Last Notes npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I don't think this is my blanket anymore. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I joked just a couple of days ago that if Shatner outlived Sir Patrick I'd be writing a stern letter to the manager, so I guess I'd better go find a pen. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I keep seeing "sometimes the LLM is right" which means as much as "sometimes a random number is 4" and I'm so tired. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I feel like I've slipped into some alternate timeline again because I've never heard of this fucking ice cream before. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Gods help me I've installed Home Assistant. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…60xv if you were able to deliver the opposite version of this setting, or an option to follow the user's global settings instead of "make everything dark", I would sing your praises for life. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I hope Wikipedia is able to update their PHP installs pretty quickly in light of this massive bug. Imagine what'd happen if absolutely anyone on the internet could edit their pages. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Fuuuuucck I just did a really really dumb thing. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] The vegan banana muffin enhancement program continues! They're banana and date muffins now. Still extremely low effort, but this time I chopped the dates up and microwaved them in a dollop of golden syrup for a little bit before combining it all. Beautifully soft and sticky now! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…8cjr one of the worst changes for me personally is the TV app now shows the Subscriptions list alphabetically, not by recently updated - so when I'm sitting on the couch my viewing is going to favour channels starting with A, B, or C. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Imagine Star Trek replicators but they work at the speed of modern 3d printers so Picard says "Tea, Earl Grey, Hot" and comes back 12 hours later to find half a cup, random glass fibres everywhere, and tea dripping on the floor. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hope everyone's excited for the third annual "Take Your Kitchen Scales to Work Day" tomorrow! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Today Excel bugged me again to rate it, and when I tried it told me I was ineligible to submit a review. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I blame @nprofile…5p2v who said "Blue and White G3" to me recently, so when I saw a collection of matched accessories for one show up I needed to get it. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have far too many cucumbers for one person to consume in a timely fashion so I guess I'm learning to pickle things this weekend. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Computers were good enough to do everything we need them to do ten years ago. Everything since then is bullshit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I don't believe "despite" is quite the best word to use here but I'm not a money scientist. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Can't believe how easily we solved the issue of single use plastic bags by simply printing "reusable bag" on them. That's real outside-the-bag thinking. Top work, team! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] All your value are belong to goose npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] New keycaps for the keyboard at the Bad Screen desk, because I just cannot stop going "oooh" at things. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I'm so sick of this whole business where it's dark outside before it's even 6pm and I demand someone gets onto making the days longer immediately. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I found a companion piece a couple of blocks over, this one a commentary on how the detritus of capitalism has led us to turn our backs on nature. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I love a public art. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…u76z can we have a "Goat Farming for System Administrators" guide in the near future? I'm probably not the only one feeling like that's the most appealing career progression path. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] "You've got mail!" npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…8cjr I have to say, seeing the little rainbow and pride flags in the background of your videos is one of the main reasons I started supporting you on Patreon. ♥️ npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…8cjr got any BBS recommendations? :awesome: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Me: I will get started on the laundry first thing this morning. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…gr74 this is exceptional and unprecedented. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's been quite a day at the op shop. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] One antique chip posted from the UK, a small piece of tape, a tiny act of vandalism, and finally my Amiga has achieved a new level of hackery. One whole megabyte of chip RAM! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have a growing suspicion that war may be good for absolutely nothing, and I wish someone could have pointed this out to us at some point. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I know what kind of content you sickos want. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] This is a real time recording of my git server's web access logs. It's a constant stream of requests from "Claude" attempting to access every possible item on the site. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Message from my kid tonight saying they're on the verge of being "Linux-pilled" so I guess there's an exciting new era of family tech support coming ... npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…n5pu @nprofile…nrlp Quantum Leaf? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You can tell I'm a highly experienced systems admin because if I ever see anyone asking a technical question about running Linux on their computer, I immediately close my browser, walk away and pretend I didn't. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have been working at the data centre this morning, lifting and carrying boxes, installing hardware, and generally out in the world earning a dollar. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] :sickos: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Dear component manufacturers, please stop sending me a new tiny and shitty screwdriver with every purchase. Thank you. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Free chairs, anyone? I have two matched dining chairs and a small pink IKEA office chair that are surplus to requirements here. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I love that Cloudflare periodically provides us with examples to convey to the youngsters what it felt like when you were in the middle of chatting to your friends online in the 1990s, and someone picked up the phone. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] If you've ever wondered how important kerning can be, ask someone named Clint. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…u8q7 please help yourself freely to any images I post publicly! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Me: Where the hell is my grater? I'm sure it's here somewhere. Why can't I see it? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] One for the road. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Very excited to hear that Valve is finally giving us not only the "Year of Linux on the Desktop", but also the "Year of Linux on Your Face". npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mfuv being able to run at 800x600 reliably was an amazing relief at the time it finally became common. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…98cu No. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Today in Mike Uses a Mac Again, I'm struck by how weird it is to have iThings around me and not having to keep track of where The Special Apple Wire is. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Gonna make a wild guess that the answer to this question is "no" and save myself a click. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…y63h any local contacts over there you can point my colleague at @nprofile…d2rl ? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…h9yy @nprofile…8nxg are you hiring because I think I could truly excel in this field npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] This is my special box of USB cables. It's special because it has the magical ability to contain every single type of USB cable ever made, except for the one you're looking for right now. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] My NBN speed upgrade happened overnight, and I was very confused that my tests still peaked at around 90Mb instead of around 250 no matter what I reset or restarted. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have been using some variety of Linux based OS as my primary desktop computing environment for around 20 years and I have never and would never try to convince anyone else to do the same. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You tube. You pipe. You absolute cylinder. You've doomed us all. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Coming up in a week or so (because I have no idea how to price it) is an Amiga 500. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I'm going to list this Commodore 1701 monitor on eBay this weekend, starting at $350. If you're reading this and are in Melbourne, I will personally bring it to your door for that price. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Anyone looking for a pretty good IT support role in Sydney CBD, DM me for info. Same job that I do in Melbourne. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] You'd think that the opportunity to put a really bad pun on a big sign and carry it down the street would have a lot more dads showing up at protests, wouldn't you? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…yu7x how did you feel about Asteroid City? I wasn't expecting to like that as much as I did, so I've been cautiously optimistic about this one. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] not sure if I'm watching training videos for web dev or first aid at this point npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp looking forward to watching this one this evening when I get home! Not that I want to see you fail, but I love watching your process of forgiving things out. I've learned so much from your explanations and thinking out loud as you work, really helps put theoretical knowledge into context. ❤️ npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] For those of you unable to join us live, here's the moment! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] *hacker voice* I'm in. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] There's a Sun Microsystems branded server rack for sale in Abbotsford and will someone please go and get it and bring it to my house? Thanks. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] a very blessed Big Boat Stuck to all who celebrate npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…le8n I don't have a discord account so no that won't work. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…le8n I can't believe it's got links to a support discord channel but not an official BBS. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Stop helping Substack make money you dickheads. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] :sickos1: :sickos2: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey folks, what's the best format to supply for a self published ebook these days? My gut says EPUB should work with anything easily enough right? Is there any kind of desirable feature it's lacking? Don't intend any kind of DRM or anything, just something people can easily put on their dedicated book devices from their preferred supplier. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Reminder to everyone that you don't need a conclave. You are already a Pope! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…3sf2 it does come across tonally quite similar to "I'm sorry you were offended." npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…5f2h don't want anything for it, it's been sitting on a shelf for years. I want someone who wants it to have it! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have this and I don't know why I have it. Does anyone out there with a retro Mac network setup want it? It's opened, but unused and (I believe) complete so if you like old Mac stuff in boxes, you might enjoy it! Even has the original twist tie around the cable for you to untwist! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp you're making it really, really difficult for me to not go out and buy a Plus 4 right now. :awesome: npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Little DIY repair tip. Electrical tape is generally not considered to be effective when resolving plumbing issues. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…q5wq this book had better not be too good! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…q5wq turns out that "make this number a nice round value" is exactly the kind of sales pitch that works on me. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…7s4z @nprofile…ypkl thanks, that would be greatly appreciated. I sometimes need to look up a user profile or posts for moderation reasons and it's helpful to be able to read them. 😁 npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey @nprofile…ypkl any chance you could change the default theme to System so it's not dark-only for users who aren't logged in? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hey fedi, I'm determined (out of sheer bloody mindedness at this point) to keep my Google Play developer account active, as they seem to be intent on making that as hard as possible for small publishers. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] The number one reason I want to get an electric car is that every servo near me is now playing ads over shitty little speakers embedded in the fuel pumps. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I love it when there's been a new iOS release recently, because you get to see all the cool new emojis in people's profiles like �, � and �. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Fuck Mozilla but holy shit I do not want to have to start telling people I use something called "Librewolf" there must be something else right? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Hello, this is Bene Gesserit technical support, have you tried taking your hand out of the box and putting it back in again? npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's Public Liability Insurance time, which basically means I just paid about $200 for a PDF. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Them: I get an error pop up when I try to open Word documents in Adobe. Please fix it. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…dhpg I am just utterly astonished that the domain they're using was not owned by a church already npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Anyone in Melbourne interested in purchasing a Commodore 1701 monitor? I'll be confirming it works still, of course, but it was fine a couple of years ago. It has the front panel cover intact, also! I'm going to start offloading some stuff I know I'll never get around to using, so this may turn into a thread. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Quick update on my cash "refund" or whatever for the Pixel 4a, since the above post got kicked around a bit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Google sent me an email last week about reducing the battery capacity of my old Pixel 4a with an "update" and I ignored the links in it, assuming it was just "buy a new phone" stuff. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] Yeah ok, @nprofile…rvgv is effectively dead. Meh. If it'd ever worked reasonably well or looked like anyone cared about it, I'd be a bit sad but its existence is more of a liability at this point, as it might stop people from starting something new and workable. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] It's absolutely useless, really, but I had to get the transparent DS Lite memory expansion pack to go into my transparent DS Lite. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] @nprofile…mjxp the 3-button one would have shipped with a Sun Blade 100 or 150 system! npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] I have been back at work for over two hours now and this is bullshit. npub1zjd8ssttylwunnacc080paeshn7rjpeyls73vfd27uhepnrypjhsx49s67 Mike [SEC=OFFICIAL] My logic probe box is pro as hell. I have fancy LED holders and GROMMETS!
