I know other folks here have commented about some strange bugs in AppStore connect - anyone have any help for @wplate?

So we have via rail tickets booked for August and naturally I loaded the tickets in Apple Wallet… then a few days later I got an email saying the schedule was going to change and now I’ve gotten 2 new sets of tickets and I’m sick of adding and deleting tickets 🥸 I should be able to just use the same set of tickets regardless of what schedule changes but I’m annoyed at this process. If the time changes by 5 minutes and I need a whole new set of tickets? Gesus…

@grivettcarnac I add the ticket bar codes to the calendar event.

@grivettcarnac We've done it for years. Put each trip as a separate calendar event (OTT->MTL, MTL->OTT, for example). Looks like this:

OTT-MTL T22-C5-6C&D
(train 22, Car 5, Seats 6C&D) This way, I have where we are headed at a glance, and the two car codes are labeled with each of our names.

Wednesday:
104 seconds of plank
11 minutes of yoga for runners
30 minutes of HIIT
20 minutes of strength training
23km of (16°C)

Then, a quick shower, and biked to today’s site, spent two hours in a comfortable server room (quite cool to normal types), broke for lunch, then spent two hours pulling fibre outside, couldn't figure out why I was dying, biked home, and saw that there was a Humidex of 38°C.

Oh. No wonder.

Can it be winter now please and thank you?

PLEASE?

I just wasted about 2 hours of my time trying to figure out why a server would only connect at 100Mbit instead of the expected 1Gbit.

I had all sorts of ideas, NIC, driver, driver settings, switch related ... and in the end, I almost don't dare to say it, it turned out to be a cabling problem ... you know, there's a tiny little difference between a Cat5 and a Cat5e cable ...

Who the heck still has Cat5 patch cables lying around?!! ... me, for example 😱 but one less now!!

@riaschissl Oh, it happens. The important thing is that you learned from it. Next time you'll check the cable sooner in the debug process.

Spent the afternoon setting up my new MacBook Air, installing loads of software. I like to do this manually, leaving behind all the unnecessary stuff from my former MacBook I don’t intend to use on the new machine…

@WTL@mastodon.social avatar

@sebastianhahn I don't always do this, but whenever there's a major change (processors; PowerPC → Intel → M-series), I always start fresh to avoid digital debris.

Also realized I’ve been a Mac user for twenty years now. Huh.

Taking my daughter to school this morning when, apropos of nothing, she breaks the groggy silence and says:

"what if, as we age, our eyeballs wrinkled too?" :googlyeye:

@mlawton @30yrdscreamer That's what I was thinking.

Grossest marketing trend I’ve been seeing lately: companies sending you an email after you browsed their website, asking if you “forgot” to buy something.

Sometimes I’m logged in, and sometimes it’s a device-level cookie making the connection. Even with every privacy setting I can find turned on, plus as much network stuff as possible.

WTL,
@WTL@mastodon.social avatar

@bomkatt @MythingPerson That is seriously creepy.

WTL,
@WTL@mastodon.social avatar

@bomkatt @MythingPerson Likewise, and you're right, it's gross.

I know it's there because it converts, but I wonder if they're tracking lost future sales by people turned off by it. 🤔 Suppose we'd have to tell them.
