Me: oh, it's nice out and I took my allergy meds, so let's sit outside for a while.
Allergies, after realizing I'm outside: yeah, no.

@inferis Me: Ok, I can work through the allergies

Outside: mosquitoes

I looked at a list of movies coming out this Summer to figure out what was going to get me to the theater, and as far as I could tell it was all sequels. I’m sure some of them will be good, but where’s the new stuff?

@joesteel I’m sure Kevin Costner’s ego project will turn Hollywood around.

@matt Maybe next year the Barbenheimer effect will have had time to affect the production cycle and we’ll see some new-ish big projects? I'm not optimistic in the current market.

@matt …says the guy who watched two movies this weekend, and they were Gene Hackman and Walter Matthau vehicles from the 70s.

  1. Messages should have a "Known and Unread" tab, and I should be allowed to pin it, and it should be mostly the only messages I ever have to see.

  2. The President is personally disappointed in me.

@agiletortoise Are there any special toggles needed to enable an iOS app to be installable via TestFlight on visionOS? Have a few apps that are enabled for visionOS, but only in the App Store version and not allowed to install via TestFlight.

agiletortoise,
@agiletortoise@mastodon.social avatar

@tchaten Yes. There are toggles in TestFlight group configuration for whether you want to allow install on Vision Pro (and also Apple Silicon Macs).

Anyone have a suggestion for a cheap soundbar style computer USB speaker? Something with no LED barf and that doesn't look gamery.

agiletortoise,
@agiletortoise@mastodon.social avatar

@paul Not sure what your overall goals are, but I've been using a Klipsch One (predecessor to linked model) on my desk for a couple of years. Sounds great, looks nice, sits under my monitor easily. It's got BT, but I use the hard-wired AUX in. https://www.klipsch.com/products/the-one-plus

@agiletortoise@mastodon.social avatar

@paul You can get the previous generation I have for only $150. Still maybe that's not "cheap”. https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Heritage-Wireless-Tabletop-Stereo/dp/B07QZDH8DF/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1BOVY7R061WE7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.99QF7hd_vzRFDJqlG70ThMNwD7xkLNAFdHRQjqTlepXe6nlmvUSygBbZypV6g_qZaRHdMSfWgkxxI5MZKTvH7usvoisKf0zaGmiqPniZgWan4B5V_b_coLZksERvFVNfpMi98U1TstxxxIt4_PWYB6r5U-2SM5lCvgqhz9LByiM7Rbzk9tM6-QqQXJLu-kavnq5IaB9p13QWO32IyTUlbb0SiQc4mASuibnXGc3EDXk.43v5HJYTR4Ki24ObGcWfWGz4sCGRoCQebXS9JDy9Tck&dib_tag=se&keywords=klipsch+one&qid=1715957389&sprefix=klipsch+one%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-3

@paul Fair. If that was the case, I'd watch FB Marketplace for a used JBL Charge 4. You could probably pick up for ~$70, and they are really useful to grab and use on the patio or whatever.

@institute1111 @paul It's got an 1/8” AUX in.

So, if Apple outsources AI to Open AI, or Google, or whatever, do they sidestep having to count that energy consumption in their Apple 2030 initiative reports?

I wish Google’s vision aligned more with being the water treatment plant of the Internet, and less with providing the dehydrated, condensed poop version.
