Another thought on this Celsius versus Fahrenheit for weather: the Fahrenheit scale from 0F to 100F is human habitable. In Celsius freezing to boiling is 0C to 100C, meaning. the same range for human habitation is 0C to 40C. 100 point scale for human habitability makes more sense. 40 doesn't.

Don't worry, I still have the blog. I will write when I have something to say. Last thing I want to do is have this thing turn into some kind of daily chore. I think it just means we finally hit a slight slowdown post WWDC.

Confused about Elon Musk's business dealings? Try replacing every word with Nazi, then you'll figure it out. After acquiring Twitter, Nazi named the platform Nazi, created NaziAI, then sold them to SpaceNazi. Now the conglomerate is SpaceNaziAI. Separate they were shit, together they're even worse

idk if people are reacting poorly to this or not, but it makes total sense. You'd only get this feature if you were paying for the unlimited HomeKit Secure Video cameras. Not sure why it would be controversial.

I'm certain Agatha would have won here.

It's my birthday so no killing me in Marathon. I don't make the rules.

Some thoughts on the death of physical media for the newsletter this week.

CloverWorks Goes Full Green Yuri With First Trailer for 'The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All' Anime

Some thoughts on the death of physical media for the newsletter this week.

Based on the reactions I've seen so far, this might come across as controversial, but I haven't purchased a piece of physical media since 2014. My PS3 has a couple dozen disc games, but a vast majority are digital. All my PS4 games are on a single external HDD. PS5 all downloaded local.

Shout out to the Pokémon series Moms that gets to kick their kid out at 11 years old to sip wine and sleep with the local professor, judgment-free.

of course the blade game is on the chopping block. you know why.

Trans rights are human rights

Love to my trans friends now and always. We have to be with you and help you fight.

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

I have hundreds of hours in Minecraft survival mode and have never once been to the Nether. I just like gathering materials under the threat of enemies and constructing things under that pressure.

Just wanted to note Apple Music has said similar things about AI music, has an internal label, and says AI sees very little listens in the service (versus breaking charts in Spotify.) Apple Music also has Hi-Res Lossless ALAC files with Dolby Atmos, works with musicians, bans rip offs, spam. applei

I might be taking the week off the blog unless something significant happens that I'd like to write about. It's my birthday Sunday, and I'll be taking off the second half of the week from work. Might at least do the newsletter Friday. Let's play it all by ear.

I don't want to jinx it, but I may have finally figured out how to get consistently good runs in Marathon. Wildly good game where you're on the edge of your seat at each successful exfil.

It's been a bleak week, so here's a bleak newsletter. Don't worry, the cats are there at the end to help.

On-Together is 6.99 during the Steam Sale right now so you could get it and get all of your work and chores done with your pals via the power of B O D Y D O U B L I N G store.steampowered.com/app/3707400/...

Apple's price increases were expected, but damn do they hurt. I hope no one needs a new product in the next two years.

Redwall is $2 right now on Apple Books. Just saying.

Testing Siri AI: Tell me about the musician Logic, okay, my favorite album is The Incredible True Story tell me about it, who was the voice actor in the skits? Did he appear in any other albums? Siri mentions there's a book for Ultra 85, I asked, it linked me. It's read by Steve Blum. Wow, neat.

I love being trans despite everything the world throws at us, and I love being a woman. Happy Pride. #blog #trans #pride

Happy birthday to one of my favorite creators in the Apple community! If you want to get him a gift, go get one of his many great shirt designs! cottonbureau.com/people/basic...

Wild how little developers really gained here. Epic is celebrating because it resulted in a mutually useful deal for Epic and Google. Developers with less than a million in income got a 2% decrease in their fees. Companies like Epic got as much as 7% or 10%. It was never about the little guy.

Expanding my thoughts on that 404 piece. Just wow. I'd be embarrassed to launch these even without comparing myself to Steve Jobs on stage first.

So these are just plain bad, huh?

AI has entered the Spotify era of finances. They must do everything in their power to stop users from using their product or face going out of business.

happy pride month shout out to my aro/ace friends. their plight is the same as anyone else in the LGBTQ+ spectrum; understanding and acceptance of their existence, and we are stronger by fighting that fight together. by far some of the kindest, sharpest, most vibrant people i know.

Now available to buy on Apple TV. Excited to give this a watch:

Apple Invites is great and if you're not using it, you should be.

Lego Batman is a blast, but I can't help but get a little annoyed at the "person is being mugged, oh no that's bad" type stuff. I know it's a game for kids, but even the dialog would feel infantilizing to an 8 year old. Otherwise? 10/10 good stuff.

This fixes it. You can also go to the menu and filter by unread. For me? It was a long lost 2FA code. mastodon.social/@guysedai/116...

There's a 20% chance Apple can convince me to buy an iPhone Fold if the features and design all stand out. I wouldn't mind an excuse to switch back to a more traditional shooter when I want my photos to look great. The problem is why make that compromise when iPhone 18 Pro Max is right there? tough

I want to love this thing, but that price is almost comically bad. I'd buy a dedicated "for PC gaming" console at $499 in a heartbeat if it gave me access to the Steam library I'd otherwise never see on Mac or PS5. Alas, this is double the price and HD resolution for most cases. Oh well.

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

I still think killing this thing and focusing on spatial computing would be the smart move. There's still time. Also, I'm pretty sure this is like the third time in as many years we heard "Apple placed an order for foldable OLED with Samsung" or some such.

It’s true!!! The project I just started with WB just got announced at Annecy!! ✨Prehistoria✨ I call it a fossil fantasy 🥰I’m excited! it’s a dream come true already 😭

I'm so ready to upgrade my Apple TV and get a couple of new HomePods minis so I can shuffle some stuff around the house. Bring on that Home Hub too, whatever it is.

My newsletter this week is a particularly long brain dump on how I think about talking tech. Hope you enjoy:

iPadOS 27 is a great update even though it's the off year for iPad software.

RODERICK: …and, then, right after I quit drinking I got scabies… MERLIN: And, just to be clear, that is not a Casper mattress? RODERICK: No! This is the mattress I bought out of a shipping container. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaWf...

As I mentioned on this week's @trangirlismo.bsky.social, I've written 1700 words about Nostalgia, the Evils of Microsoft, and how racing games are the perfect way to embrace automotive enthusiasm. It would mean a lot if you gave it a read, steal this game if you want to play it, and BDS forever.

That iPhone Fold launching in 2026 seems less likely by the day.

Excited for this episode! Too bad this inevitably means we won't see KH4 until after FFVII Revelations is out. Either way, can't stop this hype train.
