Jeezus @Philips why is your iOS @tweethue app so crap? How do you still not have widgets so that we don’t have to consume so much space on the screen for such a simple thing: “launch
scene”?! @LukeRobertsLamp you’re not much better with your widget that can’t be customized.

@padresj @iainthomson With the nfl you can gain 2 hrs a game just from the flood of commercials in a 60 minute game it takes 3 hrs 30 minutes to broadcast. 🤣

@andrewjclare I’d prefer the SIM tray back instead of the plastic plug, or bigger battery. My phone lives in a case so edge appearance is irrelevant so long as it’s black.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

@tech_instigator Yes yes it would. This is something many of us have been calling for, for many years. It would also make the frame much more robust vs flexing.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

@ant_pruitt Indeed. Which is why I will continue to , for films and series I super love as well as music , purchase optical media (cd, dvd,bd) to have my own physical library.

@tech_instigator If the dive is using the watch running as a dive computer , then he may have exceeded his non-decompression diving limit at this point - doesn’t relate to the pressure depth limit of the hardware. Not sure what the dive display is monitoring.

@jyriand For pure tjme keeping - yes.

@chicdietchick So I asked myself for Set 2 (much older). Is $530 worth it vs the paid for, working watch.

SE is much newer.

What I gained for $530 ( zero resale value of the series 2):
1) fall and crash detection
2) always on display
3) on device Siri to add items to shopping list

#AppleWatch Series 2 vs Series 9
The Series 2 has seen full daily use on my wrist through this day. Aluminum bodies.

@SGgrc the latest #SecurityNow opening segment of MacOS and PostScript. Sometimes one must slow down a bit. You kept conflating PS and PDF and condemning PS. There isn’t anything wrong or dangerous with PS. The problem is the buggy interpreter, that is Apple’s PSNormanlizer.

@ant_pruitt #SecurityNow “please and thank you”. A fine southern gentlemen. Well said sir. 🥃

New is always initially off putting but the new Seattle Sounders FC logo crest is meh. #Sounders
Follows the now trending minimalist graphic arts logo trend corporations are using. Did a consultant recommends this change? Feels like it.

@AwopetuPhilip If you feel strongly enough , buy a spare button, go have it professionally anodized or vapor depositioned in orange and then replace the existing button at a place that does quality screen repairs.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

@iam_tech It already has it. Only psychopathic morons film portrait video.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

@halidecamera Well I’d never buy one as my phones sit in a wallet case all the time and more holes in it is a stupid idea, plus holding it to film would be nearly impossible.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

The wait is on for the iPhone 16 models.
Because the features needed are:
1) at least 10x optical telephoto
2) touchID in power button to supplement faceID.
3) use volume between camera lenses and current back to make case thicker for more battery volume.

[Thomas Smailus @ThomasSmailus]

Waiting for release of MagSafe super strong mounting T7 SSD sleeves and appropriately designed flexible and short USB 4 / Thunderbolt 4 cable, ideally with a handgrip , to start using the iPhone Pro Max external recording capabilities. It that solution also has a 3.5mm mic jack🥃

Hey @Etsy riddle me this.
With all my push notifications set to only send notifications about my purchases, why they hell are you pushing this nonsensical ad junk mail notifications? This is how you loose all notification privileges.

@F1 in the USA , where the broadcasted ABC/ESPN moves FP1 from the channel everyone has to an obscure channel most people don’t , so on the big channel they can show: high school football from “who gives a fuckville” #JapanGP #JapaneseGP
