Happy Birthday, Apple! 🥳

I have friends with Samsung TV’s and find all the software abhorrent. They ask me to come over and fix it. Even the matching Samsung speakers with surround lose connection all the time. It’s disappointing. Luckily, I bought an LG and find it mostly great. It’s doesn’t get in the way of my AppleTV.

I get democrat spam all the time to my email address but meant for my mom. It’s like the party shares email lists. Dems or Reps alike should have some restraint over breaking mass emailing rules.

Bezos owns less than 9% of Amazon, the rest is owned by shareholders.

He owns 100% of the Washington Post so perhaps that’s what you should promote boycotting.

Wow, Bluesky is mostly political posts. Why?

It’s interesting that these “professional” podcasts have so many layers. Why do they need iHeart to be a distributor?

Ask your Senators to go Pro on SB 5377:

You can also be sure to ask WA State lawmakers to be for the SB 5377 which removes Tesla’s grandfathered vehicle dealer status. Unlike franchise dealers, Tesla is the only automaker who can sell direct in the State. Direct sales hurts competition.

The car market is interesting right now. Do you think the EV market is ultimately doomed or just going through a growth challenge due to charging infrastructure or other market forces?

Sometimes he just looks unamused. #cat

Did they distribute free test kits this year?
(I missed CES for first time in 23 years!)

It’s hit and miss depending on the kid. Baby 1 was fussy and needed constant walks up and down hallway. Baby 2 went right to sleep after a few weeks.

The biggest thing nobody tells you? You’ll find the energy because you’ll be high on being a parent. Don’t fear it. :)

This is a pretty scary phishing scheme for Apple IDs. My grandmother got this today. Thankfully she was suspicious and knew to ask me to confirm, but I’d bet this one works pretty often.

Dear NFL @nflbluesky.bsky.social , please don’t allow Netflix to broadcast football anymore. They suck at it and they’re way too self promoting. The interim programming is so bad. Please, please never again.

I challenge all of you AI artists to get any AI to draw an upside down pear. They simply won't do it.

I wish I still had my OM-2n!

@leolaporte.me Happy Birthday!

I hope new Jaguar is like New Coke was and gets reversed. Otherwise, we will have another Saab story.

Went from ProMax to Pro with iPhone 16. Quite happy to be more compact. Planning on adding an iPad mini into the mix whenever they get around to updating it.

Maybe Democrats in office should stop worrying about the color of our text message bubbles and focus on the important issues surrounding our government?

Is there a 3rd party tool to manage your socials that includes BlueSky and Mastodon?

Are you on any Mastodon instances?

Happy Birthday, Apple

Sad to hear that Bob Heil has passed. What a brilliant guy! RIP Bob.

Are political party campaigns operating under the same rules for text messaging as companies? I am seeing a lot of junk text with no way to STOP.

17?
