Any iPhone Air owners out there? Curious what your battery health is like because woah boy this seems… bad?

Yep. This is all perfectly normal. Nothing to see here! 🫧

This entire thread sums up the AI bros. “You’ll need to use AI because everyone else will be. It’ll amplify your workflow.” What does that even MEAN?! You’ve heard it in a podcast somewhere and it means nothing. Ask for specifics and you can’t give them. Mass AI psychosis.

Which is weird, because these are all things Altman can’t stop banging on about his slop machine enabling. https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116567681558954255

I’m not really a Forza Horizon fan, the open worldiness has put me off. I just want to race stuff. That being said, Horizon 6 does look goooood. And, again, this is why Game Pass is worth every penny for our family.

You have got to be joking. I wouldn’t trust it with my shoe size let alone my bank data. https://www.macrumors.com/2026/05/15/chatgpt-personal-finance/

I’m sure Dominoes and other pizza places do this on purpose. Multiple offers to confuse people into picking the one that costs them the most. Just give me the best price 🤷♂️

We move house in a few days and I am not remotely prepared. There shall be much chaos and swearing, I think.

Hands down the best headset I’ve ever used. Can’t recommend the Nova 7X enough. https://mastodon.social/@appleinsider/116609713254339656

Just had confirmation we&#39;ve exchanged contracts with the seller so now we owe some bank a couple of hundred grand and now I&#39;m hyperventilating 😂 Is now a good time to remind everyone I&#39;m always available for work? https://mastodon.social/@oliverhaslam/116608237094785986

Pretty sure this is just someone not tidying the slug before hitting publish. At least, I hope it is. https://mastodon.social/@gruber/116614001681044840

As part of the new house we’re trying to cut down on subscriptions to things we don’t necessarily get value from. We’ve canceled YouTube Premium and it just expired. My theory: we get a shit ton of value from it and we’ll re-sub within days. 👀

First time I’ve picked my phone up in almost 24 hours and if anyone is wondering, I can absolutely confirm that moving house in 32-degree (Celsius, because we’re grown ups) fucking sucks. -9 out of 10. Would not recommend.

Moved into the new place but the back of our TV is weird and the universal articulated mount wont fit. So this is where we are and also this is no way to live. When I’ve found a solution the TV will float in front of all the boxes and cables and it’ll be lovely.

Ok, it might be time to do something about these notifications.
