Teen’s Bluetooth speaker named ‘BOMB’ caused a 10-hour delay on flight from Newark to Spain — passenger reported concerns to flight attendant at 32,000 feet, forcing plane back to the US

First day of [meteorological] summer and 90 degrees, speakers give up midway home. "Oh no. But I just had this thing serviced and it all checked out."

Well TIL with my little ODBII scanner that it was out of self-preservation. Heat was too high to sustain the speakers safely. This thing not only taught me more about my speakers in 5 minutes than enshittified searches did, but it also saved me probably $5k in getting an 11-point sound system replaced (for now). I knew I bought this little gadget for a reason.

So now I know to make sure it's cooler before I blast out The Prodigy at top volume. 😂

This afternoon at PyCon Italia 2026 I’m serving as talk manager in the “Gnocchi” room 🎤🍝

Right now I’m helping Aastha Asthana prepare her talk “Beyond Caching: Supercharging Python with Redis Data Structures”.

It’s always nice to help other speakers feel comfortable on stage, especially people giving one of their first talks, just like many others helped me years ago with mine ✨

Will be having to gain access to the completely inaccessible back of my extremely old amp to figure out what kind of tech I need to connect it to my tv.

Mirror, flashlight, possibly a step ladder, contortionism. Tools of the trade.
