Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 03/10/2026Thanks Vizio! Not like I was in the middle of a movie or anything. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 23/09/2026@theverge.com @andrewrweb.bsky.social @sringsmuth.bsky.social Microsoft’s “Grand Plan” for Halo sounds like something Trump would come up with. No snark, but just change this to “We love Halo. We have all the devs. We have the best devs. The fans deserve it and we’re gonna bring it to them!” 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 24/08/2026@polygon.com Trying to read an article on my phone. I get to use about 30% of my screen for the article, and the rest for ads. This sucks. 010
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 23/08/2026I finally got myself a pair of the Nothing Headphone (1)s last week. So far they’re fantastic. Half the price of Apple’s AirPods Max, and they have one incredible feature those don’t. An on/off switch. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 09/08/2026@reckless.bsky.social @theverge.com and anyone else who might remember. It’s the end of a (very short lived) era from, what, fifteen years ago? I hope @vergecoffee lives on in some form. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 05/08/2026Got a really tiny ereader yesterday and it’s great. I would never attempt to read this particular book on it, but it makes for a good lock screen. @markzdanielewski.bsky.social 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 28/07/2026[Patient First Name] here. I’ve really missed seeing you too! 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 23/07/2026Oh look, #AmazonMusic is down. I’ll be anxiously awaiting my discount to make up for the outage. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 05/07/2026@jazzastudios.com I know things are a little tough right now, so I wanted to send you this. My daughter splatter painting a door with her Customize It kit. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 01/07/2026I came up with a new AI challenge. I gave Gemini the same prompt, nine times. Each time I only changed the coordinates, indicating which part of the picture to generate. The image is the final result of all nine combined. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 17/06/2026You have got to be kidding me. I already pay Amazon to store photos as part of my Prime subscription. And I bought this hardware. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 11/06/2026I just bought a screen protector that can protect my phone from meteors. Only $12 for two of them! 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 10/06/2026Whoa. I just found this. It’s got two ribbon bookmarks, on opposite sides, so you can keep track of reading both stories separately. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 10/06/2026@sringsmuth.bsky.social Two stories, one reads from the front of the book to the back, the other back to front. Poetical style. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 09/06/2026Got a bucket list book in the mail today. @markzdanielewski.bsky.social 300
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 08/06/2026Specifically, my Dexcom blood sugar CGM complication. At the 6:00 spot. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 08/06/2026@reckless.bsky.social, the cutoff for Apple Watches with this year's OS is insane. Also, please ask Craig why we can't have watch hands go *behind* complications, instead of covering them up? Some of us have important health complications that often get blocked by the watch hands. 120
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 06/06/2026@pcmag.com says the Oura 4 and Oura 5 difference comes down to millimeters, then lists the dimensions in inches 🙄. A tiny gripe, I know. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 30/05/2026@samthielman.com @sringsmuth.bsky.social I got something slightly different, but just as accurate. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 27/05/2026Is it 2027 next year? AI Overview says no. But then yes, but in a way that’s also wrong. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 18/05/2026AI why? So preoccupied with whether or not they should… This is a Microsoft Edge update that was just pushed. Look at the words, “no need to watch end to end”. They want AI to watch YouTube for me now, so I can just get a summary of the highlights. Why? Why does this exist? 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 15/05/2026Tell me, where do I tap to change my background photo? iPhone’s UI has really degraded over the years. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 13/05/2026This screenshot from the GoogleBook demo says everything. Instead of clicking the Reply button, I have the option of wiggling the cursor, waiting for Gemini to pop up, and give the option to draft a reply. If this isn’t the perfect example of AI being shoved down our throats, I don’t know what is. 010
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 27/04/2026This door is the answer to life, the universe and everything. 100
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 24/03/2026Translation: Musk has a buddy that can do 3D rendering, this thing will never exist, but his investors will continue to throw money at him. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 20/03/2026I miss the old internet. When it wasn’t all AI and algorithms. When it was humans doing things for other humans. Context: The Oura Ring 5 does not exist. Oura Ring 4 is the current generation, and Oura hasn’t even teased or mentioned the next model. 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 12/03/2026Seriously, what’s the point of this huge empty space on the iPhone keyboard? 000
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 09/12/2025Thank you, @markzdanielewski.bsky.social, for a great evening in Des Moines. Absolutely worth my three hour drive. Clop Clop clip Clop. 062
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 18/11/2025A mail truck I photographed on a walk in downtown Madison Wisconsin. Edited in Affinity on an iPad Pro. 031
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 28/10/2025The Leatherman Style CS. They don't make them anymore, so you have to go to eBay or another marketplace. But it's hands down the best pocketknife I've ever owned. 110
Phil Ringsmuth @philringsmuth.com · 29/09/2025I wasn’t aware that my iPad has a Dynamic Island. Thanks Google! 000
