Ross Bagdasarian (David Seville) was cast as the pianist/songwriter in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window.” He would later speed up a tape reel and invent the chipmunks.

McDonald’s gave out pine saplings on earth day sometime in the early 90’s. I got one and it ended up growing bigger than the house. Really saddened to learn it was cut down.

It’s receiving only with Bluetooth, so just wireless audio in. Out is standard headphone jack. Between latency and signal quality concerns, I’m still all in on cables out. I’ve had some baffling troubleshooting even with the pro wireless units. I’m sure the tech has improved but for me the cheaper wireless units coming out especially don’t cut it. This other unit however has been entirely useful with everything it’s meant to do! Not sure if it could hold up with a band but for practice and solo performance it’s been fantastic.

Throwing out a cool gift idea for anyone who is interested in, or has kids wanting to learn electric guitar/bass. I’m fortunately passed the musical gear accumulation phase in life, but this tool has been the most useful device. The “Fender Mustang Micro Plus.” $130. It’s got amp modelers, effects and a headphone jack. The ability to synch with a phone via bluetooth and practice along to songs is a game changer. Can also be used as an interface to record via USB. When performing solo I’ll often just show up with this alone and plug directly into a PA. It’s laughable to think how handy this thing would have been over the years. So many makeshift setups in weird places. Now I’m able to rehearse anywhere and away from a computer screen. 🤙 slap on

I had to deactivate IG recently for peace of mind. Lots of Musicians have been removing their work from Spotify, which is great, but unfortunately the conversation regarding the next step hasn’t been a technical one there. In my best efforts to contribute to the discussion, the algo has pushed outrage bait on the subject and I found myself reacting accordingly. A stark contrast to the emphasis on building solutions here. We know what to expect there and I don’t want to give up on those who are looking for solutions… but only in small doses moving toward. Learning context from this experience nonetheless. You keep it real and do an awesome job as always man 🤙

Would love to see image creation. Also, it’s a bit hard to tell when the 🌐icon is engaged due to the colors. You guys are killing it, looking forward.

Makes total sense and your article was completely insightful. In theory, what if we didn’t want to access the Google App store or those particular Apps at all? Is it even possible to run any other OS on the Daylight? Forgive me if I missed this. For example, I’d like to use it just to read/write. I came across https://www.daylighthacker.wiki/roms but admittedly haven’t looked into it much or beyond. I’m curious if anyone has hacked anything worth mentioning.

Appreciate the swift response. Makes total sense. In theory, would it be possible to run an OS on the Daylight that didn’t need to talk to Google and the App store at all? I know it’s baked into their current system. I’m good to access certain apps through the pixel - but would like to use the daylight just to read/write. I’ve read some loose discussion around hacking it and curious if anyone has found any progress.

Awesome write up! I’m running Graphene on a pixel and have the Daylight as well. I had read was looking into expanding support for privacy focused OS - wondering if you’ve come across anything?

Still got the Grommet attached on the other side fortunately. Will definitely need to weld something on the other side to hold long term.
