Adding a bit of colour and a bit of playfulness ๐ฎ
It's so tiny, makes me smile everytime I hold it.
Btw, this tiny green thing has made it into my 7kg carry on only luggage on my upcoming trip .
Finally found an #AI implementation that I can genuinely benefit from every day.
This app is able to scan podcast episode and identify #ads and #promotions and importantly skips them.
The app is in early development but this aspect of the app works well.

Few years on, I still think the #pixelweather app on #android strikes the right balance of beauty and useful information ๐

This is an interesting #opensource project for taming your #email notifications. It works with @fastmail.com and #gmail

There are few places on this beautiful planet of ours where it's truly heavenly.
#queentown is one of those places.
This is my third visit and everytime, I am mesmerised by its natural beautiful ๐
Sunsets are always beautiful.
Even on the days where I am feeling down, looking at a #sunset makes me feel better
Weight of the phone is often gets the least attention but it matters greatly for overall use.
The iPhone 13 mini is 30% lighter than the iPhone 16 pro... 30% is nothing to sneeze it

Google's find my alternative called Find Hub is pretty great. The #SONOS Ace can be located via the Find hub. I do not believe non Apple branded headphones have findmy support. Happy to be proven wrong.
My mood has significantly improved. That is the power of locally roasted coffee beans ๐ซ โ
Buy local, support local ๐

I got access to @raycast.com Windows Beta ๐
So far so good. It is beta but it still is very much Raycast.
I have a couple of invites if you are interested:

We take it for granted how lucky we are to have #opensource software.
It really is magical because not only the source code is publicly available, it's free.
So, do your part. donate ๐ฐ
@davx5.com is a good example.
The Resident on #netflix
Go watch it.
I may have found my next sleep tracker.
It has:
- 7 day battery life
- Arm band instead of a something on the wrist
- Smart Wake Alarm
- HRV status
- stress tracking
- machine washable
Little pricy at AUD300 but no subscription is a plus

The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse has a one-year warranty in Australia and a two-year warranty in the UK.
What the bloody hell? The location of the buyer shouldn't determine the warranty period.
Come on, Logitech, back your product to survive down under.

Which #browser on #android has a new tab button in its menu bar?
Seems like a no brainer to me but ever other browser is two taps or more to open new tab ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So far, I have only found Arc (pictured)
This comment on the WSJ interview video by @joannastern.bsky.social with Apple executives is perfect:
"we need more tech moms that ask kids questions like these."
Full interview is now available:

Thank you @1password.bsky.social for bringing drag and drop support on #android. Just tried it on my Pixel Fold and it was glorious ๐
This #wwdc interview by @Apple executives was not bad.
Perhaps, Apple will do more of these interviews.
I found it interesting that Apple will equip developers to bring AI into their apps by integrating with Apple at the system level.

Good way for start the day
#android 16 is here ๐
Discovered this new #watchface for my #pixelwatch and I like it's minimalistic vibe.

The fine folks at @flexibits.com are so good.
#fantastical on #windows is beautiful ๐
Going subscription likely enabled development of their amazing calendar app on Windows and I am grateful for that ๐
This is a neat feature on #windows, allowing you to "end task" of the app right from the app icon.
This feature is not enabled by default. Go to Settings > For Developer and enable "end task"
This must be recent because I had not seen this before.

Agree. Apple Weather is a slick app too.
Both do not appear to source their data from BOM though.
The rain forecast on the Google Weather app has been pretty accurate lately, not to mention the design is beautiful ๐ as well
