“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” needs an addendum:
“Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by an LLM response”

@Fre_domFighter @nanasmama @krassenstein @kuyajoy_ Except for the west data point, all of the other Oct 2024 data points are lower than the Oct 2020 data points? Oct 2021 also includes 4 months of Trump’s previous term and Biden starting in 2021 levels out then a rapid decrease from Oct 2023 to Oct 2024

Hitting command-a whilst in the search box for @googledrive highlights the files not the value of the text field. Why?!?

You can tell a person the answer but you can’t make them believe it

So @Starbucks suggested that to re-enable MFA on my account after it mysteriously broke a month ago that I could create a new account instead 🙃

“All emails are answered chronologically, so if you write multiple times your email will be pushed back in the queue.”

If I send multiple emails then they won’t process the first email in chronological order? Such a confusing statement.

I am forever amazed how useless @DHLUS is from trying to deliver to the wrong side of the street to ignoring their own vacation hold system. Continually one of the worst delivery providers I deal with.

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk You asked “can you even backup your iOS device to some other service” and I gave you some options including your local device and iMazing. I’m not saying they’re perfect I’m just answering the question of if you can backup to something g that isn’t iCloud

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@developerjack @fictillius You make it sound like an adventure. Be safe bold explorer

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk Not disagreeing just pointing out there is a first party supported alternative to iCloud and I'm also a fan of iMazing which has a backup tool though since iOS 16 it's a little less automatic (requires a passcode but I also need to do that when plugging in sometimes)

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk That's a curious omission because this page for iTunes on Windows specifically calls out that it automatically backups but I don't see anything else confirming it for the Mac side: https://t.co/QE8GnVWPra (also suggests it works via wifi too)

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk Also works on Windows if you're in that ecosystem as well via iTunes

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk I use my mac to also charge my phone, just need to plug it in to charge overnight and it also gets backed up (also syncs media like podcasts over too), not really that much of a pain

[Sam Moffatt @pasamio]

@horsemankukka @OptimusPrime088 @frokfrdk You can backup to a computer as well https://t.co/I5Oz4WTOBr

@horstpwr As a Mac user I really enjoyed what you brought to LMG and Mac Address with the unique style. When asked for an LMG tour what I’d like to see, you were at the top of my list (probably the only one). Good to see you back on the bike and look forward to seeing your next adventure

Heard last night that @Apple fired a Palestinian chef after they refused to work on a Jewish appreciation menu, doesn’t seem legal

It’s good to see @Xfinity cares about my feedback
