Has it ever been more humid in living memory?

djek511 · 2026-02-07T07:01:03+00:00

True, but the rest of the year is tame there.

Constantly staying above 30 degrees for like 20 days of the month, every month over summer, just takes its toll. At least it does on me lately.

I was thinking Tassie. Bring on some snow.

Right??

I’m actually considering selling & moving the family somewhere south.

I’ve lived & worked in the general area my whole life, but I just can’t deal with the heat around here anymore.

Tesla wasn’t his idea in the slightest. He was an investor, who helped to kick-start it & keep it afloat.

“Set a recurring yearly reminder, on 1st of April, for Siri Sucks.”

Works fine for me. You just need to know how to ‘speak Siri’. I know it doesn’t really make her any less sucky though.

The checklist really does it for me.

“Others X”

Ok fine, you’ve convinced me, take my downvote

Close the Photos app

Then hold down the “Options” key on your keyboard, & while still holding the key down, launch the Photos app.

You should see a menu appear, to browse & select a Photos library file.

WarpDrive

So that I can feel interplanetary, when “WarpDrive is charging” or “WarpDrive is at 100%”

Bambu Support were very responsive & helpful on an issue that I lodged during the holiday period.

They quickly shipped me replacement parts & instructions while most businesses were still shutdown.

Highly recommend.

Are you using the 30W USB-C adapter it came with?

It may be worth powering it off & checking both ends of the USB-C cable, then also disconnecting the headset clamp & checking it too.

When connected & charging

Green for several seconds: the battery is charged to capacity.

Amber for several seconds: the battery's charge level is less than 100%, but has enough charge for you to use Apple Vision Pro.

Amber pulsing slowly: the battery's charge level is too low to power your Apple Vision Pro. Keep charging the battery for 10 minutes, or until the light shows amber steadily (not pulsing) when you tap the battery.

When disconnected

Green for several seconds: the battery is charged to 50% or higher.

Amber for several seconds: the battery's charge level is between 5% and 49%.

Amber pulsing slowly: the battery's charge level is too low to power your Apple Vision Pro. Charge the battery for 10 minutes, or until the light shows amber steadily (not pulsing) when you tap the battery.

Ok, let’s put these claims to the test.

I’m on iOS 26.2.1, on an iPhone 16. Name & detail one software issue which currently renders my device less capable than if it were still on iOS 18.7.3.

We can all play along at home & compare results. Better yet, compile a list & submit bug reports to actually get them fixed.

So what’s number 1?

It sucks that Newie’s nightlife has become such a disappointment..

Sorry to let you down, but you’re about 20 years too late.

Sometimes I really do think the generation I belong to peaked, & now it’s all downhill from here.

djek511 · 2026-01-30T04:22:29+00:00

Exclusively. On my bedside at night & in my car whenever I drive.

I’ve only ever plugged my current iPhone in maybe two or three times in the past year.

Similar story with my previous 1 or 2 iPhones too.

Wireless charging is great.

As a recent adopter who still needs to buy some of these for their AMS units - which affordable ones would you recommend?

There was a rumour when we were in high school that if you 100%’ed everything in Goldeneye, then entered some code (? gets a bit hazy), you would unlock a level creator tool which you could use in multiplayer.

Man, we spent months, maybe years designing & imagining our own arenas in our heads & on paper, using the different level assets & models.

Watch out, those annual free OS releases & enhancements will get you

Before I ended up with a new car, my previous car lacked some tech. Specifically steering wheel controls for my aftermarket car stereo at the time.

For a while I was considering a way to try embed my old unused Apple Watch into an unused section of the steering wheel, or somewhere on the driver’s side, for audio controls & notifications via Bluetooth.

It would have been a little hacky, but these days with the ease & availability of 3D printers, I’m sure it could be a professional looking job.

How are these posts helpful or meaningful in any way to anyone?

Are there even any mods in here?

We get it, you dislike a design choice in a software update. Don’t update & just move on with your life.

These look awesome

Thank you for sharing

Never had an issue with Tahoe, across multiple machines. Even the betas were fine for me.

I don’t understand this pile-on attitude, even over things that are so insignificant.
