YouTube has decided I need to know everything about NAS storage. Why are there so many videos about this? And why do they all act like it’s the most essential thing a person can own?

I do not need a NAS. (Do I need a NAS?)

WWDC 2026: The Year Siri Runs Out of Excuses (and Developers Run the Show) I watched Apple’s WWDC 2026 announcement replay this morning while I waited for the usual buzzwords.

Apple just turned WWDC 2026 into an AI referendum.
Siri’s getting a new brain, Core AI is replacing Core ML, and MacBook Neo is the cheap escape hatch for anyone burned by iPadOS limits. Here’s why I think this is Siri’s last real chance #Apple #WWDC26 #tech #technology

A $599 MacBook Can Do More Than a $2,000 iPad Pro, and That's a Choice Apple Made Reviewing iPadOS 26 and what Apple needs to fix before iPadOS 27, because the MacBook Neo just made their software limitations impossible to ignore.

Drafts as Hub- How AI Helped Me Connect Five Apps on iPad -Part 4 What broke, what I compromised on, what I built and never use.

Final part of my Drafts as Hub series. This one's about what broke and what I'd do differently.

Meeting notes too complex for Drafts. Apple Notes still has no real API. Lessons learned.

#Olympics on #Peacock hit different when you're getting a medical degree from the ad breaks. Do I have restless leg syndrome? I do now.

Seriously, though ... there are so many pharmaceutical ads. Way too many in my humble opinion.

Weekly Newsletter - Issue No. 12 The Week I Got Nerdy, Got Mad, and Found the Thread: Drafts Automation, Exelon's Senator, and Safari's Identity Crisis

This week's premium newsletter: I published the first of a four-part Drafts automation series, called for a Maryland senator's resignation over Exelon's bill, and investigated Safari's iPad identity fraud. .

Safari 26.3 Is Here, and the iPad Is Still Pretending to Be a Mac Safari 26.3 dropped yesterday with a new compression algorithm, some Navigation API improvements for single-page apps, and a handful of bug fixes.

Safari 26.3 dropped today. Bug fixes, new compression, and nothing addressing the fact that your iPad tells every website it's an Intel Mac from 2019.

iPadOS Safari isn't macOS Safari. It's mobile Safari in a desktop costume.

Exelon Found Their Guy. He's Been a Senator for 60 Days Sen. Kevin Harris introduced Exelon's bill as the lone sponsor after every other lawmaker said no.

Exelon has 34 lobbyists, spent $925K lobbying, ran Super Bowl ads - and couldn't find one senator to introduce their bill.

Then Kevin Harris, in office 60 days, volunteered as the lone sponsor. He admitted he doesn't know if it's good policy.

Apple Has Failed At Artificial Intelligence. Again. YouTube video by Apple Explained

Great YouTube breakdown about Apple's AI drama

I'm done. I will never use or recommend #AppleCard again. If a company won't return money you accidentally overpaid, they don't deserve your business. Learn from my mistake

I know #applecard is transitioning from Goldman Sachs to Chase soon. Doesn't matter. The experience has shown me everything I need to know. No cancellation safeguards, no customer-first resolution, no accountability.

Let me be clear: I don't owe them this money. It was an overpayment on my own account. And they decided to just… keep it.

Day 9: I get an email. Apple Card/Goldman Sachs has denied my refund request. They're keeping my overpayment. My own money, sent by mistake, and they won't return

So I contacted #applecard support (Goldman Sachs) within minutes of realizing my error. They said they'd file a request and it would take 8–10 business days. Fine. I waited.

No big deal, right? I'll just cancel the duplicate. Except — Apple Card has NO option to cancel a pending payment. Zero. Something most banks let you do without a second thought.

My scheduled @apple Card payment hadn't posted yet one morning, so I manually sent a payment for the same amount thinking something was wrong. Minutes later, the scheduled payment went through too. Double payment.

Warning to all #AppleCard holders: If you accidentally overpay your bill, there is no way to cancel it — and they will refuse to refund you. Here's my experience. #AppleSupport #Goldmansachs #Apple #ConsumerRights

What an amazing halftime show with #BadBunny! A true treasure and true artistry mixing music with political messaging. And #RickyMartin! I loved every second!
