@GrahamDowns I thoroughly enjoyed it! Still has the Dexter magic, imo. I really like them all!

In what I would say is the watch order:
Dexter (original)
Dexter: New Blood
Dexter: Resurrection

And then anytime you want (but preferably after seeing OG Dexter):
Dexter: Original Sin (prequel) — […]

@GrahamDowns @kimvanwyk Brits love to take swipes at Muricans' "English", but they are potentially even worse offenders *with their own language*. Cockney Rhyming Slang, East London, Manchester, Birmingham, the near-impossible-to-comprehend English in Yorkshire (and other Northern England […]

@kimvanwyk @GrahamDowns Or this transplanted Boertjie who lives in Texas of all places. With a (South African) English Dad (but British English grandparents), and an Afrikaans Mom. Who grew up completely bilingual, but schooled (upto & incl uni) in Afrikaans (Tukkies!!!). Who then moved to […]

@uastronomer That's because customer service agents are now fully aware that when you finally reach them, you have already traversed a dozen-deep phone tree (probably 2 or 3 times as initial attempts led nowhere), you've probably been cut off a couple of times after waiting 20 mins, the system […]

@junglegeorge I was just explaining this to my kiddos the other week — much to their disapproval of the ambiguity! 😂

@uastronomer It’s not (behind a sign-up). Unless they treat non-SA IPs differently?

(It was just the Daily Maverick normal behavior of “you need an account”, simply do a page reload, and boom it loads. )

@atpfm Given your conversation (on the most recent ep 659) about being spotted in ATP merch, I had my 1st such experience recently, too. On iPhone release weekend this year. The (very crowded) Apple Store employee collected me and another person from the line and took us to a desk to help us […]

@atpfm member specials are soooo worth it.

For the surprise rage factor, if nothing else.

E.g. I expected to be VERY angry at their pizza toppings rankings, but wasn’t (at all) and did NOT expect to be so triggered by their vacation opinions. 😂😂

It’s that unpredictability that makes it so […]

I've been seeing a subtle, but noticeable, change in the "AI bubble/crash" talk here on the 'Don. Seems a growing number of folks are starting to accept that the "AI bubble popping" won't result in the end of AI/LLMs. Or even in a meaningful reduction in the integration & use of AI/LLMs into […]

@BigG This past weekend,a girl on my 13yo daughters' soccer team asked one of my girls if she was a Christian. My kid said no. The other girl then sarcastically said "Oh are you a Jew" and proceeded to show the Nazi salute. I mean, WTF?!?!

It'll take very long for the US to rid ourselves of the […]

When none of the Ultra watch face complications give you *exactly* what you want, it simply has to be @_Davidsmith's Watchsmith to the rescue! Use 2 complication spots, each containing their own Watchsmith complication, and get the date exactly how you want it!
Black Apple Watch Ultra 3, showing Watchsmith being used for 2 of the complications, one showing just the weekday name and the one next to it the day of the month.

@GrahamDowns Errr. We have a new, massive state of the art library. It is by NO means quiet. Has a giant open mezzanine level where the teenage area is, and it is always full of several dozen teens studying but also chatting. Little meeting tables everywhere. Where people are talking. There are […]

@danie10 Perhaps that's a small "benefit" to running either Docker or PodMan on a Mac: it has to create a Linux VM inside of which it can run the containers. So it doesn't matter that they rootful, they can only ever "compromise" the VM, not the host Mac.
(if I understand it correctly, I'm a […]

#jimmykimmel was really, really good tonight. Raw emotion and a brutally honest conversation about where we find ourselves as a nation. Bravo to him, his writers, and his entire staff.

@uastronomer I think you nailed it this time. Perhaps that’s actually my biggest bugbear with the “coming AI bust” crowd (in general) — thanks for helping me solidify my own criticism. They seem to gleefully think it’ll be the end of AI. Like NFTs.

Folks, AI is NEVER going away. Every large […]

@malmorrow Have you tried Airpods Pros? I’ve read *very* positive reviews of their hearing aid features from actual hearing-impaired folks. If you haven’t, can’t hurt to try?

@GrahamDowns Calendars or Google. On our phones. That are always with us. We don't NEED to remember such minutiae anymore. I can't tell you the dates of most holidays here. I see them in my calendar in the days leading up to them, or in Google when I go looking for them in order to plan […]

Channeling my inner @caseyliss, I’m going caseless with my 17 Pro for the first time ever. Casey, I’m gonna admit, it feels weird AF, and I’m nervous AF each time I handle it. 🫠🫣
