@jsnell Come get your Fedi post bot, it's gone rogue! 😬

AI can find bugs and flaws, but don't forget the cybersecurity basics

The leading cause of big breaches is failing to do the cybersecurity fundamentals.

I have to be unluckiest SOB in the "finally bought their first 3D printer in 2026" demo. Received an Anycubic Kobra X nearly a month ago and I'm still going back and forth with their CS people to figure out a malfunctioning Y-axis control path. To their credit they've been responsive and already sent a replacement motor (which did not fix the issue) but the inherent latency dealing with China comms and shipping is not helping. I just want to print my Boaty McBoatface, dammit!
PLAN.md is the new Makefile. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
JFC I had to make it to today years old to realize that the HHGTTG radio play theme is by the Eagles?! What even is happening.
New music note for the old 90s techno/electronica heads: apparently #808State and #Humanoid (pew pew-pew) released a joint EP in recent weeks: https://music.apple.com/us/album/in-place-of-language-ep/1877837521 Not disappointing at all. (Do I hear a clarinet in there somewhere?)

Who is Tom and what does shardware do

Turned a very narrow type of curiosity into fully implemented in the span of a day, again confirming that these robots aren't so much omniscient as they are able to do shit a lot faster than our own dumb wetware can.

The prompt was: given what we know about the implementation differences of the #AudioUnit API between #macOS and #iOS, figure out a way to port a given set of macOS-only AUv2 extensions to iOS-compatible #AUv3.

Less than 24 hours we cobbled together a templated porting pipeline that successfully handled my test target (#AirWindows) This is 300+ plugins, happily running on all common iOS/iPadOS AU hosts.

Of course I can't release any of it because as with most of my robot excursions they're usually entirely about personal productivity/utility. But I would have to think about posting the cleaned up plan dot md for others to play with, maybe 🤔
