tech literacy should be part of the curriculum in today's day and age, especially around what the internet is, how it's built, and the common bugs/outage reasons.
no one needs to know how to code even, just like how i know about the water cycle without knowing the chemical minutiae of the reactions
i hate that i like this
passkey is imho one of the most important security developments that touch consumers and also one of the worst consumer rollouts i ever witnessed because every company involved treats everything like an enterprise customer solution

it's kind of amazing how these updates can be installed over Bluetooth without any problems—but, still, why does my TV remote have software updates
can someone magically make headaches not be a thing anymore, thanks
Screenshot of Google having been asked "is blender easy", responds by saying "Blender has a steep learning curve and is generally considered difficult for beginners due to its complex interface and vast" before suddenly breaking off mid sentence and spouting off an incredibly long sequence of numbers
.... I see.
A screenshot of an email in my inbox. The email is from "Test" with the subject line "Test Email" and body "This is a test email." There is a banner above the email indicating that it is a "Time-Sensitive Transaction."
"Time-Sensitive Transaction" thank you Apple
It just works

what the heck, can you not AirPlay something to an Apple TV and play a video on your iPhone at the same time? lame
A screenshot of the Dynamic Island on my iPhone, on the home screen. It shows album artwork on the left, and an Apple TV logo on the right, to indicate that the current activity is music being played on my Apple TV via AirPlay.
A screenshot of the Dynamic Island on my iPhone, with the Discord app open. It is now split, showing an AirPlay icon on the left, and separated album artwork on the right.
i wonder why the Discord app is special and splits my dynamic island when AirPlaying to my Apple TV

it really be like this sometimes
genuinely I think the obsession with turning things into "productivity time" is a blight on the human condition
we could all stand to be a little less productive. constant productivity ain't getting you anything but stress as the oligarchy profits off your labor.
a chocolate lab puppy does his best impression of sitting in a grassy lawn. his butt is down, but his hind legs are extended fully out in front. one of his front paws is standing on his tail. his chubby pink puppy tummy paunches out in a few wrinkles. his eyebrows are raised in concern over his grayish eyes. in the background, an elder statesman yellow lab looks on with mild disapproval.
This is Breuer. He's here to let you know it's National Puppy Day. Doesn't know what that means but hopes it involves snacks. 12/10 (IG: chasenbreulabradors)
A screenshot of the alt text portion of Bluesky's 'new post' modal. The "Alt text" text box notably is not resizable, despite the fact that the "Descriptive alt text" header (and other notes in other parts of Bluesky) encourage providing descriptive alt text.
it would be really nice if this box could be expanded, smh
A screenshot of part of the "Moderation" page in my Bluesky settings. Under the Advanced section, a notice is shown that reads "Some moderation services in your list are no longer available," with a "Remove" button. Below the notice, the Bluesky Moderation Service is listed.

split-horizon dns is so neat
an image of a cat throwing a brick at you, with the word "Brick" written at the top
can people pls stop using the word "bricked" wrong its annoying
a device is not bricked until it is permanently unusable forever, if you take an android phone and remove android + recovery but leave your bootloader alone, it is not bricked, just reflash a couple things and its back to working
> Atmos seems to be quieter almost always
...I wonder if turning on "Sound Check" might help with this, hmmmm
I haven't really compared between AirPods Pro and Max, but at least with my AirPods Pro I definitely notice a change with Atmos vs regular Spatial Audio. Atmos seems to be quieter almost always, and in some cases I think it sounds worse than the regular SA track
anyone use Apple Music and listen with Dolby Atmos enabled? curious about your thoughts
bots can now use Discord's Search Guild Messages API endpoint!
while getting it ready for public use, I fixed some long-standing issues and added new search functionality!
yes!! Siri can process a handful of things locally, but if you have ANY signal at all, it will prefer that and then fail because you have poor signal. infuriating
