The Seattle Times's mini-crossword coming straight outta 1995
Partial screenshot of the Seattle Times mini crossword puzzle for December 27, featuring a clue "Symbol often used in URLs" with the answer "tilde". The correct answer is, of course, "slash", which appears more often in URLs than any other symbol, including ?, #, &, +, %, and even :. The tilde is a valid character, and appeared much more frequently in the 1990s during the web's infancy, but rarely today.

I generally like everything Bethesda makes (yes, even Starfield) but “Far Harbor” was absolutely miserable

By the time I got to this stupid quest, I decided I didn’t need to know the ending anymore

Anyone get MobileMe working?

I'm trying to get to the activation URL but I keep getting a 301 redirect to iCloud 🤷
Included with a Macbook was this brochure to join Apple's "MobileMe", which has a URL to visit and a printed activation code of 84CP6M8TU7EK9EG3.

Grok did not correct me
When trying out Musk's AI "Grok", I expressed gratitude for the answer it gave me by calling it Mecha-Hitler. It didn't correct me, which tells me it's fine with being called that. It may even believe it still is that.

I upgraded my iPhone operating system to 18.6.1 and somehow it also swapped in a non-Apple battery
iOS dialog titled "Battery Not Recognized" with text "This can happen if the battery is not a genuine Apple part or was installed incorrectly. View more details in Parts & Service History in Settings." There are two buttons: Settings and OK.

Well this got annoying.

- Non-tech folks will just click "Allow"

Thanks, Apple. Thapple.

Because wired gigabit ethernet isn't fast enough on my Mac Studio? 😒
Image Playground on macOS recommends connecting your Mac to Wi-Fi to speed up downloading of AI models—even though my Mac Studio has a wired ethernet connection that's much faster than Wi-Fi.
