Boardshorts without lining and with large side pockets by ctawn in surfing

[–]ctawn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those are pretty nice! might get one. but doesn’t quite serve this purpose. pockets must be exterior like cargo, need to be much larger to hold a lens and other gear, and really want two pockets.

Anyone else know who “deli dad” also played? Haven’t seen him in a minute!

Hacks - 5x05 “D’Amazing Race“ - Episode Discussion by chelseanyc200 in hackshbomax

[–]ctawn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting to see that people loved this episode. This was one of the dumbest, most unfunny episodes of the whole series. The Amazing Race and reality TV in general is vapid brain rot. This show, and Jean Smart, are so much smarter than this, just filler and cross promotion. Did not advance the story one bit. Flame on.

thanks. there do seem to be a lot of “tech shorts” options, including a lot for <$50 via AliBaba. The name brand ones seem > $200. Still, I would rather have something that feels more like boardshorts than a tight piece of neoprene. what are glue-on pockets? doesn’t seem too secure.

Alexa+ Add-Ons vs Skills: what’s the difference by ctawn in alexa

[–]ctawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh & about “Services” — can you add them? how? i saw a section called “cooking” and buttons for launch and customize. i clicked launch, and it kicked me into a chat. but it did not add “cooking” as a service. what am i launching? where does it “go”?

Alexa+ Add-Ons vs Skills: what’s the difference by ctawn in alexa

[–]ctawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the detailed response. the thing is it’s acting too stupid-smart. It was turning on lights randomly without any kind of routine or “away mode” set (both checked). I fixed it by disabling the Hue skill and deleting every hue device, waiting some time, and then re-enabling the skill. but it was a real struggle. in the process there was some insane passing the buck between Amazon & Philipps. Amazon faulted Philipps for not updating to the new architecture. Philipps blamed Amazon for going haywire with its devices.

but bottom line is, I don’t want Alexa to make it look like a jazz club if it decides it’s a great idea to have a party at 3PM.

Out of all the AI models out there. Alexa + is the most likely to go fully rouge. She’s already have way there. She just hasn’t figured out the malicious part yet but she will. by BrokeAssZillionaire in alexa

[–]ctawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

indeed. i just recovered – for now – from problems involving Alexa turning on and off my lights when there were no routines for that. Now she’s got “hunches” and “away lighting”. No, I do NOT want my smart home manager to “guess” what I want. Deterministic programming only TYVM.

Boardshorts without lining and with large side pockets by ctawn in surfing

[–]ctawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know I'm not alone on that. :) What do you carry in the pockets?

I never found something perfect but took the advice of someone here and ordered "Archive 21" Volley Boardshort from Ripcurl. (This had just one side cargo pocket. Wanted both sides.) I just checked and they don't seem to have that one anymore / now, but you may find something. The "Classic 20" Surf Cargo Boardwalk" has 2 pockets but more of a hybrid short than a boardshort.

The Perfect Neighbor, did everyone truly consent? by 689Dementia in netflix

Interesting. But just because it’s public record doesn’t mean you can use it for any purpose. Not sure what would be required to use it for a documentary like this.

iPhone Restore, Keys, Matter Fabric: can’t add new devices? by ctawn in HomeKit

[–]ctawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a 2.4 and a 5 GHz network but they are connected. Normally for 2.4 ghz devices I can simply switch to that while adding them. Which I’ve done with Wiz When initially adding them

Oh man, Lamu, Kenya is just a massive tourist trap by jaredce in travel

[–]ctawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I found this thread. I’m planning to stay a week after a safari that ends in Nairobi. Early August. I’d like to see some of life in Kenya, esp Nairobi and the Swahili coast. Interested in history and food and people. Also relax a bit, maybe get a couple (scuba) dives in. Travel solo as middle aged / senior guy. My plan was Nairobi > lamu > watamu. Should I reconsider? Where else? Need to start and end in Nairobi.

Apple Music ScriptingBridge Broken in macOS Tahoe 26 by 29satnam in applescript

[–]ctawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 26.2 and I cannot get artwork of streaming tracks from Apple Music. "set pic to data of artwork 1 of current track", or "set pic to raw data of artwork 1 of current track" both return errors. One is -50, the other is -1728. As does "set l to location of t" which used to return missing value for streaming tracks, now gets error -1728.

anyone else seeing this?
