This another case of, “Can we get away with it?”

Beginning with new accounts in New Zeland and Philippines is a random spot.

There’s been a lull in X news lately. Need to kick up some “look at me” dust.

“Not a Bot” Subscription

Apple just released the release candidate for iOS 17.1 if you’re into that sorta thing.

Turn on dev automatic updates. Update. Turn back off to stay out of the next beta loop.

Welp, that’s it folks. Time to go back. Turn the ship around!

X’s new plan to lure subscribers? Partnering with Paris Hilton on a custom icon

Wait AT&T which is it? 4K is now 1080P?

Someone at Apple really needs to sit down with Facebook/Instagram/Meta to discuss how to handle when music is playing.

No one wants it to just stop because the app opens. No one. At all.

Nobody.

Don’t forget iOS does a great job selecting text from images. Does a great job for #alttext on images.

And what exactly did all those pipes plumb?

Do you think anyone ever made it out of the Windows Maze screensaver?

🤔

Yikes!

Well oiled machine over there, eh?

It’s not clear X CEO Linda Yaccarino knew about Elon Musk’s plan to charge for X

Make it stop. Please?

(AT&T buying Warner Brothers was pure greed on display.)

Two new, cool tiny details added to #Mona today.

Haptic Feedback (iOS 16/iPhone only) and Bouncy Icons (iOS 17/iPadOS 17/macOS Sonoma) for the tab Bar.

iOS 17 still fails to let me put a double wide lock screen widget in the middle.

Why not?!

What is the actual reason?

It makes no sense!

Vernissage for #PixelFed

Now supports browsing for iPad.

I will admit to you brothers and sisters:

I am having a bit of iPhone FOMO today. 📱

If you are a #Mona user check out this account for new themes!

ChaMona Themes

This thread are some great ones. Currently, I am using Fiery for light/dark combo.

Did the #Facebook iOS app change to a darker blue today?

Interesting to see ads(?) for #Threads in my Instagram timeline.

If you are on an iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max on #iOS17, you may want to check out HEIF Max. Allows the main camera to capture 48MP photos with smaller file sizes than ProRAW Max. Certainly going to see how it works out for myself.

Find it here: Settings > Camera > Formats > Photo Capture > Pro Default > HEIF Max

One final update - HomePods

It’s finally back! #iOS17 you can set a max volume level for headphones.

Missed this for the little one. Had to just buy a set for her thT had a limit before.

Exclusive watch faces on the #AppleWatch has always ticked me off.

Is the Modular Ultra watch face going to be that way?

Update: It’s not! h/t to @maique@social.lol

We made it to #iOS17. Way to go team!

This is the first iPhone presentation I have not watched.

Crazy how times change.

Speigen showing off new cases already with the action button for #iPhone 15 on Threads.

Guess embargos are a thing of the past.

BMW Is Giving Up on Heated Seat Subscriptions Because People Hated Them

File this under I told you this was to gauge outrage to see how far it can be pushed.

I wonder what the story is behind my old #Twitter account is.

Someone squatting on it? Used as a bot? Reactivated by Twitter because of old click throughs? 🤔

Are they at least able to cancel their reservation.

Yesh!

#Cybertruck is entirely vaporware.

I took the time to fully dig in and adjust everything I can to my liking in #Mona.

Even signed up for the free DeepL translate. Because why not.

It probably is the best #Mastodon app for iOS with taking the time to perfect it to your linking. Admittedly I think before I was overwhelmed by it all.

Mona for iOS

Teams and Outlook off for the weekend. I refuse to randomly peek.

If you want to listen to #Phish at Dicks this weekend. Sirius is having a promo with 3 months for $1.

I am sure signup involved a credit card and chatting in to cancel after.

Though don’t want ya to miss out if you don’t have to.
