Zach Reno is so freaking funny. His “The Grinch Who Stole Shark Week” prompt on tonight’s #MakeSomeNoise was a masterpiece 😂

“Reopen windows after reboot” has never been useful to me. Yeah, what I need after a reboot is a million apps opening all at once to their start up screen, completely forgetting what I was working on

Just did this, it was easy. If you’re with Schwab (like me), you should have gotten an email on 1/13 with instructions for how to do it online

If you’re an Apple shareholder, consider voting against Tim Cook at this year’s meeting. Takes less than a minute to do online and if enough smaller investors do, it sends a message that there are some things that are a hell of a lot more important than money.

This is the single worst thing about iOS 26, and I don’t even think it’s a bug. I think they think it’s cool that the UI bounces like that

I think the worst bug on iOS 26 is the thing with buttons where you can tap them enough to make them appear to actuate — the button bounces — but it doesn’t fire. Explain to me why this should even be possible. 🫠

Sometimes I can put something in my ears (music, podcast, etc.) and it just perfectly calms my probably-ADHD brain and I can focus. And other times, I feel like I desperately need that thing, and I can’t put my finger on what to play. It’s maddening.

Back on my BS trying to AI generate audiobooks for books that don’t have them. They’re like an order of magnitude worse than a real, narrated audiobook, but it’s at least two orders of magnitude better than just using a screen reader

Absolutely insane that you can run one docker compose and get a full windows VM with RDP in a browser window
