In this clip, i install some APH programs from my childhood! Mathflash, and Talking typer! I had some technical issues, making this take longer than expected! I only used the trial versions, as i don't have a key, however, that dosn't detract from the fun anyways! First, i look at Mathflash. I suck at math, so i got that over with as quickly as possible, inorder to not imbarrass myself.
The second program in the cue was my favorite APH program, Talking Typer! The vertual nightmare of almost every child that used it! I think i can say i have more respect for it than i had 7 years ago! I played some hurry scurry, and failed misserably, yet seemed to have a good time reguardless of that. I also discovered that the go, application, and tools menus work in the trial version on older versions of Windows, compared to my experience on Windows 11, when i left it unregistered. None of the menus showed, leaving me to believe that they updated the program for modern windows at some point. It turns out, they did back in 2020, and they did post about that on there official youtube channel.
You can find it hear.

Anyways, hope you enjoy! I am getting the netbook today, so, i think i am done with the VM stuff for a while. Givin that the netbook is a lot more interesting than just messing with a VM. It's real hardware, and i am so excited!

Privacy Washing is Big Tech's latest strategy to lull you into their sphere.
Don’t fall for Big Techs fake “we care about your privacy” claims.
Privacy Washing:
❌ Destroys trust
❌ Puts your data at risk
❌ Delays real protections

I've finally just submitted the RFC series for USB3 support on Apple Silicon machines. RFC because the entire Type-C machinery spans multiple subsystems and has quite a few quirks which makes the entire thing rather annoying to deal with and I'm not 100% convinced about the current approach.
This also includes some initial work for DisplayPort-altmode and USB4/Thunderbolt but both will require much more work after this is upstream, so don't get your hopes up just yet.
Here's a lovely article about Randy Rhoads from our friends at @GuitarWorld:

One thing I didn't know is Randy triple-tracked his solos. WTF? Who can play that consistently? Well, surely Fripp, and Randy too I reckon.

ČSOB a její dceřinky vytvořily tak komplexní systém služeb, že po deseti letech, kdy tam máme hypotéku, vůbec netuším, co za služby tam vlastně platíme. Pokud tenhle screenshot chápu správně, tak jsme přišli o 0.2 procentního bodu ze slevy na vedení účtu a pojištění.
Fun fact: ČSOB má pojišťovnu, ale pojištění auta k půjčce, co jsme brali na Teslu kvůli dotaci, nám dali od Kooperativy.
Příští měsíc doplatíme Teslu, v dubnu 2026 hypo a pápá.

Interesting new Google paper released today:
“Measuring the environmental impact of delivering AI at Google Scale”
services.google.com/fh/files/m…
Apparently, “the median energy consumption for a Gemini Apps text prompt in May 2025 is 0.24 Wh.”, which is down 33x from May 2024.
This is equivalent to watching TV for a few seconds.

Oh no, the consensus opinion seems to be that people hate the Ribbon UI, so maybe that isn't as successful a design ethos at is seems.
I really wish there was more funding for extensive scientific user studies to hone UI development, as a lot of designers seem to be unteathered to feedback, so all the hard work to create a logical, consistent set of principals, ends up not being effective because it isn't tested enough against how real people use things (both newbies and seasoned users with more expectations).
Most UI development these days happens with web apps, and there doesn't seem to be HIG for web apps as respected as the old IBM CUA or Mac HIG, every company seems to be learning UI design from scratch because the web platform allows you to design _anything_ without many guardrails.
@raven667 "the consensus" of whom? Mastodon?
I strongly recommend watching that presentation to understand the enormous amount of data Microsoft had and used to design and iterate on it.
