When all the green lines up.

It’s official. There is nothing going on in the news today. Third ad from Apple News.

And again! News. Not ads please.

Apple I would like News alerts. Not ads!

Review: Samsung Galaxy A14 5G

This is easily the best phone you can buy for $200. - Wired

When compared to a typical $200 tier phone, it is nice to see tech costs have fallen. The entry level devices once were a frustrating experience.

I wish the red night time filter for the Wayfinder would be great to apply across the entire Apple Watch Ultra.

If it only on for the watch face would it not cause a disaster in a photo darkroom situation? Blind for night star watching? (The real answer is use theatre mode.)

TIL you can adjust the tile height in the Home app

🤯

I had no clue this was possible.

If you have questions about home humidity after iOS 16.3 was released for the HomePod today, like I did, here is what Bob Vila has to say about it.

Now what I would really like is an Mastodon client for my Apple Watch. While Mast has one it has not been updated in two years and did not work last I tried.

The translate feature on @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud for #Mastodon is great! 📱

Really gives more life to the federated feed.

iOS and iPadOS 16.3 are out!

WatchOS 9.3 is out too!

I am really excited for the unlocked humidity sensor in the HomePod mini!

Yay! Ice Cubes 🧊 just added system match themes!

Am I to late for #screenshotsaturday? Or to early for next weeks!

How interesting is it that the web version of #Twitter shows a banner to get their app after today’s news?

Twitter Bans Third Party Devs

Twitter Bans Third Party Apps - Engadget The “restrictions” section of Twitter’s developer agreement was updated Thursday with a clause banning “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.” The addition is the only substantive change to the 5,000-word agreement. Welp, it’s official. Hopefully, this is the nail in the coffin for quiet a bit to jump over to Mastodon.

Apple unveils new full-size HomePod - 9to5Mac

This makes me happy. They should not have discontinued it in the first place.

Sunday Funday!

What did your weekend hold?

I’ll tell you what I’m tired of spending money on cars and other broken items lately.

Really thought the killing of third-party API would have lead to a large push. Unless those savy to use them already made the jump before.

I know I did one of these yesterday, but changes were made.

I have never used Notion before. I think I can use this as a fun little tool for writing and keeping track of reviews.

Does anyone’s Apple Watch Ultra charge above 80% on its own?

Optimized charging daily has it always stopping short. No issues. I appreciate making it last longer. I am just not used to that from all past Apple Watches. ⌚️ 📱

The worst (sarcastic best?) about the killing off of Twitter API is no one knows if it’s policy or just broken… 🤷

Unorganized chaos in the nest.

I hope this closure of third party API on Twitter is the final straw for many. This is the next scandal that will bolster Mastodon’s new sign ups.
