There was a refurbished 2018 Mac Mini on Apple’s site for ¥60,000. I was torn about whether to get it (I bought a second-hand 2011 model for ¥30,000 earlier this year) but the decision was made for me: it was gone within 10 minutes.

I like the GIF search in Gboard but I wish you could make that view of the keyboard the default. Image search is all I want to use that keyboard for.

This idea isn’t fully-formed but I realised last night that I watch videos about music (by teachers and critics) in something akin to the way normal people watch cooking shows. I’ve never understood the appeal of cooking shows. But this helps me get close.

Is the Get Up! Mix in Apple Music new? It says mine was updated on Monday but I just noticed it.

Got Pondent to version 0.4.0!

Oh look—it’s that fun game of trying to decide whether to risk shutting down your Mac mid-upgrade or continue waiting another 30 minutes while nothing happens.

It’s a truly beautiful day in Tokyo today.

I’m loving this season of Westworld. Can’t wait for next week’s episode.

What did Frankie do after he got to Hollywood?

I listen to a live version of a Pearl Jam song once and Apple Music becomes that annoying super fan who keeps recommending a band’s concert recordings to you long after you’ve tried to subtly indicate you’re not interested.

This is a great apology. No responsibility-dodging ‘may have’ turns of phrase. Just a straight up sorry.

Japanese IT companies rarely provide one-click unsubscribe links from marketing e-mails and I derive immense satisfaction from marking these as spam. Incidentally, evidence that legislating this kind of thing (or failing to do so) has a real impact on corporate behaviour.

Success! You can add libraries from a Plex Media Server to Infuse via the DLNA server (once enabled) and then turn off timeline reporting. If you do this, videos won’t be added to your watch history. Perfect for creating a ‘view’ on your collection that’s for your kids.

I need to change the theme of my microblog or at least tweak it so it doesn’t look like every other Micro.blog website.

Didn’t expect Frozen II to come to Disney+ so quickly.

It took most of last night but I think I’ve got file uploading working in Pondent in at least some form.

I want to watch Blade Runner 2049 again.

So I think I can attach images to posts now.
