@chrishannah Enjoy the majesty of God's creation, my friend! He put it all in motion and now taps us on the shoulder reminding us to look up and re-engage.
(It's probably 4-5 hours before I get my nudge.)
Keep the pics coming!
@chrishannah They regularly put the Pixel 8 on sale for $549 as well, so if you can wait, you can get a good amount more phone for basically the same price.
I just watched Perfect Days (2023). I haven't yet fully understood the
effect it's had on me. But I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Days
I think I'm going to work on a list of what's stopping me from leaving the iPhone. It feels like the list is shrinking, but I'm not 100% sure what’s left.
One thing I've never managed to use properly on the iPhone is Face ID. It's always been good at recognising my face and then unlocking the device. Although it's never been as fast as what I've seen others experience.
But I swear I'm always needing to enter my passcode. I get the “you need to use your passcode to unlock Face ID" message multiple times throughout most days. And I'm starting to think that I'm doing something wrong?
@chrishannah I won’t say you’re doing anything wrong, but I get that “do your passcode first” message like once a month or something. That sounds frustrating.
@matt I just think, am I doing something by accident like tapping the screen when it's not facing me, or accidentally holding down buttons that then somehow reset the state and requiring a passcode.
I might have to give YouTube Music a real go soon. it seems to understand my tastes much better than any "normal" streaming service, and it seems to have a lot more variety.
If I ever switch away from using an iPhone, it would cause a massive cascading
effect on nearly every part of my digital (and some physical) life.
Simply because, if I could ever bring myself to break out of Apple's walled
garden, I would want to steer clear of anything similar. I wouldn't want to just
replace everything Apple with everything Google, for example.
@chrishannah The only thing really locking me to iOS is iMessage. Whilst there are other apps I love, and I have no beef with iPhone itself (and don’t thin I’d choose anything else anyway as long as iPhone is so good), only iMessage would be a “problem” to move away from.
