Return to Office is coming for me. But indications suggest implementation is being slow-walked? I’ll take whatever extra time I can to prepare

On macOS 15.2 user login screen, very often my PC keyboard's first key press (first character of a password) is ignored. So the first letter of my login password does not input. Maybe it's my keyboard but I haven't seen typing issues anywhere else.

Usually I blame my hands because they're stiff and causing my touch typing to go awry. But I think it's actually a bug. #macOS

Went out to Burris Creek today, west of Black Butte Lake. For the first time we saw Lewis’s woodpeckers! They were constantly harassing each other. They’ve gorgeous pink bellies. We also saw a Nuttall’s woodpecker and an Emirates A380 Reg. A6-EVO Dubai-SFO (EK225) at 39,000 feet #LewissWoodpecker #NuttallsWoodpecker #Birds #A380 #Aviation #Fujifilm #SOoC

Looking forward to everyone at work getting Windows 11 for only one reason: built-in 7zip decompression. Other than that, I'm very sorry for your downgrade.

This is a nice discussion by @elanhead on using specialized software and enormous amounts of data to help understand difficult system problems before catastrophe. It’s a safety related article so no paywall! #Aviation

Nice article on Iceland Air’s A321LR by @zeraphoto at @AirlineReporter

And it is indeed a shame Boeing deep sixed the 757 program #aviation

While I follow some people on Threads, I wouldn't be sorry for it to be banned at this point. Folks on Threads pretty much willingly walked into it knowing it would not go well.

I’m stoked that our asparagus bed, now in its third home over the last ten years, is beginning to produce enough to harvest. It’s been a long road with many years of our not caring but they persisted anyway and thus eventually regained our affection #Yarden #Gardening

Cloud surfing an A330-900 today in X-Plane flying from SFO to JFK. The best feature of Toliss aircraft is the Skip to Waypoint feature. It lets me skip most of cruise (I disable failures) while still consuming a reasonable amount of fuel. Speeding up sim time or ground speed is good too but often those two options are still too slow #XPlane12 #FlightSim
