Coke-fueled AI
Love Flops
Out of idle curiosity, I watched the trailer for one of the last shows to premier this season (the last appears to be Urusei Yatsura, which will run 2 cours, take a break, and then run 2 more), and the girls are cute. That’s the good news. Other than that, it looks like a real paint-by-numbers ecchi harem comedy with conveniently color-coded haremettes throwing themselves at a guy whose only attractive feature is Being The Protagonist.

Daring Fireball swings and misses
“Smartphones replaced everything Radio Shack sold 30 years ago: still cameras, video cameras, music players, radios, alarm clocks, calculators, tape recorders, and, yes, cellular dumbphones.”
Gruber clearly never set foot inside of a Radio Shack. Probably scared he’d catch something, like a clue.
Let’s take a look at some of the things sold in a 1992 Radio Shack catalog (that took five seconds to find with google):
- electronic keyboards
- police-band scanners
- intercoms
- baby monitors
- PA systems
- bullhorns
- strobe lights
- alarm systems
- air purifiers
- printers
- surge protectors
- RC cars
- electronics kits (not just for kids)
- soldering irons, multimeters, breadboards, ICs, semiconductors, tubes, crystals, LEDs, resistors, logic probes, diodes, transistors, cables, adapters, wire, crimping tools, relays, transformers, fans, motors, switches, fuses, etc
(those last items being the things people went to Radio Shack for long before 1992…)
(sadly, they never sold these)
Things I never expected to write…

Unrelated,
I appreciate the way Engadget randomly serves up WEBP images to Safari users, the only major browser that has no idea what to do with them. It really speeds up their site.

TP-Link delivered!
As promised, they sent the rack-mounting kit for my 24-port switch, so I can clean up the rack in the basement.
I think I’ll celebrate with a Coke…
