Hey @madebygoogle @googlefi - Can you clarify: According to the T&C, the new plan can be cancelled at any time, yes? So why is it a 60-month term? I see it's non-renewable, so is 60mo. effectively the max length of coverage? Just want to be 100% sure I'm not locked into a…

Not sure if you're aware, @JetBlue, but there's a bug in your app that continues to give notifications for cancelled flights. (I cancelled this one yesterday, in the app. And afterwards the app showed no pending trips. I have the refund in my travel bank, so I definitely can't…

I know @YouTube isn't too stupid to understand how time works, so I've long wondered if using floor() to estimate dates is a strategic decision to trick users into believing content is fresher than it is, or some other 9000 IQ move that I'm not considering. Because I think any…

The reassembly was a success! Looks good as new, other than the scratches on the screen. 😬 (I hadn't put the sides/strap back on in the pic, but that was easy enough.) I did remember to replace the copper tape over the wiring harness, but uh... kinda had two screws…

New video up: A full teardown of a reproduction Star Trek: TOS tricorder from The Wand Company! (And also a quick look at an AM/FM radio from Japan that would make a decent triocorder prop.) youtube.com/watch?v=updJjL… #tricorder #TheWandCompany #StarTrek #StarTrektos

New video on two disappointing USB PSUs: One from UGREEN and a no-name "700W" piece of garbage. Well, it actually did work, and wasn't completely awful. If it was marketed as a 200W PSU, I at least wouldn't call it garbage. The UGREEN wasn't bad, but required a very specific…

It looks like you can use a generic USB-C touchscreen monitor with a Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2 after the new firmware support for the PYXIS Monitor. (Also a look at the PYXIS and adding WiFi to the BMMSC G2). youtu.be/-cGBQrV702o

I went to add videos to a YT playlist, and weirdly got a 3rd party cookie notification for docs.google.com before it would let me see a list of videos. Not a security concern, just weird that YT is hosting some elements off of the Docs infrastructure, and in the years…

Lemme rewrite this for you, @PSEGLI - "When you need power the most, we're not confident that we can provide it! Our customers -- just like you! 😀 -- pay some of the highest rates nationwide for electricity, yet when you want to run your air conditioners, we want you to stop!…

I'm sprucing things up in the studio (basement), which includes removing most light stands and tripods. They'll be attached to the ceiling instead, and with that comes re-wiring everything. This one is mostly about an adapter box for 4-pin XLR to 3 barrel jacks:…
