OK, a bad start for me last week in #aleague tipping with 1/6. I feel a 6/6 is coming on this week. #WEARESYDNEY #SYDNEYISSKYBLUE @sydneyfc.bsky.social @aleague.bsky.social
Really Facebook? Why? #Messenger works just fine. So we finally get Instagram on the iPad, and now you taketh away for Apple users. Booooooo.

Hey Tim Cook, how about putting #LaunchPad back on #Mac!

LaunchPad on #MacOS has been a part of my daily workflow for over a decade, but was taken away in macOS 26 and replaced with “Apps”. But it does a different task.

I agree with @macworld.com - www.macworld.com/article/2935...
I totally agree. I used it every day. Bring it back please!
I might be late to the party here, but I was scrolling through my #CarPlay screens this week and found the @nytimes.com logo. It's for their audio. And in their audio, they have a few more things, like Reporter Reads, than you get in the Apple Podcasts app as a subscriber. Nice!
Here’s an interesting anniversary I heard about today. A few days ago, it was the 80th anniversary of the filing of the first patent for a microwave oven. That’s 1945. I thought they were a 1970’s/80’s thing. There you go!

For a decade or so I’ve been super cynical about the #Socceroos, except for world cups where they mostly perform above expectations. But can I just say, this is shaping up as the Socceroos I’ve been waiting for… a bit of passion, amazing skill and depth. I’m excited! #AUS
I haven’t traveled much recently but on Friday took off and the plane went over my little hometown of Bellingen. I recalled the cities I’ve peered out the window at: Sao Paolo 22m, Beijing 20m, Tokyo 38m, Shanghai 26m and NY 19m. And here’s little old Bello with 3k people. I’m good with that.
A few weeks ago, I posted about UGreen’s Find My tags. The wallet one also works well in a glasses case.

A few cool little things I’ve found in the new iOS…
Music: you can pin six favourites in your playlists.
CarPlay: there are widgets, keep swiping right.
