I highly recommend this one! It goes down quick and smooth, but will keep you thinking about it long after finishing the final page. Keegan captured the inner dilemma of human morality here.

Outcome Reef Hawk, Hollywood's poster child since age six, is not okay. When he learns about an extortion plot tied to a mysterious video, Reef preemptively sets out on a redemption tour to make amends, confront his demons, and avoid getting canceled.

A weird one. Felt more like a long YouTube, or rather Vimeo, film than anything else. The A-list cast and their skill kept me watching cause the story sure didn’t. Oh, and Jonah Hill was unrecognizable until he spoke! A rare miss from Apple TV.

Two people wearing helmets are close together smiling outdoors among trees. Overlay text reads Marilee Faist 1 review 5 stars a year ago I’ve always wanted to rock climb but had no clue where to start. Jarrod gave us several options that were perfect for our family. My 7 year old son has Spina Bifida and hiking and rock climbing never seemed like an option for our family. The care he took with him was amazing. He carried our son on his back through trails and even up one of the cliffs. Our trip would not have been possible without the expertise and motivation of Jarrod. Anyone looking to make their trip to the Adirondacks the best possible needs to contact Jarrod

One of my favorite-ever days of guiding was taking Ian rock climbing! He was so brave while doing something brand-new, and showed the world that nothing will stop him from achieving his goals!

Got it as an audiobook via my library/Libby. I just love it when books are read by the author themselves. They get the names and cadence of everything right. I can already tell it’s going to be a fun — and well-produced — listen!

Snow-covered slope reflects sunlight while bare branches protrude nearby. Forested hills stretch into the distance beneath a partly cloudy blue sky.

Goodness, what a special show. Right up there with Trying as one of my favorites from Apple TV.

Every episode was so good. Equally spit take funny and heartwarming. The season’s arc, as a whole, was perhaps not as cohesive as past ones, but I still loved it.

Ricky Mondello (@rmondello@hachyderm.io) Attached: 1 video Did you know that you can export your saved data (including passkeys!) from Apple Passwords to another app on your iPhone or iPad? Top level of the app, ... menu, “Export Data to Another App”. And you can export your saved data (including passkeys) from 1Password to another app on your iPhone or iPad, too! Top level of the app, user avatar, Settings, Advanced, Start Export. Folks from 1Password, Dashlane, Bitwarden, NordPass, Apple, and Google collaborated on a data interoperability standard to make this possible. Building on top of that, iOS has first-class support for migrating that standardized data between apps. Not all apps will support all of the data that’s possible to be transferred, but this really might help you switch from one app to another. There’s no need for a desktop computer and a CSV file, and those CSV files never supported migrating passkeys. The OS support for this exists on Mac, but third-party apps have been slower to adopt it. Everything I’ve said here is public information and available to use on your i{Phone,Pad}OS 26 devices today.

PSA: Switching from 1Password to Apple Passwords? (Been very happy with the swap, personally.) It’s probably worth migrating on your iPhone instead of a Mac. You can migrate everything directly from app to app, rather than exporting to a CSV file as an intermediary and leaving behind your passkeys.
