Never been more upset with Apple then when they removed max volume from parental controls.

Interesting Weather update today. Never seen this one before.

Why Apple and the Carriers Want Your Old iPhone

Why Apple and the Carriers Want Your Old iPhone A fun little read about what happens when your device is traded in at the carrier. TL:DR They’re resold. Which my days in carrier world we never had an official documentation on where they went. But we knew…we knew.

My Mastodon time line is two things right now: #Goose and #Meta

This is going to end well. 🤦

Replayed Kirby’s Dream Land on Switch Game Boy, and after all these years these two faces still stick with me. 🎮 🕹️

If I didn’t have one already, I would be all over making my own custom colors.

iOS 16.4: iMessage now supports rich content previews for Mastodon posts

Hard to ignore #Mastodon’s impact now.

Just to let you know if I ever die it was due to drowning in a sea of cables.

Yes, Elon Musk created a special system for showing you all his tweets first

Free speech “absolutist” makes his priority over everyone else after being less popular than a “senile old man” 🙄

Rep. George Santos was charged with theft in since-dismissed 2017 dog breeder case

But Bogosian provided CNBC with a screenshot showing a November 2017 charge in Santos’ name of “THEFT BY DECEP-FALSE IMPRESSION.”

The 14 Rarest Classic Gameboy Games (& How Much They’re Worth)

Woah! Apparently, I had the third rarest GBA game according to this list. Mega Man 5 was a nice departure from the others. New abilities. Unique planet bosses.

Does this make #Google + and it’s content officially dead dead?

Ordered an updated car chargers for the upcoming trip. This was in the back, and I don’t know why it makes me laugh.

Elon Musk’s Twitter ordered by officials to properly label bedrooms in San Francisco HQ as sleeping areas — or convert them back to offices within 15 days

Who’s will strike first in the war against Twitter?

What are Netflix limits?

It was not just in your head. Another reason to leave big social. Meta (Instagram/Facebook) are the last two I have left mainly for close family updates. I need a creative way to leave but still provide information to them.

Mystery solved! They match the Twitter follower counts.

The Carolina Hurricanes have 553k?

Miami Heat have five million Mastodon followers?

Spoofed?

Thank you Mastodon for the content warning tonight. #LastofUs

This really is the best IceCubes app icons so far.
