@drafts @agiletortoise Oh this is awesome! Didn’t know I even needed this and am so excited you posted about it. Thanks!

@leoncowle @daringfireball @atpfm I think Marco nailed it when he said the most likely scenario was free SOS and paid general messaging, something roughly comparable to Garmin inReach. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/837461

@siracusa Listened to @atpfm episode 559, and I was surprised you didn’t mention the pirate flag during the fly-though of Apple Park at the beginning of Monday’s event video.

It shows up at about 2:23. I tried to screenshot it, but of course you can’t screenshot any videos in TV app.

Seemed very fitting for a Mac-centric, Halloween-themed event.

@atpfm Listening to 555, and just some anecdotal data. I upgraded from a 13 Pro to a 15 Pro on launch day. My 13 Pro was WAY hotter the entire time I owned it. My 15 Pro occasionally gets warm, very rarely gets “hot.” Seems about the same before and after 17.0.3.

I have no doubt some users are having heat issues. But my experience is the exact opposite. Not sure why….

@jsnell @imyke A lager top sounds a lot like a radler. Jason, I don’t know if you’ll be in Colorado this summer, but Wibby Brewing in Longmont makes excellent radlers (with American-style lemonade). https://www.wibbybrewing.com/

@siracusa @gruber @tapbots Successful in declining refund on iOS, but I couldn’t get this to work on Tweetbot for macOS. Was it just one subscription or two? Can’t remember. MacOS version of the app didn’t have an update and isn’t even available on the Mac AppStore any longer.

If you were a Twitterrific or Tweetbot user, you should download the latest versions of those apps from the App Store and launch them. Here’s why: https://daringfireball.net/2023/03/tweetbot_and_twitterrific_face_the_cliff
Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.

Proposed feature for Safari: Markup.

Highlights and notes, with Pencil support, as an overlay atop the original page. Personal, not public, but synced via iCloud. I’d use this every day.

@mathowie @adra2121 Smitten Kitchen *Keepers* is FANTASTIC. Every recipe we’ve made so far has been so, so good. Highly recommend.

@hotdogsladies We totally had those same chairs when I was a kid.
