Apple Announces New AirPods Via Press Release
Sure would be neat if there were a single charging pad you could buy to charge your iPhone, AirPods, and even Apple Watch all at once.
There will be John. There will be.
Some quick retail pricing math shows AirPods are $129 for the actual buds.
$199 - $$79 = $129
AirPods with a case continue to be $$159. I wonder if Apple will release Airpods without the case so people can replace lost or damaged Airpods but still use their original case.
TouchID is horrible. I do not understand how my fingerprint can change on my work iPhone but not on my personal Pixel. I am so annoyed at this phone right now.
My take on the Spotify/Apple thing
I have not (but probably should) read the whole complaint.
30% revenue from subscriptions for content you do not host is not how Apple should charge Spotify. It would be different if Apple hosted the music that Spotify streams but they do not.
Restrictions on how to inform people about subscription signups outside of the iOS app is anti competitive and petty on Apple’s part.
It is time for Apple to admit that large and small developers are not the same and that there should be different pricing policies for different apps on the iOS app store.
One size fits all is not a very good way to do buisness and for a company that places so much value on quality it is striking that they are willing to allow the quality of their user experience degrade just so they do not have to change some one size fits all policies.
Time to PDCA My Notebooks
I have hit a stumbling block in my notebook use. I do not want to have reduntant information in my analog and digital notebooks, but the whole reason I want a digital notebook is so that I don’t have to carry the analog notebook all the time and the tasks, to do’s, etc will be there for me to check off.
I have to do some more thinking about what I really want because it is obvious that I don’t really know what I want.
It’s time for some PDCA Plan Do Check Adjust
I should have done that in the first place. But, I just jumped to the Do part and didn’t plan anything leaving days and weeks empty in both notebooks.
One reason I use a RSS reader instead of visiting individual websites I can avoid those newsletter signups that pop up.
I use Newsblur as my reader of choice.
Playing Far Cry 5 and I liberated an Outpost but I’m not even sure how.
I drink entirely too much coffee on an empty stomach every morning.
In fact there’s a bunch of stuff I want to change about my routines, especially morning and nightly.
NASA and Google worked together to put a ton of photos together and analyse them with machine learning to group them. Then they made a really cool webiste out of them.
Marshmallow Club Cracker sandwich SMH at some of the things my girlfriend eats.
SUCCESS ISN’T ABOUT HOW YOUR LIFE LOOKS TO OTHERS; IT’S ABOUT HOW YOUR LIFE FEELS TO YOU.
I try to tell myself this all the time and I still have a hard time not judging myself based on how I see other people.
I have been a procrastinator for so long I am afraid I may not know how not to procrastinate.
1980’s Taylor Swift is perfect.
Does anyone have recommendations for comics?
The genre and/or style isn’t important. U just want to check out new stuff that I may not know about.
It is past time news organizations stop putting, slammed, eviserated, or similar words in their headlines because nothing comes out of it; just a click.
It is hyperbole for hyperbole sake and does nothing to add to the journalistic integrity of the news organization.
Yup @simonwoods has the best advice for life.
Isn’t it ironic?
Only one judge on America’s Got Talent is American.
Had to laugh at this one.
Waiting on the IT guy to hookup and connect a Verizon 4G backup router and he literally said, “Can you hear me now?”
And I just can’t anymore. It’s been a 13 hour shift and I just want to go home now.
I miss physical keyboards on mobile phones.
