I am curious. I help people frustrated with how difficult it is to use technology. Find me working at APi Group, writing at Micro.blog and posting on Instagram.

The one thing that always inspires me to change something is to take decisive action. Then I see how much better it could be if I would only fix everything I just did.

I promise I won’t post every Spam message. I just wanted to illustrate that if you’re seeing it more, lately, you’re not alone.

I wish individual Notes had anchor tags, like old HTML, so I could have a sort of table of contents for a long note and jump from the top of a note to a specific section.

That feeling when you learn your phone is still in your car because your glucose monitor app is reporting a lack of communication with the sensor.

The Democrats are just the absolute *worst* at politics. No question that the Republicans were being blamed for the shutdown. It sucked a lot but at least the politics were working. Now, by caving for nothing, they invalidate all that and leave people asking what the point was? It’s now their fault.

TIL, with a heavy heart, that the browser extension for Bear and the Stop the Madness extension on iPadOS make Safari open new tabs with every link.
It does not at all seem to be related to any of the Safari Settings themselves. It is also not every extension.

I have studied Plex a little more over the past few days, and found a way to improve recognition of lesser-known films and learned how to show more than one version of the same movie. It’s about metadata in the file names.

Have learned a bit more about T2 Intel Macs and Apple Configurator. Love it when the envelope gets bigger. Confounded that DFU uses different tools depending on the device you’re working on.

So crestfallen that Apple Magic Keyboards — at least circa model A1644 — will only pair to a single device. That is awesome with Universal Control, but not awesome when you are away from that station
