If my goal was to design a product to absolutely MAXIMIZE the number of times it would get dropped… I’m not sure I could do better than the AirPods case.
Maybe it's just an unrelated bug, I dunno...
Is this "remove history items after one year" Safari setting supposed to remove the item one year after it was first seen, or one year after it was last seen? I kind of assumed the latter, but it seems more like the former — about once a year, I effectively lose ALL of my history items in Safari, even stuff I just visited, which is very annoying. I changed the setting to "manually" for now, but it would be nice to know what it's actually supposed to do…
@siracusa Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the show notes, but do you have a link to the thing that lets you adapt a sink soap pump to pump directly from a larger bottle? I can't figure out the right search term to find this, and I'm intrigued (because my integrated soap dispenser has a pathetically small bottle that I am constantly refilling).
Since switching to Apple Music as my primary service, the one thing that continues to drive me up the wall is the inability to completely stop it from ever playing a certain artist. Why is there no block feature?!
Note to past self: do not set up a new VLAN to test something, assign a random port on your core switch to it, and then forget about it. 2 years later, you will be re-wiring your rack, unknowingly plug one of your other switches into that port, and waste an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out why things like Sonos and printers (that need to talk to each other on the local network) are behaving strangely.
Is anyone else having problems with wireless CarPlay in iOS 26 (and/or with iPhone 17 Pro)? I’m not sure if my aftermarket CarPlay unit is flaking out or if something else is going on. Lately it just occasionally fails to pair. Seems too coincidental that it started around the time I upgraded phones, but who knows…
Coming up on four months since I left my tech job. Not missing it yet…
One of my least favorite skills I picked up in my decades working in tech is the ability to immediately see when a feature has been made worse for users in order to improve some metric that the company (or an individual PM) has decided is important.
