@photomatt let me know if you need to backfill strategy/ops roles. I’m rooting for you. We had a great chat 15 years ago at Chaat Cafe and at a word camp. Keep fighting for open source.
It's quiet today.
Quite possibly worst Apple experience ever over the weekend. Just going to make it a blog post but I feel like Retail really needs to stop trying to be a luxury store and just do the job of selling things, educating customers and servicing devices. It's a store, not an experience.
Not bad, just my garage is flooded and everything in there is elevated so could be way worse.
DPReview.com without ad blockers has some serious issues. This is the web-view in Reader.app on MacOS. I'm trying to read a camera review and it kept getting slower and slower and more jittery.
FRIDAY!
Passed my exam. Next up PMI-PBA then PMI-PMO-CC.
Last hour of studying before my exam. I’ve taken a lot of these in the last 12 months but i still get nerves every time.
Just a couple of more years.
@chartier ..but my data comes from 8 years ago so maybe that’s changed?
@chartier Yup! Apple Stores will exchange just the band. I don’t know about price adjustments but I have exchanged a band that didn’t fit me for anther color / size they had in stock.
@gruber You probably experienced this first-hand with Vesper but it’s also a very tough experience for Marques for his career so far to be criticisms of technology products and to now be on the other side of the fence. It’s humbling to put something out there and experience that feedback loop on …
Two excellent blog posts published within minutes of each other today. I love deeper dives and insights from authors like this @BasicAppleGuy / @louie https://lmnt.me/blog/reality-distortion.html https://basicappleguy.com/basicappleblog/on-wallpapers
Someone on Reddit asked me to post a photo of Ultra 2 in Black + Tan Alpine Loop w/ black hardware. I’m a fan. 2024 Alpine is stretchier than 2022 Alpine. And I think Tan is better than last year’s Olive color.
Bands I’ve sold, every flat color sport band except black and my silver and black Milanese loops.
Added the Nike volt sport band and tan alpine loop as well as titanium Milanese to the collection.
Eight days without Apple Watch. I really missed it. Ultra 2 in Black is the only DLC watch available and I feel "home" being back in DLC mode after taking 2 years off. Ultra Milanese loop is fantastic and definitely worth the $100 premium over Apple's stainless steel / magnetic …
@sdw that’s the band I ordered. Saw green and blue in store. Tan is a good look.
It appears beta5 of 18.1 does fix my iPhone 16 camera issues. It was making the camera unusable for the first 3 days of ownership
I'm hoping iOS 18.1 Developer Beta 5 solves my issues only on iPhone 16 where the camera app crashes constantly. 3rd part photo apps work fine but opening the camera and clicking the shutter (screen shutter / camera capture shutter) leads to a crash and the image is not saved to the camera roll. …
I think this is going to be the homescreen for a while.
Yum!
Chicken & Biscuits for breakfast.
Since iOS 17 (iPad/iPhone), search in mail has been utter shite. I have it set to download all mail this is my iPad that’s been setup since August and is running iOS 18.1 but the issue is not new. The only reason I keep Outlook on my iPhone and iPad is to search my Inbox. It sucks running 2 mail …
@sdw Which style is that? Amber? Band is olive Alpine?
