  How is political polling even accomplished in this day and age? I don’t know how anyone could cold contact me and then convince me to provide input short of the presidential candidates themselves showing up at my door. Everything would look like a scam or data phishing. I am not going to even answer an unknown phone call. I would never click a link in an unexpected email. Random person at my door would be assume a salesman and ignored. I would actively avoid a person standing in a public area wi...

  As of iOS 18.1, it seems there is no longer a way to just turn off noise control for AirPods Pro. I have always used them mostly in the off setting and only enabled noise control when I really need it because it can give me a headache. The”Off” setting is now completely gone. I hate this decision to fundamentally change a product after purchase without the ability to control it. #Apple #airpods

  You know how the trope in American politics for years was asking if you felt like you could sit and have a beer with someone? I think we have arrived at a point where the question now needs to be, “Would I be willing to have my kids be around them?”. I can tell you that for one ticket that answer would be yes, and the other ticket would be absolutely unthinkable. I would love for my kids to meet Kamala Harris or Tim Walz, but I don’t want them within 100 miles of Donald Trump or JD Vance. #usel...

  I don’t wish this on people very often, but whoever is in charge of Homescreen management on iPadOS needs to be fired. Everything about it is wrong, frustrating, and unexpected. While attempted reorg my iPad, i have to restart multiple times, and I have seen all of the following many times: - You can place apps/widgets anywhere, except when it just decides to reflow everything on the screen. - Removing an app from one screen will somes remove it from all screens - moving an app will sometimes du...

  Fun fact given Tesla’s recent approval of a trillion dollars for Elon Musk. Instead of giving the richest man in the world who already has more money than he could ever spend even more money, they could have split that same money evenly across all of their roughly 125,000 employees and given each of them a life changing $8 million a piece. Or given it back to stock holders, or just made their cars cheaper. There is absolutely no justification for giving that much money to a single person.

  @CStamp @gedeonm I tend to just go around the board in a circle and get comfortable switching back and forth to use up length in a short block. 60 was hard, but 40 is pretty standard

  @Iconfactory I know it doesn’t get updates, but if anyone ever decides to open up the code for Ollie’s Arcade again, I would love if the snake game wouldn’t randomly place the next pink dot where it literally can’t be continued without ending the game. I can’t ever get a screenshot, but several times a have had the pink appear surrounded by 3 white dots. It always happens when I am nearing a high score and is a real bummer
