I know it is very early but I HATE iOS 26 redesign. Seriously hate this liquid glass.

I did a thing. Bye Pixel! I needed something with more power and battery.

Her name is Ptyśka (closest translation would be cream puff), she’s a rescue, two years old and from now on – she lives with us! 🐕🥰

“When you think about it, this is nothing like the EU’s recent-ish mandate that most electronic devices must support USB-C ports for charging. I still think that law was unnecessary — the market forces had worked, and the whole world had either already moved (like iPads did starting in 2018) or was on the cusp of moving to USB-C (like iPhones).”

Holy fuck, I’m not the brightest but I know a bad take when I see one.

My iPod was getting full (I had only 128GB SD card in it) so I have added additional 256GB. This time we are golden.

The Studio – perfect. Per-fect.

Life is too short to listen to shitty podcasts, I say to myself when I try to skim through uninteresting parts of Cortex and simultaneously unsubscribing to LOTS of different podcasts that I haven’t listened to nor will listen to anytime in the future.

I like it more on Android. Big changes from what I remember from around 2018.

Voted.

I’m in between notes app – I’ve got copies of my notes in Standard Notes, Google Keep and Notion. 🙈

I see myself turning my phone notifications off more and more. I like when my phone is dead silent and I can check it when I want to. Also, double notifications (one on my pc, one on my phone) are so fucking annoying.

Dear old me, let’s just say that a couple of things has changed.

Just did it: github.com/Olsro/ipo…

I now have (nearly) all of the old iPod games on my iPod!

Also, Android stuck. I’m good. Like – seriously – everything works great. No issues (other than battery, but that’s fixable with either a power bank or – later on – getting a slightly better phone).

I’m very curious about these new, Chinese phones with 7000/8000 mAh batteries. This is bonkers. But also, I’m not going to use something that isn’t the Pixel experience because this is wild how good it is.

I reinstalled Windows like I said a couple of days ago but didn’t have a chance to actually configure it for a week, so I’m on Mac for my second week, and honestly, it’s so refreshing.

Not sure if I would change my decision in the past from this tower PC to some kind of Mac Mini. On one hand, Windows is bad, and Linux lacks some apps I need for work. On the other, I’m playing games on my PC (not in last week though, but it was a crazy week in my defense!) and I very much like it.

I’m going to configure it later for sure, but maybe I should make my PC exclusively a personal gaming machine with no work on it at all? Maybe that’s the move?
