@spion try listening to satellite radio, it is an utter abomination. 64kbps IF EVEN THAT. Ear bleed territory.

@spion "Full disclosure: My coworkers have had great experiences with Bluetooth audio on both Android phones and W1-enabled Apple devices." Problem.. solved. We were never talking about Windows PCs, and you know it.

@rseymour so carry a tiny usb-c to headphone dongle for those specific cases. problem solved.

@spion that's from 2015 my friend

@kwiens this is the only good take

@spion apparently iPhone X and Galaxy 8 shipped with this? So we're one model on from that already.

@spion and https://t.co/avVmkvLxKV

@spion e.g. https://t.co/tuGr2U6b47

@spion that's fair, but as I understood it, the last 2 years' phone models got this fairly right?

@augustocdias oh no.. not a tiny dongle.. a fate truly worse than death!

@jwz @e_w @facts_hedgehog @Carnage4Life I'm sorry, I can only accept this tweet on a 1.44MB floppy disk. In the meantime, vote with your wallets.. and good luck, 'cause you're gonna need it! https://t.co/maDZ8K2VYw

@e_w @facts_hedgehog @jwz @Carnage4Life sort of, just like removing the floppy disk drive was a way to "drive upgrades in your ecosystem". I agree with the direction; wires need to die.

@grv_pt untrue! Retina benefits all. More pixels does not equal smaller, that's old world thinking.

@mathowie I LOL'ed at the "make it Hey Dude" bit

@lizardbill inflation is a bitch

@Carnage4Life I think only people in leadership positions can cause that much damage by staying, VP or 1000+ people under them

@scottwasson 144hz? Peasant. Real pro players need 200Hz to be competitive.

@Carnage4Life This feels more like the Uber story to me, where a bad leader consolidates power and stays

@keerthiko @_lanzz_ Yes, having the stat enables things like this. What you can’t do is measure read time of the off-site Atlantic article being discussed, though...

@jwz @FartKno85366735 @Carnage4Life do companies really BOTHER with copy-protected music these days? There's no money in it... even a *decade* ago .. https://t.co/eu7i4griuk

@facts_hedgehog @jwz @Carnage4Life I have a feeling there's a pretty high correlation betweens "loves wires" and "does not vote with their wallet particularly often", so the market is going to sort this out

@jwz @Carnage4Life that's fair, but people also hate wires, and they are right to do so.

@jwz @Carnage4Life yeah, there's no future in this wireless stuff. People loooove wires. That's just a fact, jack!

@jwz @Carnage4Life bring back the floppy disk!!

@paulg (scene cut to me throwing boxed collection of Art of Computer Programming into a dumpster)

@paulg have you read this? It's really really fun https://t.co/IGfvGFlFVF

@madgen_ @szferi They did actually cover this. People need to disclose that they are being paid to advertise something. Beyond that I agree their responsibility basically ends.

@textfiles KYLE SMITH HAS IDEAS

@DavidsonSousa it's worth seeing both for perspective, the Jerry Media guys are quite complicit

The ultimate scam is that Jerry Media, who were arguably most responsible for the incredibly effective social media promotion of Fyre, worked with Netflix to produce their documentary. The final and most cynical gesture of all. Failure, success, who cares? They win either way.

"There is, essentially, a Fyre Festival going on every day in the west wing." "One of the safest ways of making money in America is to get really good at exploiting people and to treat everyone like a mark: Anna Delvey, Elizabeth Holmes, Billy McFarland."

"If you've never been out on bail before, that's the time in your life where you wanna be committing the least number of crimes." 🤣

whoa whoa whoa. This is the Fyre guy demoing "Spling" in 2011? https://t.co/QLMBCpXq48

One down, one to go! America sure does 💘 its con men (stares balefully at the current US administration)

@deadprogrammer morbidity is beautiful too!

@shog9 @ManishEarth as previously noted, other languages also have their own local related ecosystems e.g. QQ and so on with their own native tools that already exist. So it's even more complex.

@JeffAlyanak there's a literal universe of better ways than this, for sure 🌈

Nobody likes or wants sycophants... but jumping from that to straight up insults? https://t.co/QilaR1oRTG

@leahculver https://t.co/HE7dnQIKlk

@lizardbill @thorpeta17 Fucking Rosebud.

@alexhillman follow the setup wizard, those are the most essential setup steps. Most other stuff is highly situational.

@splattne you mean SATAN'S "CHOCOLATE"

@JohnONolan I would say their computer/tech recommendations have been consistently on-point for me, and I am pretty picky about that stuff. So maybe the camera people they use just suck?

@dsteele713 there's even a Purge TV series!!

@JohnONolan what's a good example of?

Upgrade (2018) was quite good though. That and The Purge (2013) would have both been excellent Black Mirror episodes.

@the_nomi Super cool art, thank you for sourcing this!

@tobermatt 👏👏👏👏

@textfiles You brought this on yourself

@Xowap That was my first mistake

If you are thinking maybe you will reply arguing that white chocolate is good.. umm.. yeahhh.. (sips from coffee cup) I’m gonna need you to go on ahead and block yourself from my timeline.. that’d be terrific. Thanks a bunch. https://t.co/LflbkMxYKb

@Gryzor @Inconcinnus You need a pet trash panda in your life

@paulg @TheRoyalTbomb @ArlanWasHere The “you are either with us or in the way” framing was not a good idea

"Where hardware support for AES exists, AES is faster than Adiantum; AES must still be used where its performance is above 50 MiB/s. In Android Q, Adiantum will be part of the Android platform [and required]" https://t.co/qH6auTXLKR

Our generation's moon shot, I guess, was/is the Internet? That's a remarkably inward looking moon shot, the polar opposite of going to the moon, or flying 5.9 billion passengers across the globe.

@the_nomi no idea, came up in a random google search

@eviltrout lolwut giant engines to move the entire Earth? looollll

@jarrod_dixon @kevinmontrose DON'T MESS, GENTLEMEN

You can correct for fisheye in software, too. I wonder why this isn't a built in filter or option in the OS? https://t.co/2AvkRxAjNM https://t.co/fdJm3ezXBZ

Also, the 2x optical zoom isn't as helpful as you would think in addressing this, either.

@SwiftOnSecurity @Nick_Craver @sklivvz @m0sa @jarrod_dixon you'll see more pixels 100% of the time. As long as it's an either/or, favor resolution at constant 60fps unless you literally livestream Fortnite as your day job. But yeah, if we can deliver 8k at 300fps, sure.. go for it.

@scottmichaud @SwiftOnSecurity @Nick_Craver @sklivvz @m0sa @jarrod_dixon I'd rather have higher resolution, which is visible 100% of the time, rather than a marginal improvement vs 60fps in mouse cursor / window movement, which is visible a tiny fraction of the time. But if we could have 300fps 8k, sure, go for it.

@SwiftOnSecurity @Nick_Craver @sklivvz @m0sa @jarrod_dixon It reminds me of the "you need a thousand watt PSU" gamer crew a bit. Because bigger numbers are better, right? Protip: no, and you don't.

@SwiftOnSecurity @Nick_Craver @sklivvz @m0sa @jarrod_dixon it's "this is a bigger number, therefore it must be better" wankery. Can > 60fps be useful? Sometimes, maybe in VR with the displays right up against your eye grapes. But in general? Nah. Number wankery.

@grego @migueldeicaza yaeh you gotta stick with this one, trust me. One of the best shows I've ever watched and so unlike all the others.

@longzheng yes! it also stuck the landing!!

@SwiftOnSecurity @Nick_Craver @sklivvz @m0sa @jarrod_dixon You don’t need 144Hz. Gamer bro nonsense.

@danudey @sarahjeong I figure this HAD to be regular SMS, nothing else makes sense. So maybe his girlfriend had Android?

@sarahjeong This also implies the messages had to sent from android to iOS or vice-versa, because iOS to iOS would be iMessage and thus end to end encrypted. And previous Bezos tweets said “from iPhone”

@sarahjeong I read it as telco level interception, I suppose it is possible the telcos were hacked? SMS is not end to end encrypted, so in theory he could have avoided this by using WhatsApp or Signal?

@TrevMcKendrick @jwz give him a break, he runs a nightclub which is a stupidly hard business to be in. But then he did opt into that .. 🤔

@C3yoyodesign @rewind_shibuya @rewindyoyo @rewindworldwide @YoYoExpert ah yes I have heard of this site 😉 😘

@C3yoyodesign @rewind_shibuya @rewindyoyo @rewindworldwide will Astraea be available in USA or europe yo-yo stores ever?

@waxpancake the coding part of this didn't work at all for me, it felt super tacked-on. Unless they're planning to elaborate in season 2 on it somehow..

@splattne @waxpancake Happy Death Day (2017) is also worth watching. Sequel's about to come out.

@eli_schiff @css I think flat will certainly evolve, but if anyone thinks we're going for baroque like in iOS 6 or whatever, no way in hell https://t.co/f0MuacyhXI

@eli_schiff @css this is like that time an old girlfriend told me "you don't even know what love is." I'm so ashamed.

@krisselden it's also so heavy! What is the nature of existence? What does it mean to lose someone?

@css I would bet strongly against that, but we'll see

@deNutrients @pmkoom @paulg Twitter also super-sucks for any kind of nuance, or really conversation in general.

@sarahjeong perhaps storing the nude selfies on your phone or the cloud should be stigmatized though? We need like a 1password app for nude selfies or something

@susanthesquark have you seen all the good grifter movies? Especially .. "The Grifters" (1990)

@DocPop .. and the floppy disc!! (shakes fist)

@pmkoom @paulg The opposite extreme is also bad, but people will accept blind adulation unquestioningly. And they shouldn’t.

@paulg People who reflexively agree with whatever a person says ... aren’t interesting. Disagreement isn’t trolling.

@paulg Ultimately, who cares what trolls say? Focus on the work. If trolls distract you from the work, they are winning.

@paulg I dunno man, I was cynically dismissing the heck out of Theranos for a while https://t.co/AXNiDnigPM

@sh4na @haacked I was gonna say it looks like Keanu is there!

All worth it though, to end up on the cover of the proverbial Rolling Stone! https://t.co/WnYz0eU3to

Did they include any actual hacking? Oh hellll no of course not. That'd be boring. You log in with anything, and then the CIA dramatically interrupts your 300bps terminal to announce that you're the best hacker in the world 😎 https://t.co/HOre9o8eCp

BUT! there was a sequel! https://t.co/36eyDmRcSL

"Congratulations! Our computer security is useless! USELESS!" https://t.co/x7daq5N9aZ

It starts off promisingly enough (see video). Then you start "hacking" and the security "system" crashes immediately and grants you full access 🙄 https://t.co/41XjxcFI4Q

There was also a boss key, here's what it showed when you pressed it. Full screen of course. https://t.co/uJJePW8tpv

@nicksdjohnson well, beginner ASCII. A=1.

"Some of the features are lame. One feature is the "Reality" mode. It is basically a pop-up window that appears at a random time and pretends that it's your kid brother or your parents try to harass you on the computer. It's pretty stupid." 🤣

@dakami that's not really the meaning of "coding horror", though https://t.co/0gbDz0Xotg

@ScottRFrost @Joe_Stover Seems like it's working fine in Colorado. Thanks for sharing that article! It really showed the way forward is proper regulations.

@ScottRFrost @Joe_Stover The solution, as indicated in the very article you cited.. is more regulation, not less. See the section about Colorado.
