iOS 17.3 Stolen Device Protection must be manually enabled by visiting “Face ID & Passcode" under settings and it's just a slider that enables it. Now, when I go to change my password, a pop up appears with a new experience than just asking me to enter and verity the new password for my …

When you restart into iOS 17.3 (Public and Developer Beta for release candidate), there is no prompt informing you of enhanced security so I guess it falls on us nerds to inform family of what it is and why. Seems too important to not mention it after restart.

Still withholding judgement until I use it but Vision Pro being M2 powered, lack WiFi 6E, have a small sample of "demo scenes" that are immersive, a non-usable keyboard and a strap system that is either too heavy, hard to seal or pinches your hair and only gets 2 hours battery isn't …

Busy weekend: Hiked 6 miles Ran 2 miles (twice) tore down my big bike for a suspension upgrade Did annual maintenance on another motorcycle 50K mile service on my Diesel RAM Organized the garage Deep Cleaned 3 rooms in the house Drove family to the airport Hosted a friend at the house for a day …

Oh hey it's Friday.

How in the heck did I overfill my oil this oil change? Sigh. I need a lift.

I received my Tesla Cybertruck Order Email. I love how the truck looks but the functionality and specs have me cancelling. However, going through the process, I just feel so grifted by this company and I haven't even bought the truck yet. Everything has an asterisk or is a flat out lie. They …

A is for Apple in Garamond font. Purchased at Apple Visitor Center 2 years ago.

Weight loss has stalled. Been strictly in the 236 pound camp for a month. Going to cut out all alcohol again in hopes that jump starts things.

Crappy iPhone photo but I am so thrilled to share a photo of @jesseluggage’s new Pro Boxes that are DIRECT FIT to the #R1250GS Adventure racks. You go buy a #R1250GSA or #R1200GSA and you can put these right on your bike. More better photos coming soon but these are SOOO beautiful. They make my …

I have a blog post written but not posted yet about guns. I really don’t know where I can talk about this hobby without being branded a certain way politically. I would like to occasionally share milestones in hopes people here are okay with it. What I don’t want is to foster a follower group of gun …

First competitive match. 50 and 75 feet. Pistol. The G34 is a full size and the G26 is a subcompact. It’s a bit harder to control. Been practicing for weeks. Going to do at least one competition a month.

@Rycaut I have 1 unread email. I guess we use email differently. I unsubscribe from everything not directly adddressed to me and have never subscribed to a newsletter. That’s what RSS is for.

Despite what i said in my blog, I think I'm still going to pre-order an  Vision Pro and experience it but will utilize Apple's return policy if it really feels 1.0. I felt like a beta tester with the first Apple Watch and iPad and similarly MacOS 10.0 / 10.1 and I expect it'll be …

Apple Vision Pro will be available starting at $3,499 (U.S.) with 256GB of storage. ---- "Starting at” means there will probably be a 512GB version at $3799 w/ $149 for lenses or just under $4,000 before tax. Pricey. If you choose 0% Card financing, that'll be 12 months at $325 a month.

"ZEISS Optical Inserts — Readers will be available for $99 (U.S.), and ZEISS Optical Inserts — Prescription will be available for $149 (U.S.).” Much cheaper than I thought for  Vision Pro. Looks like you'll need reader optics even if you have otherwise perfect vision (i.e. over age of 40 …

Annual oil change done. Time to do final drive and brake fluid next #R1200GSA @motulusa

Back to OEM #R1200GSA racks. New project. No more @jesseluggage racks. Cant wait to show off the next cool stuff.

I think everyone in Charlotte is out right now. Impossible to get anywhere. I just wanted a cup of coffee and an oil filter.

@lakelady yep like a folio case. I love those.

@lakelady :( and this would be your case.

I can’t honestly say in just a few words how much I really want a physical keyboard for iPhone. What an exciting product.

Want - https://9to5mac.com/2024/01/04/clicks-iphone-physical-keyboard/ I've been an iPhone user since 2007 so 17 years and in those 17 years, I still cannot type as fast as I did on my Blackberry/Treo/Blackjack/RAZR. I really STILL miss physical buttons and detest software keyboards so much that …

29 degrees this morning but still rode my dirt bike to work. Great to be back on the bike after taking 2 weeks off. Just had to put on an extra layer of gear.

Why is everyone sick?
