Not any better. In fact it seems worse. I'll still replace Apple TV even though it was not part of these events. After that the network switch may need to be tested and/or replaced. Thankfully, I bought a spare switch and router last year. There goes my weekend! 😵💫

Wow! This is insane. My phone slipped out of my hand and bumped up against the display of my Dell XPS laptop and now the screen is toast. I'll take it to the repair shop as doubtful this is a warranty item.

Don't be fooled by the president's proposed 10% credit card interest cap; it'll be disastrous for anyone without excellent credit.
This is another way to enrich his cronies who want struggling consumers to take out expensive personal loans.

Here we go again. This time the living room Apple TV flooded my system with 26 attempts to access 192.168.0.101 and was blocked a VLAN to VLAN firewall rule. There was at least one WAN1 drop with cellular failover right after. 😵💫
I don't use 192.168.x.x for my network, but this might be my modem.

Enjoying a delicious, sweet/tangy and juicy California navel orange. This definitely could replace my candy habit.

It might be trivial, but for now I've forced the Weight Watchers app to revert back to the old logo. My phone's custom launcher gives me that level of customization. #Android #NovaLauncher

I just noticed how much hair was on my upper thigh. This is all due to the testosterone therapy I'm on. I didn't have this much hair 6 months ago; however, I did before my low-T levels developed.

Just ordered this cookbook. Let's see how much I can improve my food intake. Thankfully I like many of the food items found in the Mediterranean diet.

This is getting creepy. I don't like it that company AI is spying on in everything we do.

@stevescotland.bsky.social it's like the iPad is bricked. Restore fails regardless of whether connected to my iMac or DELL laptop. Should I take it to an Apple Genius? I am going to see if connecting to Mom's newer iMac makes a difference.

And yet they haven't updated the app icon. Yesterday the system was slow to inoperable midday so I wonder if they're tinkering. The design team is "MrsAndMr.com" out of NYC. What a creative name, LOL. A high school art student could've come up with this boring design.

This photo of my home network seems so old now. I've added more hardware and now it's time to move everything to a larger rack.

Still a head scratcher! Apple TV in bedroom has no issues, while Apple TV in living room is showing critical issues related to spanning tree protocol (STP) port/state flapping, network loops and storm control. Any changes I've made to the network so far has NOT made a difference.

Well this isn't going to work. Not sure why my T-Mobile backup internet is offline. That's the opposite of what it's intended for.

Proof that 5G can be awesome, but everything depends heavily on location.

But.... I might be making some progress. After clearing Wi-Fi and setting DNS to 1.1.1.1 (CloudFlare), the AI Anomaly score is back down to "0" from its persistent high of "70".

After reading this I decided to end the Alexa+ Early Access. All devices and the phone app went back to its previous more useful state. As one Reddit user called it, Alexa+ E/A is not a Beta but more like an Alpha++ or Beta-. I wholeheartedly agree. Do better Amazon!

Hey #WW do you really think this is a great rebrand of the iconic WW logo? Maybe someone needs new glasses. #ChangeItBack

I buy a lot of things. Mylatest purchase of a foldable/portable X-style computer STAND arrived and I have to say it is wonderful. It's just what I needed to elevate my laptop off my desk while retaining its functionality. I might get a second one for work.

Some discussion online that this was intentional, but it's still hella ugly. Maybe if they put the W's in portrait with the line between them, at least for the app icon it wouldn't look so bad.
