How many Mac SuSuStudios can you connect in a 4 way AI orgy? And the answer is indeed 4, but but the cable budget is expensive.

Shit.Well I guess we could buy a house on credit. Small one. The new Amex cards are not as … heavy as the Apple one … (but you're supposed to leave it at home maybe)

That’s wild — I guess Amex cancelled an old card and opened a new card in my name and didn’t tell me about it. And When I asked them they said they didn’t know. I was like eh fuck okay Let’s have a AppleCreditCard. … and they just mailed me the new one.

Has anyone noticed that as of MacOS 27 WaterGate, the automatic *grammar* checker is more persnickety than my late departed grandmother? Maybe I should find a way to turn it off. I am intentional in my lousy grammar! RIP, gramma

one of my cards is out of control with the credit limits and I won't even say.

Paul McGrane @pmcgrane.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

But my good-er card still works. And I opened up Apple Wallet and applied for them Apple Card shits. It worked, but kind of a low credit limit. But hey I wanted a tertiary backup! And I’m thinking of buying a refurb M4 IPad Air within a month, and that might be lucrative …

Jezum crêpes I learned that Amex unilaterally discontinued one of my 2 credit cards yesterday because it’s an “old product”. 😤 (some supervisor will call me tomorrow and tell me to weigh my pockets with rocks & go downhill)

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Meanwhile, the only refugees the US is accepting these days are white people from South Africa, just in case the white nationalist logic behind this administration’s actions regarding immigration wasn’t already self-evident. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

US accepts only white refugees for sixth consecutive month

The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.

Have you ever used a so-called "destination dispatch" elevator? You choose your floor in the elevator's lobby and the computer tells you which of, maybe 5 elevators is going your way. I've seen it a few times in very tall buildings. I bet that lets you undo.

Holy Moly. Has anybody noticed iCloud Private Relay is *not* locating you near where you live? My ISP recently drastically changed (simplified) their ipv6 network to CGNAT and now Safari thinks I live in Denver or Phoenix. (that's where fastly exit nodes are for my region, which is NC 🙄)

Okay. I am paying for AppleTV, but I am also paying for Mullvad, so I went over to my good Macintosh and pirated the fucking movie in about 2 minutes.

I harangued AppleCare for a while and they said essentially too-bad. Various movies can have various HDCP restrictions and since this screen is essentially adapted to plain DVI, get lost.

I have never seen AppleTV+ fuck around like this on the old Mac! (refuses to play a new movie)
