Disappointed in @Qantas. Had to delay our flights home to Victoria because of State of Disaster being issued, no leniency on their fare terms. I would have expected that given the current developing situation they might have some understanding. Nope.

"Alexa, open Splash Music!” That’s right, you can now make AI music using your voice! Launching at @ces today, our Splash Music Skill is now LIVE on all Alexa-enabled devices! Grateful to Amazon @alexadevs for the collaboration to bring the magic of music making to everyone using AI!

@aaandynic Came back here just to share this moment with you. Not sure when it happened, but damn its much better now.

[Ben Novakovic @bmn]

This still annoys me.

@jakobsonio Yeah about 3 years ago. Now I enjoy living 45 min drive from the snow!

Just purchased a new iPhone 14 Pro. DOA. Support is doing their best, but damn.. their process is not flexible at all if you live outside of major city.

Over the last 15 years I've had no problems with @AppleSupport or their hardware, but perhaps back to Android now?

Why do some people wear AirPods in the opposite ears? I see it so often. Is it some big brain hack for better audio quality, or people just be silly? Can someone enlighten me?

@dpn Good use of taxpayer money right there 🤣

When the culture is more important than the sport.

Ecuadorian fans are chanting "Queremos cerveza" now.

That translates to “we want beer.”

@beijingdou The thing that Elon doesn’t understand about Twitter (any why the exodus is happening), is the culture. It’s so different to the rest of the Valley, and is what makes employees passionate about the company and product.

Its contents are shocking.

Here are the highlights:
