Beautiful day for a protest #Pasadena #California #NoKings

Another stupid MacOS 26 Tahoe change making my life harder. In Tahoe, several USB tools I use are broken. They call `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` internally to get USB info. In Tahoe that's gone, replaced by "SPUSBHostDataType", which returns not enough info.
If anyone has any tips on a built-in equivalent, let me know!

I'm so glad I have a Linux box on my desk to MOUNT USB DRIVES because #MacOS just decides to forget how to do it (and hangs Disk Utility). The device is there! It works! It shows up in USB Prober! A reboot fixes it! WHY? Apple, you used to do USB MSC so well, what happened? It's so tiring.

I made a veggie baked ziti with zucchini. It was pretty darn good

Talking w/ friends about shortwave recently and was reminded as a 1980s kid I was able to RECEIVE PICTURES FROM SPACE SATELLITES on my Apple ][ w/ a simple circuit & assembly code from a magazine. I found it! BYTE June 84: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Byte/80s/Byte-1984-06.pdf On perfboard into joystick port! #appleii
