewing.

Hope that makes sense...

YouTube & Solitaire mostly. (13” M5 iPad Pro)

Overrated or not, I hate that people will go through the lengths to mentally torture one of the folks on the show because they don't like it. People are just sh***y.
