I’ve been riding the BMW F900XR for a couple of years and I’m on the hunt for a replacement. Narrowed down to 2: Honda NT1100 or Yamaha Tracer 9GT+. Which one do you think & why? #newMotorcycle #Honda #Yamaha

[T J Smith @tjs_uk]

Well, won't be getting the Yamaha Tracer 9GT+ locally. My local dealership sold their only demo and now they want me to test ride an older model and then tell me about the improvements. That's a no from me!

I’d like to thank @Apple who sold me a new #iPhone15ProMax which successfully paired to my #AppleWatchUltra & promptly destroyed more than 3 years of exercise data & badges. @AppleSupport shrugs & doesn’t have an answer. The data was being backed up on iCloud.

@X To not receive unsolicited tweets from people I’m not following… that will be nice!

.@MicrosoftTeams I have noticed that the new Teams is not allowing 3rd party app API via Privacy. This appears to be a backward step for a new application. When will this be remedied?

Yesterday's Apple event seemed to be more about how Apple is complying with expected standards (Mother Nature and EU Regulations) and less about driving their products forward. #AppleEvent2023

[T J Smith @tjs_uk]

To be clear, the new iPhone 15 pro series is the 14 pro series with a titanium case (which will go inside another case, so not bothered), 5 x optical zoom, and a USB-C charging port which Apple was told to conform to by the EU. #iPhone15Pro #iPhone15ProMax

@PicturesFoIder Regardless of which one goes first, there’s a bigger problem, they’re all on the wrong side of the road and simply shouldn’t be allowed on the road. 😉

Oh crap, @insta360 has launched the #Insta360GO3 (Go3) and now there’s another gadget that may make things easier for me in commuting on my motorcycle.

Watching #GoogleIO2023 I feel that I saw this presentation earlier this year delivered by @Microsoft.

Purchased TV shows on @AppleTV not working. Reset software, no change. Works on other iOS devices. Others experiencing the same issue on forums etc. Bought a new show on Saturday, can’t access it or any other shows.

I’ve been writing new material for my YouTube channel & the classroom. Started by building material on #Java Collections & now writing about the Big-O and Design Patterns. #teachingComputing #exciting

@abodass @YouTube @java @aspnet Oh, and thank you 😊

[T J Smith @tjs_uk]

Going to produce more videos for my newly renamed @Youtube channel Kernow Coder. Continuing the @Java series, introducing the #csharp series and redoing the @aspnet material. Feel free to take a look: Programming in Java with IntelliJ Idea

@abodass @YouTube @java @aspnet Hi, I’ve not created any videos. I plan on creating some more on https://t.co/9ATebEufOR soon. I’ll do a reboot of the first six, based on feedback and develop a complete set.

Will ChatGPT make developers 10x faster?

Yes, if they know what it wrote and understand it.

Otherwise it will make the code wrong, 10x faster.

All my Apple HomePod minis not talking to HomeKit devices, stating they need setting up. Happened over night. @AppleSupport #homepodmini #homekit @Apple

@RobertB69243705 @MissTilly__ @RoyalMailHelp Oh, and when I was a postie we had administrators, supervisors, managers working in the RDC that would field phone calls and deal with issues, but that has all gone now in preference to a dated system. It's not the posties who I have a problem with it's the system used by RM.
