FYI to the couple I overheard arguing about this at the grocery - Brown eggs and white eggs are the same. Brown eggs arenโ€™t better for you AND they arenโ€™t whole wheat eggs. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@shanselman That sounds like couple humor to me. Unless they had straight faces. Then I definitely wouldโ€™ve said something.

Weird bug Iโ€™ve never seen with any previous iPhone Iโ€™ve owned: my iPhone 15 Pro stopped charging over USB-C. Tried multiple cables, multiple chargers, nothing.

Powered the iPhone off and back on, and itโ€™s back to normal. But I canโ€™t recall ever seeing an iPhone refuse to charge before. (iOS 17.0.3.)

@gruber Youโ€™re charging it wrong, John.

One Android tech thing I don't understand: why still ship USB-A cables in 2023? I could maybe understand "people don't typically have USB-C bricks yet" but they include a charging brick!

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig Because desktop PCs don't have USB-C ports. (My guess.)

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig I mean, maybe the expensive โ€œgamingโ€ ones do, but most affordable, last-gen ones don't.

And yeah, I don't know, it was just a guess. I'd assume it's about backwards compatibility in some way. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/v6tcyn/what_is_going_on_with_usbc_on_desktop_pcs/

The ads in Apple News are both high-class and high-resolution.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber A premium user experience worthy of the โ€œ+โ€ moniker, indeed.

@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Who sells these ads, Apple or the publisher?

Have somehow only just noticed that Sonoma doesn't show any images for menu items in the menubar anymore for Catalyst apps.

@jamesthomson I have literally been a Mac user for over 15 years and I just now noticed you can have images for menu bar items. TIL.

The personalized Apple Music station I think is Apple Music's best feature. I do wish it acted more like a never-ending playlist instead of a station, however, similar to the โ€œAutoplayโ€ feature, where you can rewind and see which tracks are coming next.

Here's hoping for iOS 60 (more like visionOS 37) when we're all dead and gone and our great, great grandchildren finally remember that โ€œMusicโ€ is an app Apple makes.

It pisses me off that AP style is โ€œBlackโ€ (capital B) but โ€œwhiteโ€ (lowercase w).

Like, pick one. I propose that both should be lowercased (โ€œAfrican Americanโ€ should be capitalized because it describes two countries).

how does this site still not have quote tweeting

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig Because people on this website โ€” in a stark contrast to their political views โ€” are very resistant to change. They resisted changing the default instance to mastodon.social and enabling search among many other things. Apparently quote posting is โ€œtoxic.โ€ I donโ€™t get it.

Ok then. McCarthy is out; the House has no Speaker at the moment. Not 100% clear what happens next because, well, this is a first.

EshuMarneedi,

@GovTrack Well, the Speaker Pro Tempore becomes the interim speaker, then a vote is held to determine a new speaker.

Some sync operations were too slow today due to a huge server load. Sorry about that.

I've doubled that pool's server resources tonight to hopefully alleviate the problem. ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿ’ธ

Iโ€™m gonna launch a few items of merch next year. Theyโ€™re very cool and will appeal to a much wider reach than the โ€œSnazzy Labs YouTube audienceโ€ so I want to sell them under a separate brand. But what on earth do I name the site/company/etc.? Names are hardโ€ฆ

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@snazzyq Why not Snazzyโ€ฆ something? โ€œSnazzyโ€ is a pretty ambiguous and uncommon word that has a positive connotation โ€” all good things for marketing. And for people who do know your YouTube channel, they know itโ€™s all tied together. No need for a new name, IMO.

@snazzyq It does look very Apple-y; I like it!
