Here I am trying to make widgets sync instantly between Mac and iPhone while Apple Calendar will still keep a meeting in my iPhone widgets until the time it was originally supposed to start, even after I cancelled it two hours earlier.

Oh, so CarPlay does support video playback but only few car manufacturers opt into it.

I don’t get why the car needs to support this, though. Apple could/should just check if the connected phone is moving at driving-like speeds and offer video services when it isn’t. Core Motion can already detect this.

Experimenting with the new remote Codex in the ChatGPT app¹ and super bummed that mobile and CLI sessions don’t sync properly.

Messages from my phone don’t show up in the CLI until I quit and resume the session, and CLI messages don’t appear on mobile until I force quit and reopen the app.

Was hoping this would be seamless. Might stick with SSH for now².

In preparation for this evening's semifinal, I scrubbed through the first semifinal, which I couldn’t watch on the evening. I predict Poland's great chances of winning. #Eurovision
