Darn it, Apple, last year you got it right. This year you've once again reverted to inconsistency. It's "times". Not "X". It's an "8 times" lens. Not an "8 X lens". 🤨

It's encouraging that US Defense meteorologists will still have the #ssmis #microwave #satellite data and will be able to provide personalised forecasts for non-military purposes, should the Secretary of Defense wish to impress anyone. #dmsp #sounder #weather

Me: Hey Siri. When will it stop raining?
Siri: I don't think it is raining now
Me: Hey Siri. It is raining.
Siri: I've added that to your Library
After checking Apple Music I determined that Siri had just added "It's Raining, It's Pouring" to my Library.

Who would have thought? The least annoying social feed I have at the moment is Insta. The Insta follow that is bringing me the most of the US shenanigans is The Onion. Sorry The Onion, but I'm putting you in the sin bin.😕🇳🇿

ByteDance have botched the US #TikTokban. I've never given my location as anything but New Zealand, but I guess my old TT account is hosted on US servers. I am blocked. I'm also not impressed that BD is seemingly supporting an inauguration stunt. They should not trust a 90 day reprieve.

Whenever I think of Jimmy Carter I think of polarising NZ Prime Minister Robert Muldoon. Whenever I think of Rob Muldoon I think of Jimmy Carter. For a long time I've not thought of Muldoon first. Jimmy well and truly won that battle. 🇳🇿🥜🇺🇸 #NewZealand #politics #peanut

I earned the level 10 Marathoner badge! dropsapp.page.link/a7GT Drops app is a fun aid to learning many languages. It requires you to associate graphics with words. That usually works well, but can be confusing due to ambiguity or cultural differences. #learning #language #spanish

I'm using apps daily to learn Spanish. They make it kind of fun, but sometimes I need to know "why?". #Copilot has turned out to be very good at giving me clear grammar explanations. I don't take it for granted that it's correct, but it is usually spot on. #language #spanish #learning #ai #duolingo

My Kagi kagi.com (paid search) subscription auto-renewed a couple of months ago. I was briefly a bit shocked at the price, then I reflected on how much I use it, and how good it is. The incorporation of AI (especially the quick answer) takes it far beyond simple search. It's a huge time-saver.👍

A shower of spray and we're away! Not really as I started at SeaTac, but I am at least off the ground in #FS2024. My i7-3770 is struggling. Nothing that a new motherboard and CPU won't fix. 😟💸🇳🇿
