I had suspected something fishy with my new Apple Magic Touchpad. I checked the polling rate, and it was only 100 Hz. Apple, why? All this month, I thought something was wrong with my fingers. Why are you saving pennies on a $150 product? I know why. You hate your customers.

Steam Deck has made my life so much easier. If I need to figure out how to run a game on my Linux box, I just simply Google ‘Steam Deck’ and the game name, e.g., ‘Steam Deck Roblox.’

Why does every time I join #anime IRC they talk about OpenBSD or FreeBSD?

Programming in C++ can give you interesting insights sometimes. Once I googled std::list, I learned a lot that wasn’t related to C++.

It feels like someone is working really hard to piss me off and make me quit. So… you will have to explicitly fire or layoff me.

Just talking to myself like a crazy person, because it is radio silence from the leadership, no questions are being answered.

Linux Kernel 6.6 was released two days ago. You know what that means? Linux Kernel 6.6.6 is coming soon. I am planning to celebrate the release at the small family gathering with candles.

Lately, I discovered glances - a really nice-looking substitute for the top tool.

Long COVID update: Chest pain is gone. I thought it was the main reason why I couldn’t make myself do things. And I feel normal, but still can’t make myself work. Strange, but at least there’s no pain.

Is it ethical to lie to the bot, or to the LLM?

ChatGPT

Lying to a bot, such as ChatGPT or any other LLM (language learning model), presents a different set of ethical considerations than lying to humans. Her…

I have a protocol, then I put my laptop in the backpack. I put the charging cable first, then the mouse, and lastly the laptop. The reason I am doing this is so I don’t forget the charging cable and mouse. And it happened. This weekend, I put the charging cable in my backpack and…

The Visual Studio editor is cursed. Why does pressing Enter not do what it should, and why does it indent the code and indent it incorrectly? Why does backspace not delete one space, but instead delete everything to the beginning of the line? Why is the editor blinking so much? H…
