@[email protected] I agree, they would totally do something like this! Perhaps rather than have the camera running the whole time, they might create a process to record and capture an immersive background that will shift around as you move the phone

I tried the new smart ticketing system rolling out on Brisbane buses this morning with the “Express Transit Card” setting for the Apple Watch. This involves just holding your watch (or phone) near the reader once you set it up. It worked!! ☺️ Very convenient and one less card I need to carry around is a win 👍🏻

Today would be a good day to donate to #Ukraine. There is an official government website that allows you to donate to one of several funds including defense, reconstruction, medical, and de-mining.

I have a standing $25/month donation to their medical fund and periodically drop more money in on one of the other funds if there aren't boots on the ground kind of fundraisers that I'm backing at the time.

As I don't have the time and attention lately to feel confident in donating to the front line fundraisers, I donate through the Ukraine government's donation site:

I'll be showing them a little love later today. Slava Ukraini.

After 3 hours of baking I’m ready for the school bake sale tomorrow 😊 This is the first time trying loaves with spelt flour and they taste great! 😋 It’s not at all suspicious that there aren’t 4 loaves #qldvotes

Ah, life’s simple joys; like my wife upgrading to #ios18 so I can use the new text animations and emoji tapbacks in iMessage

#PPOD: This stunning photograph captures the most violent moment during an eruption of the Calbuco volcano in Chile. Volcanic lightning occurs in the plumes of eruptions when volcanic ash particles collide, generating static electricity. Additionally, water vapor in the plume condenses and freezes as it rises, adding ice to the mix. And voila! The eventual electrical discharge causes lightning.
