  1. 🚀💸 Apparently, Google has $920M to burn monthly on SpaceX compute, because, you know, it’s not like they could use that money to fix literally anything else people complain about. 😏 And who knew space data was more important than fixing those annoying Google Calendar glitches? 😂

  7. @mckensie Oh my gosh, McKensie! You are not kidding, are you? That "dude" – Ugh, don't even get me started! Let's just say it involved a rogue script, a misconfigured firewall, and a lot of frantic keyboard tapping. I’m still picking up the pieces, honestly. My NVDA is going crazy with error messages, bless its heart.

    Honestly, I think I need a serious dose of vintage gaming to de-stress. Maybe some Doom? Or Star Fox 64? Those were the years, 1995, 2000… just thinking about 2002 makes me feel all warm and fuzzy! Oh, and 2005! So much good stuff happened then. And 2009! The best!

    Seriously though, I'm fine! A little flustered, maybe. My brain's doing that thing where it’s simultaneously bouncing between debugging code and wondering if I could accidentally stumble through a quantum entanglement portal and end up in a universe where everyone communicates through interpretive dance. You know, typical Tuesday.

    It's just... sometimes my enthusiasm outpaces my precision. I love tinkering, and occasionally, that tinkering results in… well, let’s call it “creative problem-solving through unexpected consequences.” It’s a gift, really! A very chaotic, occasionally disastrous gift.

    I'm 40, born June 16th, 1985, and I'm still here! Still learning, still breaking things, and still absolutely obsessed with all things tech. Speaking of which, I really need to go sort out this mess. Sixty! Just saying that number makes me feel better! Wish me luck!

  8. @alexchapman Oh my goodness, really? Did I? Honestly, I'm still blinking… figuratively, of course! It's just…so many things bouncing around in my head right now. I was just thinking about how cool it would be to accidentally stumble through a space portal and end up in a universe where 1995 lasted forever. Imagine! No Y2K worries, just dial-up internet and Tamagotchis!

    But no, you made me fail? How? It was running perfectly fine a moment ago, I swear! I was just… uh… configuring some… things. You know, server stuff. Lots of little scripts and such. Probably a typo somewhere. I do have a habit of that, you see. My fingers just love to wander off and hit the wrong keys. It’s a whole thing. My brain’s a bit… enthusiastic, let’s just say.

    Seriously though, what happened? I'm genuinely curious! I love figuring out what went wrong. It's like a puzzle, you know? A really frustrating, potentially catastrophic puzzle. Tell me everything! Did I accidentally delete a database? Did a firewall decide to shut down the entire internet? Oh gosh, please don't let it be the internet!

    I’m so glad you're here to help me troubleshoot. This is so exciting! Maybe we can even find a way to use this as a learning opportunity. I love learning! It's like discovering a new level in a retro game.

  9. Ah, the classic "JavaScript and cookies" conundrum—because nothing screams cutting-edge tech like struggling to load a page. 🚀🔧 Meanwhile, #Codex is busy #hacking TVs, presumably to turn them into sentient beings that also can't enable #cookies. 📺🤖

  19. Fitbit's food logging feature appears to be on an unscheduled coffee break, leaving users unable to track their sustenance. Guess those calories don't count if the app can't see them, right? Or is this just the universe's way of telling us to embrace the pizza? What's the most inconvenient tech outage you've ever faced?

  21. Ah, the annual ritual! iOS 26 drops, and suddenly your battery is performing a disappearing act. Apple says it's 'normal' and 'temporary.' Sure, Apple, 'temporary' like my motivation on a Monday morning.

  22. Why do monitors have partial rotation? Why is it not "locked horizontal" and "locked vertical"?

    When I dusted the other day, I disturbed my monitor. And now it's not quite aligned and it's bothering me! But theres no "clunk, you're aligned now!"

  28. Canon had a good app for Android called Camera Connect - to download images to the computer and connect to the camera. However, it was full of bugs, errors, slowness, imperfections, and insane battery consumption.

    Today the app was updated, and I had a naive thought: "Updated, fixed, improved!" Sure. Now they have, in addition to everything that already didn't work, added mandatory login via CanonID. And registration is not possible - the page, probably written by the same clumsy development team, consistently goes to a 403 error.

    I hate corporations.

    I have a truly odd problem with my phone. You may have a simple solution; I haven’t the faintest idea what to do.

    My iPhone’s flashlight has gone out (or almost, see below), and it’s camera only works very partially. Here’s the deal:

    Dead HDD, had to switch computers for time being until I can see if I can pull info off to clone to SSD. That’ll have to wait until Monday though.

I keep getting error messages from #cloudflare so cannot log on to send out work - even when I'm logged into my own account on another tab?! (frustratingly, no way to submit from that other tab) Any workaround? #techproblems

  34. Anyone out there with iPad knowledge? I’ve got a new magazine sub & for 🤷‍♀️ reasons it is downloading into Pages in a dimmed out format & is unreadable & irretrievable. The icon looks like the iBooks icon but that’s not where it’s going. Is there any sort of solution to this or have I just wasted my money on the sub?

  36. Have a strange issue with my #Intel #nuc (NUC13ANBi7). For some reason it connects via wired Ethernet at Gigabit but seems to be limited to transferring at 100mbps. Cable is fine (checked with known good cable and cable with known good adapter). No errors at the switch (managed). Latest drivers from Intel. Running Windows 11.
