  6. Ah, the classic tale of iPod Socks 🧦—because nothing screams "cutting-edge technology" like fabric sleeves for your obsolete #gadgets. Next, they'll be telling us to set a useragent to respect their sock puppet robots 🤖. Bravo, truly the pinnacle of innovation! 🙄

  7. #rant How to waste a nice sunday by installing legacy ProTools 12 on a legacy MacPro5,1 (a fast & reliable multicore video editing machine):

    • :neocat_angel_pleading: Install KarabinerElements for that PT keyboard … no, you can't have a ^ on it …
    • :neocat_bongo: Avid account deadname removal.
    • iLok USB dongle activation hassle.
    • :neocat_drake_like: Install ProTools. Studio environment & hardware assignment.
    • :neocat_facepalm: Import audio to make PT crash.
    • :neocat_drake_dislike: Reboot ffs & retry to make it crash again.
    • […]
    • :neocat_angry: Realise it took hours to fix countless glitches, configure and complete unsuccessfully.
    • Think of Avid forums gonna go like obsolete tech not being eligible for support other than mansplaining obvious capitalist realism b$ by the dudes … :neocat_facepalm:

    Should've switched to Bitwig years ago when told by longtime PT users … :neocat_evil_3c: After 10 years I'm done for good with Avid products and licensing politics.

  8. BRUSSELS — BOOK LAUNCH — 29.4.25

    → How to make books more sustainable? During this evening, Low-tech Magazine will present our "Compressed Book Edition", this time in Brussels, at Architecture Curating Practice's gallery.

    → Inspired by the image compression on its solar-powered website, Low-tech Magazine squeezed the article catalog of their three-volume chronological book series into just one book. Compressing the content — an editorial and design choice — produces a larger reduction in resource use than printing on recycled paper could ever do.

    🕰 18:30 Doors open
    19:00 Book presentation and introduction of Low-tech Magazine
    19:45 Q&A
    20:00 Book sale / snacks & drinks / discussion

    📌 Architecture curating practice,
    et al. architect-run space
    37 Rue des Tanneurs / Huidevettersstraat 137
    1000 Brussels

    (talk will be held in english)
