Someone just cancelled their subscription and wrote: “low support”. They literally never wrote in for support, and the last email we sent them 4 months ago (that they never replied to) was from me, offering help if they needed it 🤦‍♂️

I just love when I get into a ride share car and there’s a slight delay before they change the music selection to hip hop or rap

Synology + Apple TV + Tailscale + unplugging just enough from the hotel TV to disable their control box, unplugging the TV power for a bit then plugging it back in = private Netflix

There’s not much left before the Receiver (https://receiverhq.com) launch!

The more I think about it, the less convinced I am that Tesla is canceling the Model S and Model X forever. I wouldn’t put it completely past the CEO, he’s a complete moron… but this may be just the nonsense that they pull from time to time at the end of quarters where they do some nonsense to goose sales, supercharged.

If you’re going to stop making the Model S and Model X for a while while you do a complete redesign (and use the factory for something else in the meantime) the best way to get as many sales as possible of these cars (that don’t sell in high numbers) in the shortest amount of time before you tear down the assembly lines is to say that they are being discontinued forever. You were already going to tear the lines down for the big redesigns anyway, but this way you get extra benefit. You can’t tell everyone that they’re being redesigned. That would kill the already low sales, Osborne style.

Then, everyone who really wants one will buy their “last” one. And they’ll grumble but they’ll also have five years of warranty and eight years of parts being available, which gives Tesla time to then dramatically decide to start making them again.

They could’ve just turned the lines off with no announcement, but they didn’t.

Who knows, I could be completely wrong about this!

If your Apple Watch stops responding to Siri all of a sudden, especially for on device things like setting timers… before you go through the trouble of rebooting your Watch and your iPhone, make sure that the microphone port on the Apple Watch is clean.

My favorite part of Letterkenny is the Canadian insults that I’ve never heard before, but are instantly understandable, like: “you’re spare parts, aren’t you bud?”

do i like bread or do i really just like cultured butter

They say, “don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing” but sometimes you end up using your right hand to close the drawer on your left hand while it’s trying to put a dish away so maybe that’s not the best advice

Switched to the Bear app recently for notes, and I’m switching away immediately because it doesn’t have history, somehow I overwrote part of an important note and I can’t get it back.

My fault, I thought that history was a table-stakes feature. This is your warning.

Real-time payments are pretty crazy. No 3-day waiting period to receive funds? Every time I make one, it makes me think of DBZ.

Instant Transmission!

I very carefully opened Software Update on my main MacBook Pro because I was restarting the computer anyway, which I do very rarely… so I figured I might as well update to the latest version of Sequoia.

Carefully went to the bottom of the screen, past the big Tahoe upgrade area, where it showed that I would be updating to the latest version of Sequoia.

I clicked through the EULAs and when I got back, somehow freaking Tahoe was on my Mac.

UGH

I’m beginning to believe that angels do exist, but they’re in human form.

Anyone can float down into someone else’s life for a period of time and improve it immeasurably.

Anyone can ask the right questions at the right time to help someone look differently at their life, to transport their thinking years into the future… to help them to safely do things outside of their comfort zone.

I definitely have an angel like that in my life right now and I will miss her so much when she is gone.

Almost from the day we met, she informed me that there was a time limit on our time together, which was bad news up front. But it was a gift, because it’s given me the ability to appreciate every moment and to never take any of it for granted.

Of course, that’s how we should live every day, in every relationship. Everything ends, but we don’t act that way most of the time.

And you can be an angel to someone else.

Buying my parents new iPhones for Christmas. Apple is more ass now than ever. Not only are phones more expensive than they used to be, you don’t get any AppleCare coverage included so you have an annual/monthly subscription for that now too. So now they get a new subscription for Christmas!

I guess Facebook finally did their first good thing ever #byedye

Achievement unlocked: The 2 of us ordered so much food at a restaurant that we had to be seated at a 4 top, and they put in the notes for the future that we should always be seated at a 4 top.

I just bought a SaaS app that has potential. I’m writing a newsletter about why I did it & how it happened. I’ll keep writing as I work to make it better, get more customers and relaunch it. Join the newsletter if you’re interested!

I left town for the weekend. Packed my Steam Deck case and didn’t realize that I left the Deck on my desk, charging until I was 4 hours away, unpacking.

Chicago wasn’t the right name for that band.

It should have been named Peter et Cetera

watchOS has an app named Heart Rate. If you say “heart rate” to Siri on Apple Watch, she says, “I can’t help you with that”

TFW you put water in your shaker bottle, add protein powder in your shaker & shake it up.

Then you pop it open, tilt it back and inhale/choke on a cloud of unmixed protein powder

Halloween costume that would kill in New Jersey: You dress up as the guy from Barbie, but with ragged clothes and a bindle over your shoulder.

Hobo Ken.

Only Murders in the Building should actually be titled Cameo. I will provide no explanations
