šŸ‘‹ I spent 10 years doing computer repair and IT, primarily for #Apple devices.

Now I do other stuff, including hobby-level programming for Apple platforms.

I typically pop onto the ā€˜don to chat about tech, programming, and pop culture.

Iā€™m building a few hobby apps, one of which is #Wotter šŸ’§, my water-tracking app.

I'm cynical because I care.

Seems obvious, now, that OpenAIā€™s Sora must have only run on the Mac Pro.

Sometimes I want to attach a name to a rando number, but don't want it in my contacts. iOS 26 supports this!

When you tap on a recent call in the Phone app, scroll down and tap "Add Name." This puts them in a special "Other Known" section in the Contacts app that doesn't mingle with your main list.

youā€™d think this @snazzyq video would be about how he's sorry for having praised TRMNL, a company whose CEO turned out to be a homophobic, transphobic, pro-Trump, Charlie Kirk-loving douche

but nope, it's actually about how much he still loves the product as well as the company's newer models that he was offered to review by that very same CEO -- oh and heā€™s also promoting his affiliate link for TRMNL purchases

"Neo" isn't my favorite name (but neither was Air), but aside from that, this is EXACTLY the laptop so many people have wanted Apple to make since the netbook era. They finally have the silicon prowess to make it happen.
