One thing I’m not loving in the iOS 17 beta is how if there’s anything AirPlay nearby, you don’t get to see the time anymore.

When you’ve got a million dollar budget, but nobody’s able to make sure “click this banner” actually has a clickable URL. whomp whomp
I appreciate that The Chicks have updated their stage show with Trump and friends’ mug shots. Got a large round of applause even here, north of the border.
I’d rather be alone in a new place where I’m supposed to be alone, than alone in a place where people know me.

Why can’t truck shopping be simple like buying a Mac? 🤔 😆 M1 or M2. Laptop or desktop. Done.
If you’re vehicle shopping, don’t test drive a vehicle with CarPlay unless you plan to buy it. Even though it has nothing to do with how well a vehicle drives, imho every other vehicle without CarPlay feels vastly inferior.
Really looking forward to the future Strike Force Five podcast episode where they talk about toxic work environments and how to deal with claims of abuse when you’re the boss.
Or maybe they’ll just change the name to Strike Force Four to avoid talking about anything serious.

The macOS Ventura 13.5.2 update appears to have rendered my old Focusrite audio interface unable to connect to my Mac Studio. 🥲

Editors love editing challenges. 💪
By using this little bit of automation on my iPhone to automatically open Threads when I start Twitter, I end up being annoyed at both Twitter and Threads in the same go and shut them both down.
Interesting. 37Signals, a company that made a bazillion dollars off subscription app services (SaaS), is now saying that’s going away for a lot of apps and that we’re going back to owning our software again. I think the monthly revenue model works too well to bet against it. I’m skeptical.
Once again tempted to sign up for an omg.lol address for no good reason other than it’s fun. I already have plenty of domains and hosting options. And yet…
The output is so mediocre and uninspiring that if it were a person, it’d say that LinkedIn was “exciting”, its favourite colour would be beige, and it’d think that Tom Cruise is “sexy”.

One reason I’ve found Arc (or other browsers) to be quicker than Safari is a search in Safari seems to trigger external hard drives spinning up for some reason? Not 100% of the time, but often on first load. I can’t explain it other than maybe Spotlight something something?
