I spent one day with a Tesla Model Y (DM+LR) from Hertz in Las Vegas. I leased a Hyundai Ioniq for 2 years and was glad to be rid of it. I can confirm I feel the same way about this Tesla. It checked none of the boxes I expected a Tesla to check that the Hyundai did not. More in a planned blog post …
Saw Beetles Love @ Mirage for the 4th time. A lot of the show has changed since I went 12 years ago. Still a banger. Used my ‘ol hack which is walk up to box office 5 minutes before the show starts and haggle. Front row seats for $49 instead of $180 list. Great time!
Landing in Vegas.
@gene I've watched all of the videos. Growing up in Birmingham Alabama but also having lived in Oakland, Boston and now Charlotte and been to New Orleans and Seattle, it was really cool to see those cities from the train window. It was a lot of time to create all of this but I appreciate you …
Vegas tonight.
I'm an Apollo for iPad user and pay for the highest tier to compensate the developer for their time. I also pay Reddit for their premium service to compensate them for their time and so I don't see any ads. Why can't Reddit just require Apollo only work with users who are paying for …
Hey, everyone keep me honest here. Me in January on Apple's headset, “If the headset ends up being over $2,000, I’ll wait for the 3rd generation. If the headset is $999, I’ll buy the 2nd generation.” https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/01/03/technology-i-wont-buy-the-first-apple-headset/
Lunch.
@marioguzman @geoffoliver This is a very ingrained behavior for me is moving windows around that aren't focus. This and 'screen zoom' are used constantly. I have command + 2 finger up / down to zoom in and out enabled and I use it all of the time to focus in on a text box.
Thursday, we're off to Vegas. Next Thursday, motorcycle rally in Richmond. Week after, pack and get ready for a month up in New Hampshire.
Back in the office after a long weekend. Honestly, I slept...that's it. I slept ALL weekend. I took a 5PM nap on Friday, then slept until 2PM on Saturday, Took a saturday afternoon nap then slept until noon on Sunday. Yesterday, up at 8Am and went to the water park, did a 3 mile walk, went out …
Charlotte has been HOT and RAINY for the last 4 months every single weekend. It's Memorial Day and it's 50 degrees and raining. Shame.
First day motorcycling to work since shoulder surgery. 7 weeks + 1 day from surgery to riding again. Not going to push it but it's great to commute on the bike again.
#OneSentenceMovieReview - Little Mermaid was REALLY good. The lead nailed the notes on many of my favorite songs and it was a strong cast with brain-melting CGI.
PowerPhotos for Mac has archived my full “keep originals" 1.4tb photos for Mac library to both an external SSD + up to my NAS for safe keeping. I am now moving 1.4tb sorted b year JPEGs folder (exported using PowerPhotos) to my NAS for then eventual upload to Amazon Photos. My Lightroom Library …
Photo Backup Project Update since I'm about to close the 2nd full week. Two of SanDisk's 4TB SSDs were DOA or well dead on arrival after accepting my copy of 2.5 terabytes of photos to them. Turns out there's a known issue this week - …
@gene WOOHOOO. Thanks for sharing the updates with all of us. Trip of a lifetime.
Hello from Ivory for MacOS. I think $25 a year for 3 platforms is a fair subscription price. It was $15 for iPad+iPhone.
@geoffoliver hard drives (physical and cloud based) are more fragile than having a physical copy anyway. Having digital content you own edited or pulled without warning is insanity.
Every time a media company makes a decision, it just fuels more people to piracy. Old SNL episodes being cut on Hulu for song-rights or offensive content, Books being pulled from Kindles, Shows disappearing from streaming services and unskippable ads. It’s like media companies (not the artists) …
Not even discounting the technical issues of the new Max App for AppleTV but the overall situation of my annual plan that just renewed losing 4K in 6 months is completely unethical. Will Max allow me to upgrade to 4K (charging me the prorated $50 difference which is $25) in 6 months or just …
Tried launching HBO Max “Something went wrong” Nothing tells me I need to download a new app. Went to HBOMax.com and they have a redirect to max.com which means my 1Password / iCloud Keychain don’t auto-fill. I know why (it’s linked to HBOmax.com domain) but most users don’t. I tried to cancel my …
First time having a shake shack cheeseburger
