TikTok has a Live Studio app (Windows only) for live streaming out to TikTok - enabling gamers to stream. You need to have 1,000 followers or more to use it. Privacy issues aside, it’s interesting to watch them iterate so much faster than Instagram / Meta in this space.

Found via @veronique - yet another really simple blogging site called Bear blog with a delightful tagline of “Publish something awesome with your bear hands.” Free to use, custom domain support, and just write.

There’s a great country style cover of Tayler Swift’s Anti-Hero from an artist on TikTok that, if I want to pre-save it on Apple Music, I have to allow some FFM app access to my listening activity and media library? How broken is this all?

A screenshot of a dialogue pop up that shows FFM.to requesting access to my Apple Music media library and listening activity.

If you’ve been using Warp for a macOS terminal, check for an update before updating to Ventura. Nothing critical but will save you having to manually download the app again.

MacRumors writers: “How do we illustrate that a rumored 16” iPad is bigger than the current 12.9" iPad Pro?"

MacRumors graphic department: “On it!”

This is a friend’s new puppy here to cleanse the timeline.

Randomly have a UVFSService using up your Intel Mac’s CPU? Try removing Bootcamp - if you use it - from Spotlight’s search. (System Pref > Spotlight > Privacy > + > Find the Bootcamp drive and and click “Choose”)

From when they announce OS updates back at WWDC to when it’s finally released, I often forget why I should bother upgrading. The main reason I’m looking forward to macOS Ventura is Mail improvements - but this list helped me remember what else has changed.

Another series that makes the monthly price of Apple TV+ worth it is Bad Sisters. Lovely Irish accents, lovely Irish scenery, Eve Hewson (daughter of Paul) is awesome in it, and lovely murder mystery fun. (Not quite finished S01 here so no spoilers!)

Idea for a new add-on service I could offer clients: check your breathing rhythm to make sure you’re getting enough oxygen. (This is @stolinski’s pattern. Seems healthy enough to my non-doctor eyes. 💯/ 💯)

If you do nothing else different this week, please tell someone why you want to talk when you ask them to give you a call or have a meeting. A simple “Hey want to catch up” or “Hey want to ask you about your income tax from 2019” goes a long way to helping an anxious brain.

Still mowing the lawn and nearing the end of October. Not bad. ☀️

I would buy one of those new yellow iPads, except I still have buyer’s guilt over Breath of the Wild and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater both sitting unfinished, and those were $70 each, not $799.

Well that and I wish they’d add multi-user support to the iPad. Family is gonna share.

I woke up to 26 tabs of the same thing. I think my @elgato Stream Deck is trying to phone home?

Well surely that sign wasn’t directed at me?!

A sign reading “don’t eat me” in front of a piece of cake in a package on a kitchen counter.

Maybe the fact that the new base model iPad doesn’t support Stage Manager is actually a feature and not a limitation?

I always know it’s going to be a great recording to edit when this is the accompanying screenshot from a client. 😱 😂
