New Episode - Link in Bio! (Thanks for sharing!) For this show I’m joined by legendary Rock ‘n Roll photographer Robert M. Knight to chat about a few of his shots, and the stories behind them. Wherever you get podcasts, in video or audio only, and on YouTube. behindtheshot.tv/2026/08/13/p...

Narrator: No, this isn’t how it happened.

This video from @stephenrobles.com has what may be _the_ best iPhone Duo hack I’ve seen. It’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s a shortcut to have the phone lock if you close it when no app is active, but stay unlocked, transfering to the front, if you have an app open. youtu.be/GVt5_g4gE-o?...

To be clear - he hasn’t produced science or won these medal / prizes.

Stripping creators of their life’s content is what meta is doing as it takes advantage that most cannot afford to fight it legally. They drew us all into their house and now plan to strip us and kick us out with nothing, while they keep it all. The others are on standby to do the same.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

I generally really like what 404 has been doing, but BS clickbait “Gate” headlines don’t help.

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Correction, we're now at 500 apps! Also you can filter and search by category:

Remember, you can update tvOS 27.2 across all your Apple TVs from the Home app!

Racist asshole says what? Spoiler: A birth certificate does indeed say that you are an American.

Very odd that Apple Shortcuts has an Automation trigger for “Display Open or Closed” but not a regular action. I mean, clearly it can tell if it’s opened or closed, so let me use that in a shortcut please.

One more variation on the Duo "When Opened" automation: Get Current Focus and open an app of your choice! If "Weekend" open "Books" etc

I use the Dark Noise Background Sound when sleeping, but can’t trigger it with the Action Button on the Duo, which has no Action Button. Instead, I wrote a shortcut to trigger DND and the sound ON when the phone is put on my charger in Standby Mode, and OFF when I remove it. @stephenrobles.com

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Following up up this thread, this video from @stephenrobles.com is the closest to my experience. Is it for everyone, no, but most of the reviews out there are over hyping the “issues”.

It would be so awesome to play The Count, with others, and inside BlueSky. It was my fave text adventure to play on the C64.

@bsky.app Can we assume there will be an update to optimize for the iPhone Duo screens?

One feature I loved that is missing from the iPhone Duo is the ability to change the width of the flashlight beam. You can still modify brightness, by sliding up / down, but you can’t slide left / right to change from wide to spot. @snell.zone @leolaporte.me

Now I’m dying to read your reply, if you posted one.

Remember when the President directing the DOJ to do literally anything would be a months long scandal that would almost certainly end in impeachment? I miss those days.

I mean, what could go wrong. Hard no.

A good NAS is always a good idea. Got an email yesterday from our friends at #synolgy And they just released a brand new NEO addition. Affordable and great quality great for us creators. Check them out here. www.synology.com/en-us/produc...

The internet is having a very bad cybersecurity day

The definition of really effing bad.

To be more specific, if you host anything that uses PHP, like a website using Wordpress or many other platforms, of an internet facing device, or damn thing anything in the internet, get a good backup now. Then, watch for PHP updates today. thehackernews.com/2026/10/php2...

Not to be a paranoid person But today would be a great day to unplug your Nas/home from the internet and make sure all your security and 2fa is in order Worldwide cyber attacks at the moment.

Well, this isn’t good.

Happy birthday, @stevebrazill.com! If you don't know his incredible concert photography, do look him up. Also, his Behind the Shot podcast is stellar. #Photography

Social media would be a wonderful place, if not for the humans, bots, and posts.

HBD to the legend, Snoop.

To be clear, yes, the Titanic changing course made it worse. Then again, the government isn’t a large ocean-floating vessel - although these people are trying to sink it anyway.

I posted a flippant joke that was [kindly] shared by @masnick.com, an account with a lot of followers. I’ve already received a few of replies as though it was a serious point. I suddenly have a ton more empathy for people that have enough followers that the replies must be insane.

Collecting is an issue. ¯\_(ツ)_/

The bottle for this Wise Caldwell JFC 16 Year is one of the nicest in my collection. Feels more like a Cognac bottle than whiskey. Luckily, the whiskey is good too!

At least he finally recognizes that this administration is legendary disaster that needs a course correction. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Sharing Mr. Masnick a lot lately. Do you own and control your own messaging - and audience? We’ve all known someone that complained that a platform suppressed their post. Whether it’s an automated or manual trigger, if you trust companies to handle it your platform you’re at their mercy. Read this

Just watched the movie “By Any Means”, with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg, and loved it. Well done.
