I’m about to embark on a long and treacherous journey: sorting out all my files on on my backup volumes and folder, finding duplicates and making a canonical version of my files. I’m sick of having terabytes of digital “stuff" just sitting there.
Wish me luck.
Allow me to introduce you to James Hoffmann. He talks about coffee, and he’s marvellous.
China has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2060. That’s utterly lethargic. 40 years? Almost none of the people in power in China right now will still be alive in 40 years. If you’re over 40, you may well not be either.
There are people alive today who’ve smoked cigarettes all their life because Fred Flintstone told them to.
I wish I could use iPad-style two-finger cursor dragging on my iPhone. There’s so little space under the space bar (which you have to long press to drag on the iPhone) to place the cursor if you’re at the top of a block of text.
In other Bluetooth device news, I absolutely love the automatic device switching that iOS 14 does with my AirPods now. So good. So, so good. This is how Bluetooth headphone should have always worked.
Once you start using a keyboard and mouse/trackpad on your iPad, there’s no going back. It’s a really laptop replacement.
Anyway, I just accidentally droppped my Magic Mouse on the floor and now my iPad has no pointing device and I don’t want to spend a hundred dollars.
I know people don’t get medals for unsubscribing from things or stopping things. However, I am noting for myself here: I have unsubscribed from all my tech podcasts because they are insufferable. I need less rage-inducing things in my life. Let’s see if it lasts.
When do my New Zealand peeps normally start applying sunscreen? Feels like it should be around now until the end of April…
I’m on board with not mowing lawns. Cutting the grass? Cut it out!
Wow. micro.blog version 2 looks great @manton.
I know being an Indy or small app developer is hard. But I have serious subscription fatigue. I’m not paying $73 a year for a calendar app when I can make do with the default. I’m not paying $37 a year so I can make custom widgets. A writing app isn’t worth $80 a year to me.
I wish iOS widgets could be 4 apps wide but only 1 app high. Like a 1U server.
Cool. Electric aeroplanes! Sounds Air aims to offer first regional zero-emission flights
This is a reasonably basic request that the machines of our glorious machine-learning present should understand. But no. Of course not.
A year ago I thought of a conversation I’d have to have in French when we move back to Wellington. I panicked because I just couldn’t think of 80% of the words I’d need. Today I thought of that conversation again and I flowed without thinking about it. Yes! Um, oui! C’est bon.
I’m rewatching Star Trek: Discovery before the new season starts next month. I’m up to the mirror universe part of season 1 and holy hell it’s dark. Are… are we in the mirror universe?
Update on iOS 14 battery woes: turns out it’s any widget with location data. So maps, weather with your current location, etc. Turn those off and your phone will be back to normal battery consumption.
Hey Kiwis, daylight saving starts tonight, so remember to do absolutely nothing because all the clocks that matter to you are connected to the internet and will change automatically.
Does anyone remember the name of the Windows 98 extension that let you super customise the entire look of the desktop?
Anyone else find that iOS 14 is murdering their battery?
Update: it is now actually Friday.
That’s a low-blow suggestion Siri. Why you gotta be so truthful?
