I'm happy to announce the RetroTap will be releasing on September 3rd. RetroTap is a 9V, 5V power distribution system that powers up to 11 retro consoles, compatible with 45+. It replaces aging, bulky wall warts with a simplified, modern, central power solution. kytor.com/store/produc... /1

I've been doing a “mostly Linux” experiment this past month. I installed Fedora GNOME on my former Windows laptop & dual booting on my desktop. I'm still using Windows and macOS as needed, but Linux has been surprisingly easy to live in so far. Excited to keep learning and exploring!

Having a 3D printer has been the best for building my retro game collection. Custom cartridge storage, controller stands, and tons of little accessory mounts. I’ve just been blown away with the community and the sheer amount of published models already solving everything I’ve searched for.

Huh yesterday’s public release of iOS 26 seems to be getting a few stutters here and there on my 16 Pro Max—didn’t encounter that on the beta or dev preview channels.

Fujifilm speedrun’d fixing a bug in only like 550 days, finally fixed the ol’ camera not compatible with Xapp issue for people who ran the iOS 18 beta and have been in Xapp purgatory since then.

The Analogue Pocket got me replaying Pokémon Red the last few weeks and reliving the feeling of childhood afternoons spent with my Game Boy. Now I'm going to have to find somewhere to keep all these Game Boy cartridges I'm finding myself with. 😅

Holding the Analogue Pocket while playing Pokémon Red; the character sprite stands on a path with trees on either side, with bookshelves and collectibles in the background.

I guess I’ve just been in e-ink brain space for months now without even realizing it. One I haven’t mentioned yet that I’m so hyped for is @usetrmnl.com—excited to dive into making some fun little apps for it like I did with Tidbyt. Is 2025 the year of e-ink for me? 😅
