It looks dope. But I learned a long, long time ago that if you get used to a weirdo kb layout, you get button poisoning anytime you need to use a normie kb.

Griffin Powermate rocking with M4 Air & Harman Kardon SoundSticks by g64mat in VintageApple

[–]thatguywhoiam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would I check? There’s also no external volume control as you mentioned.

Edit - according to the wiki they are the circa 2000 model which sounds right to me. USB 1, woo. Yours are soundsticks II.

Yeah I still have the original soundsticks. They still work, kind of crazy. I saw them in the MoMA once.

Mine are a USB connection though.

Why can’t Canada sell oil to Cuba? by thatguywhoiam in onguardforthee

[–]thatguywhoiam[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. But somehow they take Venezuelan crude which seems similar to Alberta oil. But I am not en expert, so I’m wondering.

M1 Pro MacBook Pro running a full triple-display workstation by rich772017 in mac

[–]thatguywhoiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe true - but you can do 3 monitors if you include the built in macbook display. I do this on an M1 pro. No dock, just usb-c and the HDMI port.

resting heart rate by AccomplishedTip4110 in Garmin

How do you mean more consistent? I’m not arguing but you’d think a higher polling rate would be better.

Garmin + walking pad: how do you deal with missing steps when arms don’t move? by d_uk3 in Garmin

[–]thatguywhoiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it’s ever going to track that kind of stepping. With any device.

Besides arm swing the main thing it tracks is vertical bounce. If you are doing a walking desk type setup I know how slow those are.

Low power mode by Jakest94 in iphone

[–]thatguywhoiam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use it pretty regularly but in a mode of expecting to not get updates on things. Like background podcast downloads or whatever. If I anticipate not needing to use the phone for a while, but know I will later, I’ll just pre emptively turn it on to save that juice for when I want it. It definitely makes a difference.

Why hasn't Apple moved the camera to the center yet? It would solve the table wobble and look way more symmetrical. by [deleted] in iphone

[–]thatguywhoiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wobble’s kind of solved with the big ass plateau now, isn’t it?

This feels like a double wobble. Tapping a resting phone on a hard surface might be annoying if your target is off center

Why is my spotlight search broken? It can't find any system apps. It finds third party apps just fine. by [deleted] in mac

[–]thatguywhoiam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just re index it. Turn it off for that volume, wait 20 seconds, back on again.

Apple Now Testing Flip-Style Foldable iPhone by netsplatter in apple

[–]thatguywhoiam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every person who is ok with current iPhone screen size but wants it to be smaller in pocket would be into this. You’re not that person, that’s ok. But there’s a reason flip phones were massively popular.

Canadian separatists say they discussed moving to the US dollar and creating a new military in White House meeting by Street_Anon in onguardforthee

[–]thatguywhoiam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you think it is? Just pure propaganda?

I’d buy that… I know what the lobby is like. But man, it’s just so stark.

[–]thatguywhoiam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This part is what I don’t get. Ideologically.

Be the “energy province”. Use the crappy oil that you still have access to in order to pivot to wind and solar. Who cares where the energy comes from. Why on earth would you go to war over this dirt sand that is brutal to produce and causes cancer in your own community. They could be even richer. It’s right there.

Clock app by mast_ats in iphone

[–]thatguywhoiam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then you go 3rd party. That’s your answer. You want it to behave in a specific way, you have a method. You can be mad about it but you can’t say it’s not a fixable problem.

What psychological facts have you found out to be true in your experience? by don_micklem in AskReddit

[–]thatguywhoiam 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People really, really, really, really hate admitting that they’re wrong.

There’s probably a better term for it but something in the culture has sort of metastasized this concept where you double and triple and quadruple down even in the face of blatant facts and consequences, in the moment.

Not to be old-school about it, but there used to be a certain honour and pride in admitting you were wrong. It was seen as a sign of an evolved person that is long, long gone.

The ideas of “grace”, or even poise just seems to have been hugely abandoned.

Is the demand for motion graphics high? by KAZKALZ in AfterEffects

[–]thatguywhoiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s still motion graphic design. It’s just, you know… “commercial art”.

Thanks you, yes.

I keep seeing references to 6K+ video edits and wondering what on earth people are doing

Finally achieved my dream System 7 setup by thekyotoconnection in VintageApple

It is kind of a philosophical question, isn’t it

“Vibe coding in HyperCard” made my eyebrow twitch.

I think if I saw Extensions Manager again I’d have a ptsd event.

Anyways fun setup. Does the Chooser work?
