Despite having this all turned on, the Apple Sports app never automatically starts live activities for my teams.

Gah, was lookingh forward to watching season 3 of Tehran but it’s only released in Israel today and no date for Apple TV+ has been announced.

The first email Apple Intelligence deemed as a priority for me is a phishing email pretending to be from a delivery company who failed to deliver a package I haven’t ordered. Good start Apple.

Giving the tyres a kick on the new Craft. I always liked the first version of the app but it got to business focused and I stopped using it. This new version seems more like the original version, and I like the tasks view.

Best Christmas advert so far. Very wholesome. Well done Apple.

I think I’ve got something in my eye…

Found an old backup hard drive at the weekend with my old iTunes library on it. Copied everything to my NAS and I’m slowly adding things to Plex. Revisiting my favourite Delirious? album this morning as a result.

This is fun from the new Overcast update. Surprised about Appstories being in the top 4.

Considering an early upgrade of my AirPods to version 4 with ANC. Using them at work is useful but annoying when people are chatty chatty around you whilst on a call.

Todoist is introducing deadlines to tasks, this has always been a point of friction for me with their due date implementation. When I’m working on something isn’t necessarily when it’s due. It feels like they’re really upping their game lately.

I’ve recently discovered that the artists behind one of my favourite tracks of all time are still making music. They’ve just released a new album which I’m really enjoying.

Woke up to some unexpected snow this morning. Sadly it’s already melting 🫠 ⛄️

At work we’re doing a team visibility piece to help others in the business get to know us. We’ve been asked to answer some questions and I thought it would be fun to share them here…

Favourite movie: It would be a three way fight between The Usu... https://philbowell.me/2024/11/12/at-work-were.html

I’ve been using Reminders for my tasks since the new macOS came out, it’s just to difficult to get stuff in and so I’ve noticed I’ve not been using it. Time to return to a different tool.

Seriously fed up of seemingly intelligent people stating that anyone who doesn’t lean left politically is a Nazi. Here’s news for you, the Nazi’s were leftist and socialist.

Some thoughts on politics, a topic I don't normally touch with a barge pole: https://philbowell.me/2024/11/05/some-thoughts-on.html

That should help me stay sane for the next few days…

The past two seasons were fights against relegation… the current standings… I was 10 the last time we were in third in the Premier League! ⚽️
