Good morning all and happy halloween. Did anyone watch the #ScaryFast event from #Apple last night? I wonder if they're not making MacBook Airs anymore as all I saw that was getting the M3 chips are the pro models.

Hey guys. It's Shawn. On Twitter I was @shawnk_aka_bbs. Like you, I moved over to Mastodon because the ableist and anticonsumer moves that Elon Musk has made since he took over is despicable. Anyway, enough about that. I'm 39 going on 40 and my interests are technology, video games, politics and sports, specifically NBA, Winnipeg Jets Hockey and Tennis. I do stream on Twitch which is why I chose my current display name. You can follow it by going to twitch.tv/bbsshawn.
I'm not sure if you know this about me, but I'm a really big #NBA fan. So I've been listening to a few games on SiriusXM and I've noticed that now both the horn and shot clock buzzer have been going off at the same time when a substitution is made or out of a time out. Before select arenas did this but now it seems like every arena is doing this now. Is this tied to a new rule that was implemented this season or what?
@PlayStationPark Is Bloody Roar finally coming to the PS5?
@9to5Mac I wish I had the M1 MacBook Air when it was new. I guess it's still fairly new even in 2023. At least I have it now.
@PhilippaB If you have the Alexa app installed on your phone, you can ask her to read any Kindle book in your library as long as it supports text to speech. Or you could see if they finally made the app accessible on iOS.
Not sure if either #NeatherRealm Studios or #EdBoon are on Mastodon, but someone needs to tell them that Invasions Mode in #MortalKombat1 needs to be made accessible. It doesn't make sense that the rest of the game is accessible but one part isn't. Just another example of game developers making a half assed effort of making their games accessible.
@Faylen yeah. The I seven processor is pretty good. Also, I-9 is pretty top-of-the-line as well.
@Faylen Well I have an M1 MacBook Air with 8 GB of Ram but I'm assuming she needs a PC. But 8 GB is good enough for me.
Voice assistants desperately, desperately need an AI infusion…
One more thing. I'm so glad that we ended the Concervatives' rein of terror in last night's #ManitobaProvincialElection. I really hope the NDP makes this province more accessible than it is in terms of employment. I know it's gonna be nice when they open up the emergency rooms in the hospitals that the concervatives shut down. It was very stupid of them shutting those locations down. So yeah, here's to 4 years of positive changes.
