Carpool Karaoke is great. Just not sure it’ll be same appeal w/out Corden behind the wheel. And will stars sign on?

iOS 12.1.2 is a 16C build, while the beta was a 16D build. Looks like Apple rushed out the release with emergency fixes/updates and will push back the original 12.1.2 to a 12.1.3 release.

This is a weird rumor, but it’s about the only explanation I can come up with that possibly explains why subtracting 74 vertical pixels from the display resolutions we discovered yields a perfect 16:10 ratio for both screen sizes.

Gonna keep complaining about the pile of crap that is Safari 15 for Mac. When you restart it and it reopens your tabs, it opens ones you closed hours ago instead of the ones you actually had open when you quit the app.

Think it’s the difference between the 38/42 and 40/44 mm generations. Luxo has larger display to body ratio ni those images, and the side buttons are flush on recent models while they protruded a little on older ones.

They don’t have your credit card. You send them like $20, and that’s all they can spend. And you can even cut them off from that.

Don’t really understand the uproar over Apple potentially not including an adapter with new iPhones. I’ve got a drawer full of them that I never use. If you need one, you can buy one, including a third-party one that fits your needs.

Apple Watch received, and as feared, braided loop is a bit too big. Don’t love the band design either. Hard to get on and off the wrist, and looks a little janky where the yarn meets the watch casing. Do love the blue watch though.

Not content with going after Apple, Epic is now coming after my neighborhood, planning to turn what should be a gateway development for my town into its own private compound. Awful proposal that flies in the face of years of planning for the area.
Town of Cary & residents sandbagged by Epic Games rezoning request at Cary Town Center.
Bad:
Elimination of a planned greenway.
No public street access from Walnut Street to Triangle Aquatic Center.
On the Cary Town Council meeting agenda Thursday, 12/16.

99% of the time I use my MacBook Pro as a desktop replacement with a Magic Keyboard. The other 1% of the time it’s fun discovering which keys on the MBP have decided to stop working.

This is likely a good way to find yourself no longer in discussions in Apple.
In a statement just obtained by

@cherykang
, the auto giant Hyundai says:
“We understand that Apple is in discussion with a variety of global automakers, including Hyundai Motor.
As the discussion is at its early stage, nothing has been decided.”

Canceled my Apple News+ trial before they started charging me tomorrow. Not enough content of interest to me, and the whole user experience is just mind-bogglingly bad. Here’s hoping they get it figured out at some point.

Pretty impressed by the iCloud postmaster team. Our newsletter emails sent to people with iCloud/Me/Mac addresses were getting blocked by Apple, so I sent them an email with details, and 8 hours later the issue was fixed. Fully expected the help address to be a black hole.
