Jack of all trades, master of none. Have done stuff spanning from low voltage wiring in new houses, to tax accounting, to low-code application development (my current role). Wanna be writer, avatar and header are art of my MC.

Avid audio entertainment consumer, music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc, are all great.

@viticci More power to you, but I really don't understand why people like working on iPads. Every time I try to do anything even semi-serious on one it is just constantly running head first into roadblocks. I'm way more likely to switch to Windows or Linux than I am to move to iPad full time. It has an amazing screen that I love watching video on, but that is about it.

Anyone know of a MDM solution for home users? I understand it isn't designed for that purpose, but Apple's choices around parental controls leave me few other options.

> nobody is encouraging it

You might not be, but I've definitely seen people encouraging people to target others the same way.

@covercash @marcoarment Been an American my entire life.

None of what you just said equates to people viewing it as "righteous".

> overall sentiment is still that his actions were righteous

Might be time to get out of your bubble. Only the the terminally online even entertain that opinion, no one else.

@verge It really is too bad that Amazon insists on making the Echo devices terrible with advertising. I'd understand it if they were just giving the hardware away, but I paid good money for it and refused to have ads, random promos, etc forced on me.

@jsnell When my Oasis kicks the bucket I need to hold a viking funeral for it. Sage is great, I just need to get out of the habit of buying from Amazon.

I didn’t mention this on my watchOS review because I didn’t have the new hardware (and no one knew until the series 10 was out) but as @jsnell perfectly puts it, the lack of development on Apple Watch faces is ‘stupid’.
Apple is killing it in so many other ways on the watch but watch faces have been treading water for years.
