Finally started playing Halo: Campaign Evolved! It’s super good. Great art style, faithful map design. But, the new voice acting is way over-acted, just like Infinite. And the ring diameter is weirdly small. Plays great on Xbox Series S.

Idahoan 🥔 living in Finland 🇫🇮, working at Hamina Wireless. CWNE #233. I'm into old computers, retro videogames, 3D printing, and fixing stuff.
Every time I look at the news and social media, I'm driven further and further from wanting to return to Idaho from Finland. Wildfires, shootings, unsustainable growth, the influx of right-wing extremism, horrible government overreach... I feel like the Idaho I loved doesn't exist anymore. 💔🥔
Two different friends have texted me this week, excitedly telling me that they're about to buy a Bambu. I hate that the most polished and affordable 3D printer is also from one of the worst companies.
#Pebble app update! I've released World Clock 1.1, which adds: 🪨 Pebble Time 2 support ☀️ Day/night icons 🕒 Improved layout and animations for Pebble Time Round RePebble App Store: apps.repebble.com/world-clock_... Rebble App Store: apps.rebble.io/en_US/applic...
I'm having all kinds of fun with UI and pixel art on #Pebble, but figuring out a round UI is proving to be a challenge.
I'm super stoked for House House! But, very sad that it isn't on Nintendo Switch, which is what our entire family is still on.

If you just finished a site survey with Hamina Onsite, but you forgot to enable Broadcast AP Names, good news! You can fix it by adding a few point surveys. Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1d9...

This week I was at a networking event in Oslo. A Wi-Fi engineer at my table, having no idea about the history of Pebble past 2016, pointed at my watch and said, “Hang on. Is that a… Pebble? Why does it look so new?” The PT2 design clearly has classic #Pebble DNA! Nice work, @ericmigi.com!
Thinking about UI adjustments for low-resolution Pebbles (144x168) and #Pebble Time 2 (200x228). It’s tempting to just bump fonts by a few sizes (pictured), but I’m leaning towards bumping fonts by only one size, and increasing data density a bit. PT2 sure is a joy to wear. Nice work @ericmigi.com!
The fact that Slack uses Command + Shift + U to paste hyperlinks instead of Command + K is absolutely and completely diabolical. I'm amazed that they've gotten away with that.
What are people using for offline file storage and archival these days? I'd like to have something I can write to, stick on a temperature-stable shelf (maybe have two copies in two places), and then come back to in decade if I need it. Use case: FCP libraries that I *think* I won't need again.
From the archives: A prototype WLAN Pi NEO2 leave-behind sensor in 2020. It had two Wi-Fi adapters and a PoE splitter. I meant to intro it at WLPC, but forgot to pull it out from under the podium at the end of my talk. It got pretty hot, and took a long time to print, so I never released it.
From the archives: 3D printing back in 2013 with Printrbots. We didn't have fancy stuff like auto leveling. We had wood! 3D printers made of actual wood! And we had to walk uphill in the snow, too! Both ways!

I work for a good company. Nice people. Great product. My industry has a bunch of great people with lots of friends. But making videos, speaking at conferences, being the "community guy"... I don't think I can do it anymore. Some negative people, tough competitors, and monotony leave me exhausted.
Claude by @anthropic.com was/is my favorite LLM, but they shut off our entire company weeks ago with no explanation. They finally replied to our messages saying they would turn it back on, but it's been another week and... nothing. Most of the company is giving up and switching to other tools. ☹️
I am doing a massive project to consolidate my locally-stored photos (plain filesystem), Google Photos, and Apple Photos to Immich, with photos dating back to the early 2000's. The hardest part has been timestamps. So many of my photos lack EXIF data.
From the archives: the gauge cluster on my SV650S. That was (and still is) one of my dream bikes.
Something I don't understand about Europe: WhatsApp. It's ugly and controlled by a US-based company, and both Signal and Telegram are _right there_. I just don't get it.
Why, why, WHY does Slack not use Command + K to make a link?! What product manager decided to do that?!
That feeling when you update a DNS entry that should take 24 hours to propagate, and it starts working in about 30 seconds.

To me, the worst thing about vintages Macs are StuffIt archives. I never seem to have the right version of StuffIt on my machine. I wonder what is the minimum viable version of StuffIt is that would give the maximum compatibility across various System and Mac OS versions?
