How I thought I'd use a standing desk: Randomly sit and stand through out the day to improve my health.

How I actually use a standing desk: I sit all day and only raise the desk when I need to cable manage something.

Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino

Who decided these personalized Siri features should go in the WWDC keynote, with a promise they’d arrive in the coming year, when, at the time, they were in such an unfinished state they could not be demoed to the media even in a controlled environment? Three months later, who decided Apple should double down and advertise these features in a TV commercial, and promote them as a selling point of the iPhone 16 lineup?

If you're an EU citizen and you hate DRM and planned obsolescence, here's an easy petition for you to sign:

TL;DR: If online-only DRM servers shut down, publishers would be required to keep your game working regardless.

Only targets video games because that is where this practice is by far the most prevalent today, but it would set a precedent that we might soon need for things like phones, cars, and all the other things that are increasingly getting CPUs shoved inside them.

Stop Killing Games

Apple Music on macOS needs an overhaul with the user experience. iTunes used to be the testbed for new UX they wanted to try out & now... they just left it flat since Catalina.

It's a mixture of UIUX from 10+ years ago with UI that looks like they just ripped from mobile.

iTunes 11 was never my favorite but it was a complete and cohesive refresh that felt modern and where every design choice had good and deliberate intentions.

Don't tell me music is in your DNA when you abandoned the apps.
