Short-Form

i am surprised that iPhone 16 Pro doesn't have an improved Spatial Video resolution. I was really hoping they'd increase it from 1080P to 4K. …

I like how Apple has redesigned iOS 18's iCloud Storage pane.

I have removed the USB-C to Lightning in my truck that was installed behind the the radio and trim and replaced it with the gorgeous Apple Black Braided USB-C / USB-C cable that came with my iPad Pro. Ready for the iPhone 16 to arrive.

@gruber - I thoroughly enjoyed your piece but of the commentators' opinions I've read the last week on 2024 Apple, everyone has forgotten Apple Vision Pro exists. Maybe it's just too early to tell but while I'm not ready to buy one myself, that is visionary and probably doesn't …

Dropped my iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB off at FedEx this morning. It sold so insanely fast and I'm a good person so I shipped it within 1 business day of sale. Sale price $1050 for a phone I paid $1599 for 2 years ago. Pretty good. Yes, this does mean that I do not have a phone to use until Friday. I …

Studying.

Request though. I’d love the option in monochrome to still have colored red badges for notification bubbles.

I last reset cellular data usage on July 1st. This seems excessive for 2 months. I’m surprised Verizon hasn’t sent me a letter.

Request for 1Password and Apple Passwords. If a site’s URL no longer resolves, recommend I archive that password. I have 800 compromised passwords. Okay yeah, I know but Dmoz.org and Geocities.com no longer resolves so like…do I need to click through and change my password?

Monochrome is sweet.

Priorities change. But I’d say that spending $250 seems cheap now in just total effort. Like I had a guy in Copenhagen line up for me and spend €60 and mail me the bottles and I sent him $100 in beer. Very stressful. Nice to know there are online sellers …

No context other than the effort I put to get these bottles in 2015 was insane. Opening them 9 years later was a nice treat.

@ybrammer WHOA! That's a lot of traveling. I'm just hopping on the dirt bike and showing up 5 minutes late :P

@ybrammer ...and you can't beat the coach shouting Ef-Bombs at the ref all night.

@ybrammer This has been my view all season.

@ybrammer I've been to a few Charlotte FC Matches, no denying the stadium energy and pace is awesome but going to a season front & center just 10 feet from the coaches for $200 has been fantastic.

I've really enjoyed being a season ticket holder for the Charlotte Independence Football Club. They're 2nd in the league, I've been to 12 games (season tickets were $200) and tonight, there were actual fist fights...it was craziness! Two more matches left in the season.

@jtylko Hello good sir! M1 Max MacBook Pro on Sequoia 15.1 Beta (24B5035e). There are some niceties in the sidebar (like receipts / handwriting) but not the new user interface I have on my iPad (M4 18.1) / iPhone (18.0).

Wait so another year of improvements coming to photos for my cellular phone and none of these improvements are on the computer I edit, proof and organize the photos? Thanks Apple. So this $4,500 laptop is just not serious enough for photo libraries? I'm pretty sick of iPhone getting all of the …

This seriously is the coolest looking vehicle I can actually afford. I hate that after 4 years with a deposit down and dealing with crappy range how much I love this truck. Worst truck than mine in every way.

But good news is, my 2 year old iPhone sold for $1050. Not bad. If my ultra sells for $600, then that’d be amazing.

Interesting. I listed my iPhone for sale on Swappa for the highest price of any other listing thinking it’d take longer. It sold within 24 hours. I guess I’m without a phone next week.

Drove a Cybertruck today. Nicer than I expected but it'd be a stretch to use it like I do my diesel. I don't think I can fit two motorcycles in the back. That's for sure.

Despite having Verizon & Apple's pages ready on the "checkout" button, I was able to use BestBuy to purchase an iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB. BestBuy continues to earn all of my Apple business (except Macs since they don't carry CTO models) because of the free AppleCare. I give …

Relevant, I installed two 22 terabyte hard drives in my Synology NAS over the weekend. These replace two 14 terabyte drives that were not EOL or had issues but I was nearly out of space. Over the next 12 months, I'll probably switch from 14TB to 22TB on all 8 drives then the 14TB drives I have …
