Season 5 of The Expanse has started. Which means tomorrow I’ll be able to watch:
Sci-fi-gasm!
Disappointing the iPhone 12 mini is only making up ~5% of iPhone 12 sales(at least in the US). I’m not due for a new phone for at least another year, but I hope this isn’t the end of small iPhones.
Only took until iOS 14.3, but iCloud Tabs are finally working again after failing in the last couple of minor versions of iOS13 and macOS.
“Watch streaming media in SD to reduce your climate impact”
Alternatively, stop driving your car for less than 5 km trips (which is a majority) and either walk, eBike or take public transport. It’ll have orders of magnitude more impact that switching to SD video.
Also, if you missed it, the latest version f iOS/iPadOS and macOS have added Ecosia as a default search engine to Safari - they plant trees as you search, and they’re privacy focussed. Also seems like a good search engine.
It’s confusing to me that in iOS/iPadOS, when a keyboard is connected, the letters of a passwords are still displayed as you type, rather than being turned into a •, seems like an unnecessary security hole.
To bed! Which means lying uncomfortably on my side watching YouTube for an hour before deciding I should probably get some sleep.
Twitter makes me sad most of the time. But then there’s always one or two moments of absolute joy mixed into the malaise that mean I can probably never close my account.

Season 11 of Archer is up on Netflix!
Was in the shower and read the label of my wife’s body wash. “Lavender and Germanium!? Wha? Why!.” … “Oh… geranium. Cool. We’re not going to die.”
Vows parl-ez lay frankays?
I learnt something extremely useful about le langue français last night: letters with a circumflex, like â or ô are remnants where there used to be, in old French, an s immediately after the vowel. e.g., hâte was haste, hôpital was hospital, hôtel was hostel.
If Apple has done anything releasing headphones for One Thousand New Zealand Dollars, it’s made me consider other headphones a little above my previous limit of NZ$200 to replace my (physically, not electronically) breaking Sony MDR-10RBTs. Maybe up to NZ$300?
I often use my iPad as my computer. And I use the odd iPhone app on my iPad. But I find it bizarre that I can’t use an iPhone app in slide-over mode in its native portrait mode. All iPhone apps take over the screen with mile-wide black borders.
It’s that time of year when you can’t believe just how close XMas is, but can’t deal with just how far away your (Southern Hemisphere) summer holidays are. Two weeks seeming like 2 years is on brand for 2020.
Hay fever season this month has been awful so far. Even with antihistamines. Like a never-ending cold.
A milliamp is one thousandth of an amp. 5000 milliamps is 5 amps. Saying a battery is 5000 milliamp hours is saying five thousand one thousandths of an amp hours.
I’m always blown away by how intricate and delicate passionfruit flowers are.
I haven’t watched the evening news for over a year now and it’s been great.
My Apple Watch has given up on me and is a liar liar which lies. For the record, I completed my stand goal 22 times last month.
Managed to make it through all the Black Friday / Saturday / Sunday / Monday without buying anything. I was tempted by headphones, but my trusty, steadily physically-breaking Sony MDR10RBT will last another year.
I just finished playing The Last Campfire. All the feels. An incredible story and great puzzles. Took me 16 hours to complete. If you want a nice, relaxing puzzle game, and you enjoyed Monument Valley, I can’t recommend The Last Campfire enough.
