One can only hope... My 13 mini's performance, especially for the Camera and Safari seem to have hit new lows with iOS 26. I'm sticking with the mini for its size, but also its weight. So far the Air is the only alternative I thin

I was able to get a new battery and screen for my 13 mini via AppleCare, but even the new battery won't get me through the day. Recent OS updates also make my camera shooting experience really slow for some reason. Even with all that,

When Apple's MobileMe came out I snagged the localhost@me.com email address, thinking how clever I was. But because filtering tools weren't as good back then I was never able to use it because of the truly massive amount of spam a

He did incredible work. The Four Horsemen from his band Aphrodite's Child really shows off his impressive prog-rock chops as well as showcasing a fantastic video of the band's persona (as well as a lot of Ouzo shots): https:&#x2F

Dammit, I was hoping Twitter would change their ToS to exclude any politicians from Florida from signing up to the service.

Could Twitter change its ToS to say something like "If you're a politician from FL you can't use Twitter" and see who blinks?

Or as @maplecocaine succinctly put in tweet form: "Each day on twitter there is one main character. The goal is to never be it"[0]. There's a LOT to improve about the hate on Twitter. I also think that trolls and griefers who

There's certainly a trope of "...but I can't give up cheese" and as someone who went from vegetarian to vegan: Yeah, cheese is hard to replicate. But also: your body and tastes adapt. After a few weeks off of dairy our m

I used to fly gas RC helicopters and the joke was that RC helis are collections of small expensive parts desperately trying to get away from each other.

Reading the two complaints, it seems that they basically obtained Discord chat records and tied those usernames to an OGUsers db that was hacked & leaked in April. Seems like the OGUsers database was the key piece of info, but it was &#

This release is more of a "we listened" release than anything else. That's likely why they didn't parade it around with an October event and instead went with a private press review and press release.

Good article this morning from the Verge [1] about how airlines dependent on a monoculture fleet are in a world of hurt because they can't leave the 737 line (too entrenched operationally) but also can't wait forever for Boeing to

WHO has details [1] about the carcinogenic impacts of animal meat consumption. There's nothing of that sort for any plant-based burgers. The arguments in these types of articles seem to ignore what I think are more serious health risks

These stories with Amazon, Postmates, etc are getting traction because they're tech companies. At least now more people are realizing that this practice is in addition to existing abuses against service workers.
