I am loving the TNG reunion in Picard season 3. However it won’t truly be complete because the greatest star fleet office in history (which is canon! It was in Lower Decks) Chief Miles O’Brien won’t be there.

I feel like there’s one internet meme or page each person remembers reading or seeing and then thinking about for years. And the you try and find it and it’s lost to the mists of fallible human memory and the ethereal nature of the internet.
TIL about why that one salad spoon that has a slot: “One of the spoons has a slot allowing the draining of excess salad dressing or gravy.”
I’m hoping the next iPhone will change to USB-C (as rumours suggest). That’ll leave me with two things I need special cables for and can’t charge with Qi/MagSafe - one old micro USB device and most frustratingly of all, my Apple Watch.
I can’t get push notifications working on my phone in any app. Does anyone else have that issue? Using Fastmail in Apple Mail.app and Spark.
Waking up my Mac: “I’m up! I’m up! Log in! Let’s gooooooo!!!”
Waking up my work Windows laptop: “Huh? Ugh. Gimme a second. I’m initiating the start up delay. Which is a thing. Man, I wasn’t expecting this. Let me spin a bit. OK. Log in. Thanks. Hang on. Hang on…”
Fun fact, a majority (~58%) of humans live in Asia.
Cool. The iOS Passwords settings (it really should be its own app), can add 2FA to any of the passwords you store. Go to the password you want to add to, press the “Set Up Verification Code” and the scan the QR code the website gives you. FYI for anyone with TXT 2FA on Twitter.
I’m so disappointed in Picard season 3. Not because it’s not fantastic - because it is. But because seasons 1 and 2 could’ve been this good and they absolutely were not.
Sure you’ve seen a lunar eclipse. Maybe even a solar eclipse. You may have even see a comet. All predictable. But one thing I’m absolutely ecstatic that I got to witness with my own eyes was earthquake lightning. Bright, flickering blue flashes during the Kaikōura earthquake.
Hey bike commuting buddies. I need recommendations for rain pants/trousers, as we’re (at least here) heading into autumn and winter.
Outside of America, Where’s Waldo? is correctly titled Where’s Wally?
Chatting with a friend today, suggested they use iCloud to manage passwords. Opened Passwords on their iPhone and the security alerts was a❗️They’ve spent the day changing passwords. During the changing spree, someone (not them) tried to change their Amazon password 😱
“If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
Yes, Newtonian physics work whether there’s an observer or not. Next question.
“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
The egg, by several hundred million years.
I bought a Sony X90H 65” TV a couple of years ago. Great TV, dim in the corners, but well worth what I paid and half the price of the OLEDs of the same size. Only 2 years later, OLED TVs are now at the same price of the old X90H, and Mini LED is the new premium.
I accidentally recorded my morning commute on my helmet cam in slow motion. So I now have a feature length video of me going to work… very… slow… ly.
You could have a dull, grey satellite dish on your house. Or like this one in Aro Valley, you could make it beautifully colourful by painting an old TV test pattern on it.
To Apple, please please add a setting to Calendars to only accept invitations from known senders. Or at least, from senders who are writing in English. I’m sick of getting Chinese spam invitations in my calendar. Make it stop!
You know what? Long may these errors continue. I’m going to be so much happier when that hellscape site disappears entirely.
Oh no. Just found a house I really like for a price I can afford. There must be a catch. Some trick? Tempted to scream “_NOT TODAY SATAN!_”
I switched my Netflix from the medium standard plan to the basic 720p plan, which is half the price. And you know what? I completely forgot I’d done that and didn’t notice at all. Maybe we don’t all need 4K video being thrown around…
LOL! Twitter is cutting off free access to their APIs. They seem determined to self-destruct. One week notice.
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead
Remember when advertisers would use pop-up windows in browsers? And then they got craftier and devised pop-under windows? Man the online advertising industry is packed with shady scumbags. (If you work in this I distrust and you’re reading this, you’re not a shady scumbag)
Had a question at a pub quiz last night: “what is the smallest part of a chemical element that can cause a chemical reaction?” We put electron, which is correct. The answer the very drunk quiz master was after was “atom”. Thoughts?
Somehow we’ve embarked on the biggest project in history even though it has no articulable purpose, offers no benefits, and will cost taxpayers more than a good-sized war.
Also, it could destroy and infected any Martian life.
