I hope Apple is going to refresh iMacs and Mac Minis to M2/M3 quite quickly because yo boy here is on the market to maybe pull the trigger somewhere there.

I’ve grown to love this watchface.

I am Apple Music user, love the quality, I have my fav playlists there. BUT because I’m YT Premium subscriber I’ve got an access to YouTube Music. It’s not the highest quality, of course, but it does work fine and in the web browser it actually works thousand times better than AM ever was.

This is definitely going to be a tricky one, but… is there an easy way (or cheap way) to move all of my #homekit onto something less iOS exclusive? If one would, like, want to get an #Android phone, then what would that one be able to do about current smart home? #smarthome

I wish it was easier to move to Pixel. I’d love to hop on that blue Pixel Pro train.

Just when I wanted to leave Arc and use something like Vivaldi, Arc is doing something cool again.

I wanted to actually think about starting Lemmy instance but honestly all of this content moderation made me instantly regret it. I think it would be fun to host it as in technical part of things, but all of the rest is definitely not fun.

Autostadt is still pretty fine.

Bird(s)!

WiFiman is just great tool. Everytime I’m outside and need to do something on local machines I’m thanking myself for picking Ubi Dream Machine as router because it’s just so easy to do stuff there! And no-configuration VPN is perfect.

Couple shots from Germany.

Food in Germany isn’t that bad.

I love how many these prominent CEOs have Signal installed. I mean if they use it to talk – and they do have lots to keep private because that would bury them – then I feel better about it. Signal is great.

Also – obligatory – fuck smoking. If you’re cigarette enthusiast, stop, live better life.

If someone asked me how this time meeting dad would be interesting I wouldn’t say “he woke up from two week’s coma” but here we are. He woke up and he’s getting better. Fuck, these last two weeks weren’t really my cup of tea.
