In sort of baffling emails from Apple, my wife got an email from Apple alerting her that her Apple ID has been used to download the library app. However for some reason it’s addressed to me even though her Apple ID predates our marriage. I assume it’s because we’re on […] [Original post on c.im]

What’s it like being an iPhone owner? Apple: “We have the most amazing machine learning. Neural engines, many of them. They have incredible power! 20% more power than some other arbitrary benchmark! Also LLMs but not in Europe. Me: “Great! What am I supposed to do […] [Original post on c.im]

As an obsessive reminder CLI user for years I’m trying out #unforgetful on iOS. What I was hoping for is the same sort of fast “throw everything into a pile and ensure you don’t lose any of it” that the reminder command line tool has. It is good at dumping lots of […] [Original post on c.im]

I’m not 100% sure how Meta is still a profitable company. I needed to look up something on Facebook and decided to install the app for the first time in years. What in the hell folks? First I get through the login screen with my 2FA code but then almost immediately I’m […] [Original post on c.im]

Woke up this morning to the motor and wheel on my electric cargo bike being stolen. I love living in #copenhagen but this is the third bike that has been destroyed by thieves. It's like the one type of crime that seems to be thriving in Denmark. Thankfully covered by […] [Original post on c.im]

Downside of working at LEGO is you end up just giving your salary back to them when you visit the store. These are gonna be my weekend project.

If you are in the market for a fountain pen I cannot recommend the Jinhao 777 enough. It costs €1, looks nice and writes like an absolute dream. I’ve refilled the cartridge in this one 10 times and it’s still going strong. #fountainpen #fountainpens
