📺 Sugar

Stunning .. great job from Colin F .. but the homage to ‘noir’ yet modern, the direction, the cinematography, the colors, the lights, the nuance … everything. Just so good.

I have read that people loved the mid season ‘twist’ …if we are talking last scene in episode 6 .. yeah no .. I had that scene in my head for a couple of episodes prior, so no twist for me. In fact, it happened to coincide with when I thought the show had finished .. and I 🖇️ even posted that I was very disappointed with the ending (EEJIT I am).

Anyway .. all this to say … loved it. If you have 🍎 📺, whatever else you are watching stop - and go take a look.

🎈136/366 Translating A Transcript

German Language Podcast.
In 🍎 Podcasts - you can see the German language transcription.
BUT - you can’t copy the whole thing.
Looks like you can.
But you can’t.

I use software to record meetings.

Ooh I thought.

Play the podcast - and record - at end of podcast one german transcription. Run that through a translator and voila … or so I thought.

I did an experiment - thankfully.

What the software actually seems to have done is taken the german audio and decided as best it could as to what the german audio was saying - as if it was English.

This was the transcription ..

(Sorry - 🍎📰 )

.. I am of the opinion that if you’re too scared to drive this road - you shouldn’t be licensed for any road. What say you?


🔗Avoid these 3 common phrases—they make you look weak and insecure, experts say (🍎 News) ..

I don’t know .. I am sorry to ask, I just wonder if anyone else thinks this is a croc?

It just tends to be how we talk in England.

Reading all the various commentaries around DoJ v 🍎, I am finding ‘heads on Threads’ making good arguments.

Walt Mossberg for one.

Ben Thompson for another.

straight line

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

I can find a song in 🍎 🎵 Music.
I can play that song in 🍎 Music.
I can add that song to my library in 🍎 Music.
I can add that song to a playlist in 🍎 Music.
AND THEN …
In the playlist in 🍎 Music it is greyed out and I can’t play it.

What is up with that?


Just noticed that in the 🍎 store ‘Threads’ is listed as an ‘Instagram’ app .. not a ‘Meta’ app.

TIL that 🍎 is not quite as open and sharing with the Windows world as we might believe. YES - you can install an app called iCloud for Windoze on your PC BUT - for it to work - you need to authorize it from any device you have that is part of the 🍎 eco system.

Channeling Henry F - you can use any OS you want to use iCloud - but to authorize it you have to have an iOS device.

Filed In The Fucked Up Bucket … unless I read the tin wrongly?

For months I have had 4 ghost messages in 🍎 Mail. That’s 4 ‘unread messages’ according to the count - but no messages there.

It’s a known problem that has been there through many versions of OSX. In the past, I have always been able to flush it out with various tools like delete the plist, rebuild etc etc.

This time round - nada. I learned to live with it.

Until yesterday.

Out of the blue 13 more got added to the count. They just appeared (if that doesn’t confuse you - because of course the whole point is that they do not actually appear!

So now - a total of seventeen. FFS … Apple. Hello?
