I realise I often post essays in response 😂 just to clarify, I type out my responses usually whilst I’m listening. Otherwise my senile brain would forget everything and I’d not respond at all 😂
I did find an AI use I really like this weekend actually … selecting specific parts of an image. It’s nice to not have to painstakingly make sure you’ve got what bits you need. This I approve of 😆
Whatever their marketing tactics, the fact that there is the looming fear of a subscription doesn’t trigger ANY dopamine release. More like cortisol overload, which is poisonous for us 😒 if there is no subscription they could just tell us now and carry on with their anticipation build for the new release, but they won’t … which adds to the suspicion.
That campaigner clearly wants to speak to you 😂 probably sees it as a challenge. Next time you should answer the door, ask him if he can read and then, on an inevitable ‘yes’, ask why he still knocked 😂 he’ll quickly leave.
Soon cult member are going to be dousing themselves in fake tan in honour of the tangerine man 😂 my first iPhone (5S) and original iPad Pro were gold, but since find it tacky and, like you, prefer as close to black as I can get. It never disappoints.
I’ve recently noticed cancel or allow popping up randomly for things I’ve already previously allowed 😶 I feel like recent software releases are increasingly buggy. Whatever happened to QA?
Dixons! I used to love going in there. Comet was another one. Didn’t TeleText used to have some news and sports updates on them? Can’t remember now.
I remember Barbara Broccoli a few years ago turning the air blue when talking about what Amazon were doing with the Bond license 😂
Oh the Studio is a thing of absolute beauty 😁 so was Christopher 😂 Something I noticed when having a nosey at the Mac Studios – the M3 Ultra is more powerful than the M4 Max? 😶 did I miss something there? I always buy my non-custom Apple stuff from John Lewis. Love their 2-year warranty choice. Would also love black Mac Mini/Studio options. It’s so sexy on the laptops.
Concerning cables, Elaine would have a stroke if she saw the state of mine 😶 I just pretend they’re not there 😂
Eurgh. I don’t like any of the new OS updates. I did my phone, watch and ornamental iPad, but the Mac Mini and MBP are untouched. Just not willing to risk it.
Also, I sussed out the Obsidian local image link issue discovered during AH. All by myself like a big boy 😂 you basically add an extra bit before pasting in the link: ![FILE][paste link] and it works beautifully (as opposed to the ![paste link] for cloud based files) 😁 in the process I also noticed it doesn’t show images with an Affinity extension.
Fabulous show as ever. See you all Friday night 😁
