Weird note regarding the new Apple TV - the included lightning cable is USB-A to lightning for some weird reason.

The new Apple TV remote is chunky. It has heft, and it doesn’t feel like a delicate piece of origami that needs to be held with a feather touch. And there’s a mute button! And the back is curved! So good.
Eeeee!
I’ve said it before and I’ll ask again; at the end of season one of Star Trek: Picard GIANT ROBOT TENTACLES ENERGED FROM A DIMENSIONAL PORTAL AND NO ONE HAS MENTIONED IT ANYWHERE ELSE OR SEEMED TO CARE ONCE THE PORTAL WAS CLOSED!
This Disney+ app on Apple TV is a horrific. Constant crashes and hangs, becoming unresponsive, failing to play one episode once another one finishes. Urgh
Woo hoo!
I guess that’s an honest way to market your product.

Finally. We’ve been consistently ripped off for years by the banks and their transaction fees.
The birds I normally see out of my window are seagulls. There’s lots of other birds around - tui, blackbirds, chaffinches, piwakawaka (fantails) - but seagulls are always there. But just now, for the first time, I saw a karearea, casually stalking the tree canopy. Incredible.
Seriously, read the instructions. And then re-read them. And a bit after you’ve started, re-re-read them. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
You’re supposed to wear a mask on public transport here in Aotearoa. About half of people seem to bother. I’m a rule abider and as an added bonus, it’s freezing cold today so my wool mask is keeping me toasty.
Today I learned: don’t break the back glass on an iPhone because that panel is not replaceable.
3 days without internet at home. Chorus, the company that maintains the fibre optic network, appear to be absolutely useless. 3 days. It’ll be four, because we’re almost at the end of business hours now. And as tomorrow is Friday I guess we won’t have internet until next week.
A crypto-currency where the “proof of work” is sucking CO₂ out of the atmosphere.
We have no internet because the optical network termination unit (the bit that the fibre optic plugs into your house) decided to burn out and die. It’s been 24 hours so far. No broadband and no TV make Yorrike go something something.
I kinda smashed it today. Turns out you still have to pedal eBikes.
If I learnt one things ebiking around today it’s that I need to get some cameras on my helmet because drivers be crazy.
I’ve pre-ordered an Apple TV. Now I wait.
Just to be perfectly clear, I’m staying up until midnight tomorrow so I can order a new Apple TV.
I love how my TV complains it can’t access the internet. And I’m like, yeah, I know. I don’t want you to call home every 5 minutes. You get one hour every month to download updates. I’m treating you like a internet-obsessed teenager.
We literally couldn’t justify buying an electric car. We’ll be looking for a newish car in the next few months buy holy hell electric cars are expensive. I wanted our last car to be our final petrol car, but alas. It’ll be petrol. Even PHEVs are too expensive!
Today’s instance of a French word that sounds way cooler than the English word: moth - papillon de la nuit, butterfly of the night
eBike update. Now I’ve been riding for a week or so:
It’s great being able to see the South Island / Te Waipounamu in a certain morning light where you can see the colours of the hills and mountains rather than it being one crinkly silhouette.
