David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 03/10/2026Same! I almost bought the XTIENK x4 Pro last night. But that new BOOX you posted looks nicer especially with the USB-C port for the same price. 011
David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 02/10/2026Sorry, that was harsh. I'm a designer, so my screen having accurate and consistent color is crucial. I don't know the context here. Just saying if I bought that direct from Apple, I would immediately return it. 100

David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 01/10/2026Dang, if I hadn't gone to the dentist this week, I would be ending the year with 400 hours of sick leave accrued which is a very satisfyingly round number. Much nicer than 397. 😔😅 (I also realize how fortunate I am that I even earn SL, and that I haven't had to use it much anymore.) 010
David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 01/10/2026Agree generally… but disgustingly they are a bit related by the fact that some of the main people behind AI companies and research are known rapists and sexual abusers, plus have their sex cult that's very into CNC. There's been a whole big discussion about it in the last 2 weeks or so especially. 100

David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 01/10/2026While it's really nice looking, it feels insanely overpriced. I get much of the same benefit with just my iPad Pro as a travel monitor. Plus the iPad is also functional when not in use as a second display. 010

David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 01/10/2026Man, I love Nigella on GBBO! What a wonderful addition & I love how she pushes back on Paul! The cameraman or editor who either hates her or is creepily obsessed needs to lay off though. Why the insane zoom in on her mouth for nearly every bite of food? That wasn't a thing before. Fucking weird. 290

David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 27/09/2026It really feels like an editor is either obsessed with her or hates her the way they focus and linger on her mouth repeatedly.
