Ok, this wallpaper is pretty darned sweet. https://iconfactory.world/@Iconfactory/112451468125191444

@Iconfactory @gedeonm just tried to see the new wallpaper and app wants me to restore purchase, tried that but still no go. I was a Kickstarter sponsor for Tapestry so not sure how to unlock the app again.

@gedeonm @Iconfactory It does. But is see this.

Update the second on the weird payment issue. I got a second remittance advice email just now, opened my bank app with some trepidation, and there the payment was. Which was quick. Even though it was also six weeks late.

Anyway, Iโ€™m glad thatโ€™s over. Sincere thanks to everyone here who chipped in with advice and support.

Kubrick foresaw high-resolution retina displays in 1968. (To create the effect, they rear-projected high-resolution slides.)

Editing a snippet on a very early portable computer โ€“ the SX-64. You might grumble about how much your laptop weighs. This thing made scales gasp with its 10.5kg (~23 pounds) heft.

@craiggrannell I remember using the first Macintosh Portable, weighed a lot and was a big โ€˜upgrade' to the Osborn 1. We sold quite a few of the Mac Portable.

Folded three of my t-shirts out of the dryer at random and got this awesome color palette by chance. Definitely using it for something.

What Iโ€™d like from todayโ€™s Apple iPad event:

  • Camera on the long side of the iPad (where it belongs)
  • Longer battery life
  • Faster processor (duh)
  • To not have Sherlocked ๐Ÿ™

@gedeonm enjoy. My gen 1 iPad Pro 11โ€ is still plenty fast after all these years. Doubt Iโ€™ll upgrade anytime soon.

Increasingly waking up with #anxiety. Went online for solutions. Breathing exercises. (Donโ€™t do nearly enough.) Get more sleep. (Interrupted by anxiety!) Drink enough water. (I do.) Improve gut health/flora. (NHS has mucked me around for over a decade now re increasingly debilitating gut/allergy conditions. No help whatsoever.)

Itโ€™s a lovely morning outside. I just wish my physical self wasnโ€™t blocking my mental self from seeing it. :/ โ˜€๏ธ

@craiggrannell I find a walk focused on the dog works for me to clear my head.

simonharper,
@simonharper@mastodon.social avatar

@craiggrannell good to hear youโ€™ve managed to reduce the anxiety levels Craig! It is very annoying indeed, and wasnโ€™t aware that gut/immune systems health was a factor in this, one I will look into for sure.

@simonharper@mastodon.social avatar

@craiggrannell Sounds like a crazy situation being โ€˜told offโ€™ yet not being given access to a dietician to help you manage it!

@craiggrannell I hope you can get it sorted sir, is there no private way to go?

GMโ€™s decision to move away from CarPlay was to avoid Apple having too much control over vehicles. Itโ€™s going to be a bumpy ride for consumers.
https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/05/01/gms-carplay-replacement-doesnt-work-well-and-has-a-long-road-ahead-of-it?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon

simonharper,
@simonharper@mastodon.social avatar

@appleinsider Sorry but what control does CarPlay have over the vehicle? The manufacturer choses what API's to use beyond the standard โ€˜iOS mirroringโ€™, Apple do not dictate they have to have access to anything other than using the display, bluetooth for phone use etc. Crazy point of view. The only thing GM loses is customers.

Unless a car has CarPlay support, I avoid it. Same for Android Auto users I guess? Having my iPhone appear on the touch screen keeps things familiar and easy to use.

This was such a weird film. I remember watching it and felt like it was trolling me, given that it was like someone had left in all the set-ups and edited out half the punchlines.
