I spend most of my time making noises

Guitars

Drums

Cordless drills and table saws

The soft taps of fingers on a Mac keyboard

Tumbling down the stairs in a rush to get a package

Yelling at podcasts for being pedantically wrong

Chewing loudly

iPad feature request: auto "deep sleep" after 24h idle (10 seconds to wake is okay). iPads used to last over 30 days on standby, but every time I pick one up now after less than a week it's dead

Steve Jobs announcing the iPad 2:

This would make a fine campaign ad.
In the last 10 years, Paris has closed 100 streets to cars, removed 50,000 parking spots, tripled parking fees for SUVs, and built more than 800 miles of bike lanes. “Those changes have contributed to a 40% decline in air pollution.” https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/paris-olympics-city-reduce-air-pollution-rcna153470

There's probably half a dozen reasons I prefer my problematic Swedish music streamer to the eponymous offering from Cupertino, and here's one.

If you like the music in a TV show like "Outer Range?" There's a pretty good chance someone has made a playlist of it. In this case, the playlist was made by the company that makes the show.

This is awesome, and everyone should do this.

Xcode should let you specify a list of regular expressions describing false positive debug console warnings you never want to see.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

Pro-tip: to install the developer strap, don’t use the the front hole near the strap (it’s actually on the inside).

Source: me. Who just obliterated one of the front microphones by mistake ☹️

‘Seismic shift’: push toward SUVs makes driving unaffordable for many. Luxury vehicles and soaring insurance prices have sent the cost of US car ownership out of control. The average new car today sells for nearly $49,000, and the average used car lists at more than $26,000 – representing a 31% increase for new cars and nearly 40% increase for used cars since 2020. These increases have brought the total cost of car ownership to all-time highs in a country where cars aren’t really optional.

My pixel-clicking tutorial for Linea is on YouTube. I had so much fun making this! 🤓 If you’ve always wanted to try pixel clicking icons, Linea makes it easy to get started.

I cover how to create “pixels”, drawing curves, coloring & shading and lots more. All of what you see can be done in the free version of the app but you could also follow along w/ graph paper & some markers!

Would really appreciate a like on the vid & sub to our YT channel too. Thx!
