Am pretty disappointed with watchOS 10. Battery life has collapsed and I can’t make it through the day without charging. If that’s because of the extra processing required for Smart Stack, it’s not worth it. And not being able to swipe between faces? Can’t believe that’s gone.
Don’t think I’m a fan of the heavier weight Apple has added to bold Japanese characters in iOS 17.
My favourite iOS 17 feature so far is that the top website suggestions in Mobile Safari now include a favicon.
There was briefly a 256GB iPhone 15 Pro Max available for pickup tomorrow at the Apple Store in Shinjuku but only the blue titanium model. I didn’t bite and, checking it a half hour later, it’s gone.
Not sure if ‘Don’t Panic’ is my favourite Coldplay song but it’s very close to it otherwise.
I’m sure I’ll rescind this as soon as the new iPhone is announced, but as of this moment I’m seriously considering skipping an upgrade this year and getting a stainless steel Apple Watch instead.
I feel like the networking stack on my iPhone frequently keels right over and crashes. If I try to run an app like Nice Trace, it’ll simply say it can’t resolve the domain.
How many times is too many times to listen to the Only Murders in the Building theme?
So I’ve finally started doing what I should have done when this hospitalisation began at the start of the month: use the time to study Japanese.
I’m really grateful for the Japanese expat community on Mastodon. I’m not on famichiki.jp (and not every expat is) but I wanted to specially call out the users on that instance: you all rock.
So in the very unlikely case this is useful information for anyone else, if you use your Japanese American Express card via QUICPay, you can see the merchant who charged the card. It’s on your monthly PDF statement (and only your PDF statement) in tiny, tiny text.
Why did I stop watching Poker Face? This show is excellent.
Was completely unaware that Gnarls Barkley’s ‘Gone Daddy Gone’ was a cover of the Violent Femmes original.
I love the crash of the opening drums on ‘R U Mine?’
