^ If you watch these videos, you'll find that the trope of a "faulty Windows update" being the culprit is totally wrong.

Here is what *actually happened* on a technical level in the recent CrowdStrike debacle from someone with deep knowledge of Windows' inner workings.

Induction charging pads: What's your opinion? Never tried one before; wondering if it's worth it. This would be for an #Android Pixel.

Anyone here use CalyxOS?

Consumer Wi-Fi device manufacturers really need to have better defaults.

Below are two screenshots from a scan I just did for nearby access points. These are both Netgear routers. WPS has been known to be terrible for years, yet it's enabled by default.

Why are these routers broadcasting the number of connected clients and channel utilization? TMI.

One of my neighbors made the situation worse by using their address as the SSID (redacted).

Attention, #cosomusicians :

I have come across an outstanding metronome for #Android that makes it very simple to do any number of beats and subdivisions, even gradual tempo changes. Many other options as well, but the overall UI/UX is better than any similar app I've ever tried.

Be a critical, independent thinker.

Cheerleaders are a dime a dozen.

I have reached the age where I don't have time for anyone's bullshit anymore.

You say or do things that are hurtful to my friends, and I'm coming for you.

^ FTR, this is my usual concert season brain. I'm just not used to doing it in the summer as well.

Ever get a group of songs stuck on repeat in your head, all at the same time?

Picture this:

1. Teach several pieces to students over a period of several days/weeks.

2. Perform with and/or conduct said students in a concert of these pieces.

3. Also be the recording engineer for the concert, and dive into post work on the recording immediately after getting home.

Right now 8 pieces of choral music are having a cage match in my brain.

Memory for music doesn’t diminish with age

Eighty-year-olds are able to identify familiar tunes just as well as teenagers can.
