Way to bury the lead by ending with the platforms
Way to bury the lead by ending with the platforms
Given how many other places have them, it's been weird not having them. Then again, elsewhere can easily pay with their iPhones...
I wonder. Depends on why the highway is widened I imagine. Like, if it is so lanes can be wider, and so people can more comfortably drive larger vehicles with worse fuel mileage it should, over time, lead to more such vehicles. But if it was widened for other reasons? Shouldn't impact those sales.
That shouldn't surprise you; most people generally have a just-world belief allowing them to presume bad things won't happen if we just keep plugging away at the work in front of us. They don't want to be the ones who take the responsibility and work towards a solution, makes it very real.
No, partly because I feel like if I need the information it’s either available where I already go (social media and maps) or there is a major failure to communicate hoping I’ll download yet another app.
Wait. To the left, unlike how we are taught to be off to the right. Seems like it is designed to have these moments.
I get your desire to appear nonpartisan, but at some point you need to stop with these biased headlines and start using proper terms: kidnappings by masked vigilantes.
I’m not in a rush for a new phone, but when I’m next shopping I’m either heading to Android or Apple will finally have something on the market.
I get it, Apple is tired of people dunking on Siri and being right in every way that matters. Just tired that these things were clearly ignored until they had to be slow-rolled for updates.
Exciting! They go from well known variables with limited changes, allowing for them to plan and strategize, to a gamble at every turn that can change before they’ve finished placing orders. It’s like a failed casino with no clear winners.
Missed the news about the nuclear subs moved towards Russia huh? Less book, more Fallout game.
Say what people will about the military industrial complex, the blue angels feel like something we as a nation should be proud of achieving and maintaining. Also bother me way less than fireworks, and excite my kids about aviation and engineering.
I’ve seen that suggested as a possible goal for all of these changes: break things such that the only probable outcome is war. Here is hoping things trend towards the mean rapidly in the coming years.
Made me laugh.
Thinking more about this: one day I’ll find a cheap slide with a good enough fit and a Velcro strap top.

Two years there, during this wild ride, feels like a fairly lengthy stay.
Be interesting to see how it works in the years to come.
Needs more sleep, and some play to work through thoughts, instead always on the big day schedule.
I'll skip the analysis, thanks for the headlines covering it well enough for me.
E-ink screen had my attention. The bit about the trackpad has me wandering off.
Why this article really brightened my day, it linked to another of your articles about technology that is looking fantastic: www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24...
Be interesting if this works out, could lead to EV designers for one reason or another working with such micro-grids to adjust their designs for that downstream. Imagine used car sales having a floor price because the micro-grids snap them up when too close to it.
Failed or not, I can't imagine there are too many with expertise in this field. Be interesting to see how it shakes out, and if the fleet is ever hacked to, say, en-masse run down people.
Random thoughts: I tried a few Birkenstock sandals because I couldn't find one I liked, in stock, that used a strap with velcro or such that allowed me a great fit. I returned the first with a buckle, couldn't get it to a comfortable fit. But the Kyoto worked great, strap being too large aside.
Seems pretty costly for less up front. Thanks for covering this, always neat to read about how such things evolve.
On I-5 northbound just south of 300th St NW (MP 215) there is an obstruction blocking the right lane.
I’m presupposing the majority are concerned that going against it may be overstepping their judicial authority. That is to say, they are concerned about themselves personally if they rule against Trump.
On I-5 northbound just north of 164th St SW (MP 184) there is a disabled vehicle blocking the HOV lane.
On I-405 southbound just north of I-90 (MP 11) there is a collision blocking the right lane.
Had me checking my weather, other Washington. Always makes me think my state when founded really dropped the ball in how to make a name.
I feel this, thanks for the chuckle.
True or not, more competition in this space seems good in general. Though still not fond of self driving technology, can’t get over the idea that someone who hack them and use a group for something destructive.
Day two of that area having collisions in my news feed. Come on start streaking 0 accidents in the area!
No surprise, markets seem happy with this at least for now.
UPDATE: ALL NB I-5 lanes blocked at Northgate Way (MP 173) in Seattle after a collision. The left three lanes of SB I-5 are also blocked. Emergency responders are on scene. Seek alternate routes.
These days I'm playing a rather lot of the web 3, cozy farming game Sunflower Land (now launching their token: $Flower, on Base): sunflower-land.com/play/?ref=Ko... Why it appeals to me, I played a lot of TCGs and such growing up and always enjoyed collecting things that impact gameplay and trading
Between the type of touch screen automakers have to favor for their durability, and the time it takes to interact, I've absolutely hated touch screen interactions with vehicles. Bring on the buttons!
It's all a headache. Still, maybe long term this will be better for the global population to more precisely determine how much and where fluoride should come from in order to help with teeth. Overlooking any shorter term challenges over increased cavities and such.

This is how I've felt about all of AppleTV+: plenty of the shows are enjoyable once they are on. But bothering to choose between them, and, alternatives, I would probably never offer up those made by Apple because they aren't the first that I think of.

Ah, well, better they pause and see if it is viable to keep selling them than to make sales and be unable to be sure they can get product to those who paid.
This sort of third party innovation is great to see. No, they haven’t won my business yet. But they are closing in on it since Apple still doesn’t appear to care about situations such as wallets, passport cases, and other flat objects.
Feel like we are working over grocery stores too. Fast food and casual dining seems fine.
AI is getting to be truly incredible.
I just backed DASH | 3-in-1 Magnetic Wallet on @kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ell... An aside, Kickstarter has Facebook and X links, but not BS. Feels bad, and sad.
Feels good when demand naturally returns to pessimism for awhile instead of crashing down to it. Be interesting to see what the next wave of optimism brings.
I imagine that moment to be sort of magical.
Somehow I imagine me and friends being watched closely, for hours and hours of tabletop games, arguing once again over the most pedantic of things.
I somehow imagine it will end up like so many information leaks in the past: maybe life changing for very many, but quickly lost in the amount of issues it causes and boring to consider the ramifications.
Weirdly might be worth my time. Lately I screenshot, crop, go to paste and find it pastes the unedited image. Starting to wonder what's up with iOS these days.
Thinking of trees: financial incentives to plant get them in the ground, but not necessarily kept as the upkeep becomes a consideration. So, then if we want both, a tax incentive or such seems the easiest way to get people to plant and maintain.
This strikes me like how I’m pro trees, but against cities requiring permits to remove them: I want an ecosystem that encourages planting and retaining trees, not one that encourages people to find loopholes and keep dangerous trees around until or unless they find someone who agrees with them.
I just wish News+ felt like an Apple product: one with good local coverage and was ad-free. Instead of feeling like a poor version of Google News.
Hahaha! A farting mouse!
If News+ goes ad-free, I’ll subscribe again. Unless that ever happens, I have less issues getting my news basically anywhere else. Doesn’t help the the most relevant local sources never made it onto the service.
Trying to get excited for them, but honestly I think I’m stuck waiting for the release and getting a feel for one to see if it unfolds into a close enough to iPad experience to be useful.
Could be. I got bored of tablets about a week into one years ago and yet here we are with many on the market. For many consumers, they would use a tablet all the time if it fit in their pocket between sessions.
As neat as such glasses might have been, and possibly an improvement over current Apple Vision due to costs, it would have been a miserable experience being tethered to a Mac when you got up and walked away.
Adult collecting in the news too, just makes me laugh: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Cat is ahead of the game in figuring out how she wants to spend the day.

Doesn’t surprise me, look at the popularity of headphones and now noise cancelling earbuds.
I’m so checked out of gaming culture, so I’m unsure. Probably take a game like Sunflower Land from the play to own genre (NFTs) or a play to earn game (not that I think one could realistically recoup the lost productivity time) to get me to dig in. I wouldn’t put it past a Nintendo IP though
I always think when I read about reducing intake of x, that it is quietly meaning because on average it is replaced with y (usually fruits and vegetables).
Visually, they always made such nice looking brushes that made me want to throw money at them. Reading reviews, pretty sure I’m happier with the results of any other big brand electric toothbrush.
That’s mildly amusing.
Hardware wise, I was never very happy with Nintendo’s Switch. The joycons were a huge let down. Game wise, here I am on a launch console, on something like my 5th set of joycons, and playing Breath of the Wild once again.
Curious to see if this is a solid hit, or a WiiU.
Nintendo has long favored cheaper hardware, with something quirky. To me this latest round is quirky alright: connectors that look frail, so instead of merely risking janky joycons to play we can risk our consoles.
Here is hoping it is only a pause, and they roll it out a bit later all the same.
Kicking back and some self care with baking and such are some really good days.
This is why back in the day I cut down to one platform. It wasn't that other platforms didn't have good games, or for that matter better in some genres than the platform I chose, but that I had more games on any given platform I wanted to play than time to dig into them.
Probably ship, probably break easily especially with help from a toddler. Still, I *really* want to see this come to be a thing in the market and do well. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ohs...
Mattel Intellivision is listed on the App Store.
Netflix and how they handle so many shows is why it took me so long to really start spending time on Apple and their shows: a desire not to waste my time on an unfinished and unlikely to be finished product of entertainment.
Now found, set, and errors out when used. Back to square one.
Fleshing out my opinion: The Cubieverse suffers heavily from feeling alone. Lack of structures and distance between them is a notable factor, but so is the lack of interaction with NPCs.
Disposable containers of junk food and drinks aside, looks great!
Sunflower Land is getting a rather lot of my time lately. Something about helping me get comfortable with web 3, while being a calming farming simulator is working well for me. Also, has me looking forward to raising chickens, because they are unlike real ones that could peck me.
Keep it in budget, and learn places that will buy from you (and how to send to them) in case you find yourself with something valuable that you don’t want/need so you can recoup some of those pack cracking costs.
You got me, next chance I get I’ll listen to their latest.
That is solid. Last time I tried to buy some cards at a Target they made me feel criminal even asking, so I left what I was going to buy and went elsewhere. Just wanted some nostalgia and enjoy some pack gambling.
Regardless of whether I’m in Shortcuts or home and automations. This is a very different set of results than I’m getting. Well, I’ll try to figure it out another day. Thanks again.
Not my jam, especially since they get taken down and packed into storage automatically. But a really neat addition for those looking to deck the halls.
Reading again, is it possible *while* home? My use is a normal case of wanting to turn off the TV, if on, to get people moving (either towards out the door or towards bed).
Last time I looked, best I found others describing for the AppleTV was to pause it. I'll definitely take a look when I've more time, thanks!
I want a simple automation for my AppleTV: if on at a certain time in the week or time in the evening, then turn off. Think of it as a time to: get ready to leave or time to sleep. #Apple should consider these simple things.
Sure, and that at the current weight, time to get on and off, busier people like parents of young children will often dismiss it offhand until their lives calm down enough or the hardware better meets them where they are in life.
Input challenges like for gaming or work look interesting to see how they evolve. I keep hearing of work centered uses with the trackpad and a keyboard, not huge additional costs at the price, but notable.
Ah, and testing Podcasts app again. overcast.fm Is fantastic for listening to podcasts at chipmunk speed, allowing 2-3x to sound (via AirPods) like normal speech. But where it fails is, and always has been, that for me it won’t play the next podcast in my up next.
Today: housework, tiny human needs, sunflower-land.com since it’s gripped me better than most farming simulators, and thinking much about the daily news.
Ah well, looked like a good game for what I got to see.
Hyperbole on the degree, but solid point. Apple works hard to keep their hardware solid for years to come, see resale value for how the general market views the devices.
Good luck!
I feel that. I liked Facebook and Twitter when I got into them because I could find where I was in time and scroll to present before branching out. I think they made branching out harder than necessary in those designs, but it beats out feeling like I am lost in an ocean.
