July 7th Garmin Connect Update 5.14.1
If you use the Garmin Connect app in a Private Space or Work Profile, AVOID THIS UPDATE! It seems that the most recent update to Garmin Connect might prove problematic to those that use the Android app in any kind of profile. I’m running the latest GrapheneOS 2025070800 on a Pixel 9 Pro with the…

Random thoughts about YouTube
I hate media today. “You won’t believe THIS!” “5 tricks Airlines hope you NEVER LEARN!” “13 stupid mistakes DESTROYING your automatic car!” “NO ONE can explain THIS!” </eye roll> What’s with all this sensationalist title nonsense?

qemu 9.1.1-1 / virt-manager Audio Shenanigans
The upgrade of qemu packages from 9.1.0-2 to 9.1.1-1 broke the audio output of my Windoze 11 VM that I typically work from. Arch Linux is a rolling release, so it’s not as easy to just specify the version of a package you want to install using any of the normal commands with Pacman –…
