My all-time favorite 3-in-1 charger, the HiRise 3 Deluxe, is the cheapest it's ever been. And the latest, fastest Qi2 25W charger from Anker is also on a wild sale. Affiliate links:

May have found my  Vision Pro use case: building Shortcuts! I build complicated ones on iPad, since it behaves closer to iPhone, but on a bigger screen.

Sometimes I want to have video playing in the background, ChatGPT open, but iPad screen gets busy.

So I'm screen mirroring iPad into Mt. Hood!

The nostalgia trip of every Version History episode is wonderful.

I was "familiar" with Kazaa and Limewire, but also, in college I found a "utility" that allowed me to see the iTunes Library of every computer on the network. Then one could "commandeer" any song you found.

Crazy times.
