  • Wonder how many things they shit up

    I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick

    Course sometimes we’d stay in an Airbnb, and they’d have a Roku or Apple TV, where we’d just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that’s beyond the point




  • I wish more people would hold Sam Altman’s feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs

    Oh and there’s the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over

    Even Ed Zitron, who isn’t afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves












  • Its really great if you like pepper. It puts out an absolute ton of it, and you’ll find yourself going through way more black pepper than you thought you ever could. And the grind settings are unrivaled; you can get tiny little faerie dusts of pepper, all the way up to big honkin flakes that work great on a steak. Whenever I’m doing a brisket or similar on the smoker, its great to have on hand

    Its milled out of a single billet of aluminum, the grinding mechanism js custom built, and the whole thing just screams quality.

    And you pay for it. They’re around $200

    There’s also a salt cannon, if you want the same sort of thing but built for salt. I got it because I like the matching pair, but you don’t strictly need it; salt is salt, regardless of where it was ground.
