weird “cost sheet” when sending an Apple Watch back for repairs (with AppleCare+) i already paid $69 for the damage incident. if i don’t follow the packaging instructions they charge me $229 more?

@mikesusz
another PAX East in the bag. i’m conflicted. this was both my most prepared one (4th year) but also - most challenging. took my 7 & 8yo on Sunday. trying to find the games and content that’s suitable and not objectionable. while dealing with their (and my) overwhelm.

all the t-shirts i’ve given to my nephew from PAX East are too small now. he gave them back to me 😮

tonight i got to nerd out on twitter and y’all seem to be okay with that. thanks @ThePracticalDev :) as an “old” i sometimes feel disconnected. we can find common ground and have fun building things :)

@mikesusz
i fully welcome any further questions/discussion about hardware and workstation stuff. i love this stuff. totally nerdy about it. :)

@matthewgiesa WASD’s version has DIP switches underneath that you can switch to adjust the ctrl/cmd key layout, but most boards, if you connect them to a Mac, can go to System Prefs -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys and set what key is sent for which key position

does it violate Twitter’s ToS if clients can have a ‘hide tweet’ button? like, i don’t want to report it, i just don’t want to see it until (my feed updates)

if i ever get around to writing a memoir, it will probably be titled “I’m so tired and stupid.”

@mikesusz
@evanleahquinn but YMMV, there’s also the factor of (how i wasn’t able to) afford to live in Seattle proper. that was a lot bigger part of it.

@crtr0 one thing i was bummed about - i wanted to include Ralph the robot but i’m totally out of @thoughtbot stickers. maybe my friend @jyurek could help? :)
mike susz
@mikesusz
the fact that they've solved this problem with less industry experience than I have is irrelevant. they chose to focus on this problem, and came up with an excellent solution. AND they shared it. that's all that matters.
mike susz
@mikesusz
whenever I reach these situations now, I search for help from the community. almost always, someone has documented a fix for the problem or something similar to lead me to success. and probably half the time, that person is younger than I am.

@mikesusz
a lot of times I see someone as (old) as I am complain about something, and you see them justify their frustration with "well I've been making websites since (stone age)! this is difficult!"
