Literally just got an email about connecting GitHub to the iOS app and now it’s down. Spike in traffic perhaps?

And yet we’re about to face an eye watering increase in bills due to the way we’re charged for energy.

There appears to be a dark pattern occurring where the Tahoe update is selected by default and you need to uncheck it to just install the security update.

Maybe this is less of an issue now we’re in the digital era of console games but one of the biggest aspects for me is that if I buy one of these new machines, my existing library is just there. No starting from scratch or worrying about backwards compatibility. It’s a PC that has everything I need from the get go.

The story was the same with the Deck. Granted it took a little while for many games to be fully supported but the transparency from Valve on the store pages about compatibility was great and is in a far better state now.

Except those OSs would work on any machine. They’d be slow in some cases but would still work. Windows 11 has requirements that either require BIOS tweaks or a whole new MB (or new machine).

If I choose not to use a service that costs a fee (such as Netflix), I am not hounded for not paying it. If I chose not to pay a tax, I am hounded with threats of prosecution and fines.

The license “fee” falls into the latter category.

Absolutely this. I’ve only had a single Home Screen since Apple added the App Library. I’ve always had Apollo in the same position. I swapped it out with my grocery app. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve opened that grocery app without thinking.

The irony, it’s now in the public domain but I can only access the bottom of the post if I have a Substack account.

With the cost of living crisis, this isn't going to help anyone. How does taking more money away from those with un-environmentally friendly cars help them afford to replace them?

What does this money go towards in terms of offsetting the environmental damage done by these cars? How would people feel if the money paid into these schemes went towards money off newer, more environmentally friendly cars?

I believe there was a government scheme for this, but I think it ended earlier this year.

Letting myself get burned-out to the point of considering the s word. Every time I just thought “things will get better, it’s probably just me”.

I’ve since switched jobs after a break but I still struggle with focus and attention span. Hoping that improves over time.

Tell that to my 2019 HRV. Doesn’t even have CarPlay so I can’t use Siri to do anything for me. All AC controls are touch screen so I have to look away from the road just to change the fan speed.
