Growing up in Canada, I’ve become so accustom to the (vastly superior) metric system, and the use of Celsius for measuring temperature.

Everyone says Fahrenheit (based on the state of salt water) is a good metric for what it feels like…

Well, let’s just say: at -40º I agree.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

It’s done. 14 days.

800GB of photos and 300GB of iMessage… I’m going to be indexing until iOS 28

[Ryan Jones @rjonesy]

Still indexing.

Not worried about it one bit. I have 600GB of photos and 10+ years of emails and iMessages.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@alexmack__ Ha! At least now I know who bought the .ca domain.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@maybe_anon_ @rjonesy Never tracked it, but they always ran cool.

Assuming similar to an AppleTV: less than a lightbulb.

@grittyscousin @ABCNetwork It’s a bit better now. They turned down the audience microphones.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@salmaogs Is it still open?

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@kevinclark Are you running the 26.4 beta? I found mine jumped up in size after install.

@PRCrecluse674 @rjonesy AirPlay 1 didn’t have per-channel volume control.

The last generation AirPort Express (2012 802.11n) received a firmware update in Aug 2018 to support the significantly improved AirPlay 2 protocol. In addition to volume control, the new protocol also supported longer buffering.

@allinkid The @NBCOlympics broadcast for Men’s big air was pretty awful overall.

brb rewatching on @CBCOlympics.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@NBCOlympics @NBCSports Your commentators were professional…. But truly lacked snowboarding trick language. Naming tricks strictly by rotation count. Felt like I was watching figure skating.

Bring in ex-athletes for the roll.

@CARROT_app Can you add a check-box for “13 Horoscopes?”

Then if enabled, the dates adjust to squeeze in Ophiuchus.

@SebAaltonen Not to go without notice… the entire phone now lives in the camera bump (aka the plateau).

Having opened every iPhone released… I was wowed.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@rjonesy No HSA support that I can see. Maybe with time?

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@RyanGittings @getshowcaseapp I would say this poll covers all important features. Personally, I would punt on lists, and prioritize bringing the app to iPad & Mac over lists.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@rjonesy I mean… it is a piece of art.

[Alex MacK @alexmack]

@stephenrobles I bought one on a friend’s recommendation who isn’t seeming to have this experience … but my experience has been the same as yours.
