Wanting to change drive icons, instead of tedious search I tried Bing Image Creator using “steampunk” and “file cabinet” and a few other words. I was shocked by the efficacy. I get why artists are mad and scared now. We probably all will be before AI is done with us, I think.

Serendipity of the Day: an entire package of fabulous Speculoos from Trader Joe’s fits inside an OXO mini rectangle container.

Apple may be trying a new Magic Keyboard, but the old one was a trying experience. Ungainly and awkward on my lap, I returned it and returned to the Smart Keyboard Folio, spent the extra on brown leather back and white keycaps.

Is there an app setting or lawyer that I can select to stop ads in my “ad-free” MAX Plan? Tech support said, “regarding those pop-ups, you may see them from time to time as we love to keep our fans in the loop about any new and exciting shows, movies, and features that are coming to Max!”

Surface exists upon the interest of Panos Panay and sufferance of Satya Nadella, but for how much longer?

It does make a sound. Also, a small dent in the gutter where the top hit, as well as a $650 bill for cutting bringing it and another dead tree down.

Five seconds of snow captured on video, likely the last snow of this year—not just this winter—because that’s how climate change rolls in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

My wife got three bouquets of flowers. Her father arranged them into four vases. They all look this good. I think he missed his calling.

Once again, #AppleWeather radar fails to provide basic functionality and #AppleSupport provides no explanation. Apple loves to tell us when their services save lives, but relying solely on Apple Weather for timely information feels like a safety risk to me.

Before Bing chat was lobotomized, I asked it to “write me a story about a unicorn.” What I got was half a story, half a synopis of a story, and arguably traumatizing to young children. Nice.
