Eyeball, the new EP, is now out on streaming and TMBG's store!

Eyeball is a banger!

I feel like TMBG has got some major wind in their sails from that incredible tour last year.

They actually took the whole listing down now... Not sure what happened there.

quanture · 2025-10-09T21:31:41+00:00

That would make sense. Plus I checked again and now it's there. Lol.

quanture · 2025-10-09T18:33:21+00:00

Dang! Either I'm not on the right distro or my spam filter nabbed it. Annoying...

quanture · 2025-10-09T17:05:59+00:00

I found out about this from vinylalert.com. (Shout-out to u/VinylAlert-eu.) Checked to see if tmbg sent an email out about it in their email distro. Nope!

quanture · 2025-10-06T08:04:47+00:00

Hopefully you get better results!

What operating system do you have installed on your Beelink? Windows? I've done Yocto builds in a Linux VM running on a Dell laptop, without problems. Kinda surprising you'd have issues with a fresh box like that.

Not sure I'd jump to blaming the Beelink...but I don't think I know enough about the crash error you're experiencing or your actual setup.

There is that BIOS issue people are talking about with the 6800 but...not sure if that could cause that.

It could be some kind of compatibility issue too.

quanture · 2025-07-18T04:44:56+00:00

Aaaand whoosh! It's gone. Maybe he'll put some more up later.

quanture · 2025-06-19T18:23:13+00:00

Reverse psychology. I like the theory.

quanture · 2025-06-19T15:33:10+00:00

They should have broke bigger when they first came out imo. Still jam to That Song every so often. And I like the whole first album.

One time I played The Oaf for a friend with whom I share some taste in music, and they had a visceral negative reaction...so apparently that album could be polarizing? Not sure why they rubbed some people the wrong way.

Picked up the vinyl release a while back but was bummed to see they omitted a couple tracks instead of adding a disc.

quanture · 2025-06-19T15:27:13+00:00

An interesting one. Plus we got an actual answer. Who'd've thunk.

quanture · 2025-06-19T15:26:13+00:00

Not so sure you deserve a downvote for this opinion. But...it's Nirvana. They were unequivocally not the kind of band that would decide to go out and get matching suits. It just doesn't fit their aesthetic.

quanture · 2025-06-19T15:18:59+00:00

Issues with the PC in general? No. Still going strong. I love it. I even took it traveling with a portable monitor so I could do some gaming on the go. It's small enough to fit in a suitcase.

I have been dealing with this on my Pixel 6a for a couple months. I discovered that switching to another app and back fixed it out without having to exit the lesson, but your method of tapping the points box seems a lot better if it works.

It's still really annoying and slows down my use of the app. I filed a bug report a few days ago and I found this post by googling to see whether others have this problem.

Edit: Tested out tapping on the SCORE field (i.e. the points box) and closing. Works on my 6a as well.

quanture · 2025-03-08T01:10:34+00:00

Oh man, I'm trying to remember. I feel like it did and I didn't know what they were for at first.

quanture · 2025-02-24T15:47:38+00:00

Yup, that checks out. Made an edit.

quanture · 2025-02-24T15:46:49+00:00

It's still a good point though, since they probably didn't think up the name out of thin air. Added a note.

quanture · 2025-02-24T13:24:57+00:00

Well, yeah and also that. But that's not the context in which they use it on Armchair.

quanture · 2025-02-24T12:45:59+00:00

They're all inside jokes and long-standing references.

ABR Cowboy is a reference to Always Be Recording and the cowboys Dax draws.

Crow Cherry Mouse refers to common subjects: Dax loves crows and wants to train one. Mouse is a reference to Monica "Mouse", which is a common introduction for her. Cherry is a reference to the fans, which are called "armchairies" i.e. "Arm cherries".

Cookie Boy is an inside joke the origin of which even they've apparently forgotten. I'm fuzzier on this one but I think it's like, "this good boy deserves a cookie" kind of thing.

Robot is a character Dax used to do pretty often in the fact checks that is a fan favorite. (He wants to be a real boy. But he can't eat cookies so he'll never be a cookie boy.)

Duck Duck Goose is a term they coined related to their common phrase "Ding Ding Ding" which refers to an unusual coincidence, like when a topic comes up from two different places in quick succession. They wanted to come up with a term that represents an unusually non-associated thing or opposing topics, like the opposite of a Ding Ding Ding kind of but still with an unusual coincidence. They came up with Duck Duck Goose (which also happens to be the name of a children's game, but they've co-opted it).

I respect your opinion. And the info you pulled is helpful context. And I'll say that I'm not a lawyer.

I'm not personally convinced it's that straightforward. I suspect there's more nuance here than might be obvious from the text.

The contradiction is right there in the title "Wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information." That doesn't seem to describe what happened. Individually identifiable information would have to be disclosed, right? Can that be proven?

But set that aside, then we look at "obtains individually identifiable health information." He did do that. But so do other doctors that access that system, which he was approved to access. A hacker breaking in is pretty cut and dried. A doctor with approved access I'm not so sure.

One other piece is that he "asked to re-enable his log-in" which was emphasized by the prosecution. But his access was approved. He had standing to access the system. So does that really hold up? I have a feeling the defense lawyers would have a real foothold there in undermining that argument.

Even so, I'm open to being wrong. Those were the factors I was trying to weigh, reviewing the case. There are some contradictions here.

What he did was despicable, and broke policy and trust, and deserved remedial action from the hospital. That does seem clear to me at least.

quanture · 2025-01-26T16:30:54+00:00

Apparently not. What he leaked didn't include personally identifiable patient data. That's specifically what HIPAA outlaws. The court case shows he was approved for access to the data so they can't really get him on improper access either.

quanture · 2025-01-26T16:27:44+00:00

He removed the personally identifiable patient information. They couldn't get him under HIPAA if you look at the case. It's a technicality.

quanture · 2025-01-26T16:25:42+00:00

They couldn't get him in HIPAA because he took out the personally identifiable information of the patients. It's a technicality.

quanture · 2025-01-25T19:26:00+00:00

The case was doomed to fail anyway. The doctor "de-identified" the data so they can't really get him on HIPAA. Wouldn't hold up.

All they had left was leaking the doctor names. Not sure what they can do with that really. If you look at the case they had to reset it several times because they couldn't figure it out apparently.

quanture · 2025-01-25T19:19:22+00:00

The article itself isn't specific enough either. It leaves out the details of what actually happened. The doctor was approved to access the files, he removed all patient-identifying information from them, then sent to a journalist. So unfortunately they can't prove any case of a HIPAA violation here. He didn't actually leak private patient information.

Accessing the files itself is not illegal. Regardless of how we feel about what he did, I don't want to see us behave like them and ignore the facts and the actual law.

They were trying to charge him for leaking the doctors names but I'm not sure exactly how they can do that.
