Tech pundits: iPhone Duo is too expensive, and ugly, and full of compromises, and not at all useful, and nobody is going to buy it. Apple: Sells out the first batch in seconds. 🙂

Also, Elisa account settings: “YOU DON’T HAVE 2-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ON, SET IT SO WE WILL SEND A CONFIRMATION SMS EVERY TIME YOU LOG IN” Which … well 1) SMS 2FA authentication, really, in 2026? 2) And, by the way, every time I log in, you already send me a confirmation SMS before letting me […]

Overheard at the book fair: a teenager calling her parents from a bookstore, asking if they could send her some more money. Warms one’s heart. : )

“Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket”—this is good advice for many things. (Not good at following it but I’m trying: finally deleted some 30-odd gigs of unlistened-to podcast episodes before migrating to a new phone.) www.oliverburkeman.com/river

So many companies have a chat on their site as the feedback mechanism nowadays, with a disclaimer of “we usually answer within a few hours.” They don’t seem to understand what a “chat” is supposed to be. Also, they rarely seem to answer within a few hours.

Thinking that it might be cool to learn to play the lute Internet: the lute is significantly more difficult to play than e.g. the guitar. Also, they cost 3000 euros. Oh… Probably not all that cool after all

RE: nileane.fr/@nileane/117121655506169… MacStories and AppStories went from being among my tech podcast favorites to just plain boring “all AI hype all the time” quite a while ago so I guess this is just natural progression.
