“Surface Pro 11 review: tantalizingly close to the dream”
“Not “lappable” like a laptop”
“Not a great tablet either”
How is that close to any dream? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@npub1z9l…4trf It’s not like Apple Intelligence is available in EU languages.
"Apple Intelligence is free to use and will initially be available in U.S. English. "

That tandem OLED on the new iPad Pro is also known as “two-stack” which implies twice the pixel management. Here’s a link on that:
"Samsung and LG have begun preparing for Two-Stack OLED Displays for 2024 iPads that are now being described as 'Hybrid' Displays"

Spring has sprung, and it sucks. DST changed the clocks. Temperature has leapt 30°F. Pollen fills the air. I am jacked up three different ways. Meanwhile, the cats are loving it, waking me up on their unaltered schedule, napping in the warmth, collecting pollen. Here’s our boy Pip living that sweet, spring life.

@npub1ahq…wjwd I also wondered if there was a link between your demo and your episodes and assumed you would’ve felt it earlier, correlation not causation. That said, it can’t be ruled out. If it was me, I’d do another demo to confirm. If I could narrow down the cause of my occasional bouts of vertigo, I would.

@npub1ahq…wjwd Merry Christmas, Warner! Hope you and the whole family are feeling warm and fuzzy this morning.

@npub1ahq…wjwd Need that moment when you realize you need an option to make coffee without a coffee maker. French press is a simple, no-fuss backup that doesn’t rely on a filter and is easier to store than a maker.

@npub15l7…aang RCS is no more secure than any other carrier protocol. Encrypted RCS is part of Google Messages routed through Google servers. Simply supporting RCS would not make text messaging any safer, but it would allow Google to send ads to Apple customers through Google’s RCS Business Messaging, which is sitting dormant until Google can reach those customers.

@npub1gl8…q5y9 Wheat protein is wheat gluten. Wheat probably has other proteins, but it’s most the gluten.

@npub1ahq…wjwd Here’s a shareable version. One thing: Shortcuts can switch to any particular watch face, but it can only identify a face by type. This means it cannot reliably switch between watch faces of the same type. If your two watch faces are Modular, the shortcut will switch to the secondary face but not to the main face. Shortcut takes a second to finish running. I trigger it with AssistiveTouch, but Siri and complication work too.

Our feral friend Harley has gotten into the habit of spending evenings inside with us, resting on a cushion under the coffee table. But when a thunderstorm hits, he panics because he doesn’t know where to go. Of course, he doesn’t have to go anywhere because he’s indoors, but this week he scurried to under the dining table, legs tucked in.

*regular voice* Seriously, wow. I had no idea he was that successful off-stage.

@npub1qw5…037m I find it amusing when people hitting Apple with a DDoS attack complain that Apple’s site is broken while they are breaking it.

”Apple stealth-launched a 2-meter 240W USB-C cable for all your charging needs“ and it’s cheaper than Anker’s 2-meter 140W charge cable. Apple’s USB-C cable line now consists of two white charge cables (a 1-meter 60W and this future-proofed 240W) and a black Thunderbolt cable. I appreciate the simple and clear differentiation here.

@npub1ahq…wjwd Not buying the Thunderbolt?

2023-09-12 11:28:28

With Apple expected to announce the first phone with Thunderbolt support, I’m digging up this post from the ex-site. My apologies. #iPhone #USBC #Thunderbolt
”Time to bring this back given the rumors surrounding USB-C on iPhone. If EU regulations force Apple to swap Lightning for USB-C, I hope they go all-in and adopt USB4 and/or Thunderbolt. Both require USB-C and are worthwhile upgrades. Make it a triumph, not a compromise.“

What’s he thinking? Something deep and philosophical? Or something involving food or suddenly running to somewhere?

@npub1h7e…v6w6 “Economical” is a relative term. Paying for a new display and labor? Not economical. Letting an electronics salvager in Dubai pull working parts to Frankenstein a functional device (that’s not necessarily your iPad)? Economical.
Also, Apple didn’t have you turn off the activation lock? I gave them two devices to recycle and confirmed they were wiped and unlocked. Maybe they went to this same place for second lives.
