Up there in my top productivity killers is my Magic Trackpad in need of a charge.

@andycarolan @bardi This is also a life saver, magnetic cable with plugs in all your accessories.

@bardi @andycarolan Yes, it’s also the fastest way to pair it with any mac. Plug the cable, click the surface… paired. I use this frequently between different macs.

@bardi @andycarolan At least the magic trackpad can be used while charging.

@andycarolan @bardi Just tested to be sure, yes the trackpad works immediately on the iPad, even with BT disabled (so it’s using the wired connection). Can’t tell for sure if it’s charging at that point, as it’s not listed in the BT list, but it does work.

One thing that made my latest holiday/vacay more stressful was the endless pre-booking emails.

Pre-book food! Pre-book activities! Book early arrival! Book extra treats! Check out the latest! You're coming soon! We're excited to see you! Are you excited? Let me upsell you! Don't leave anything until you're actually here, it'll all be booked up! Stress out now, relax later!

FUCK THE FUCK OFF

Centerparcs and a Legoland Windsor hotel booking, in this case.

Exhausting.

Tech pundits have been talking forever about their imagined need for Apple Pencil to be turned around and used as an eraser. Most of them stating that they don‘t use the Pencil much.

Let me tell you that nobody actually using the Pencil on a regular basis is missing this.

@marcel Never used the eraser much on my Wacom styli because it didn’t feel precise and convincing. So, didn’t miss it on the Apple pencil. However, the double tap on the side is frequently activated by just grabbing the pencil, so I’d love to see a well implemented eraser on the end that fixes both problems.

@melgu @marcel Without haptic feedback the double tap is pretty much useless to me. The side button(s) from the Wacom stylus are perhaps the best compromise?
Even the stem of the AirPods has tactile feedback when you squeeze them, so that would be an improvement.

One of these things I would like to tell to fuck right off, but I don't get given that option. And it's not the laundry.

@JeroenSchaper It’s from the Dyson air purifier

Surprised to see so many people (still) using DDG & bing. I don’t think I can go back from using Kagi anytime soon.

Setapp Mobile is here 🇪🇺. Let’s see what roadblocks Apple has put up to scare you from using it 🧐
