You are going to make me humiliate myself but my only defense is GH is covering a good chunk of it.

Dyson sells eighty gazillion replacement parts online but the one I want I have to call for. Please don’t make me use the phone app of my phone.

A screenshot of a replacement bin for a dtson vacuum. It shows the part number but says “please call us as we don’t sell this part online”

For me it’s going to be digging through my own messages and email, etc. Old Siri would have totally whiffed this.

A Siri AI chat.

Me: What is the address of the restaurant Lena most recently texted me about
Siri: The restaurant Lena most recently texted you about is Cafe Zevian, located at 700 West Broad Street in Falls Church, Virginia. Would you like me to start navigation?

Ding ding ding. Batavia Illinois. The "give away" section was a little surprising.

A "heat map" of the US. Most the US is blue / yellow, with a red hotspot over Illinois, and some red around San Francisco.

Like this is still noticeably AI but better and was very low effort and free.

Seems fine? You just need to use Procmon64a.exe not Procmon64.exe.

Brutal pricing for the M5 Ultra with 256 GB of memory.

@ericlawrence.com you have made it in to my autocorrect.

Not quite Siri. It was an effort, but not a good one.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

Neat. Apple Home shows power consumption (assuming the device reports it)

A screenshot of the Apple Home app. It shows “string lights - on • 23W” and “GitHub Light - On • 14W”

I'm settling "Who is the worst driver in the DMV" debate once and for all.

The "Epic Handshake Three Way" meme. Three muscular arms come together to clasp hands. Each of the three arms have a picture of the Virginia, Maryland, and District of Columbia license plate. Where the hands come together is the "Diplomate" license plate.

It is very helpful to have a Siri that is actually… helpful.

A screenshot of conversation with Siri.

Me: where did I last order flowers from? What was the website?

Siri: you last ordered flowers from Helen Olivia flowers on April 29, 2026. The website used was shop.helenoliviaflowers.com.

TIL the iPhone has a very simplified user interface for folks that need extremely large buttons and straight forward UI. support.apple.com/guide/assist...

A picture of an iPhone with a Home Screen. The home screen is only eight very large tiles: Calls, Camera, Magnifier, Messages, Music, Photos, TV, Weather. On the right side of the picture is the same thing, but the icons are in a list format instead of tiles.

More Tailscale goodness - moved from OAuth tokens to OIDC in GitHub Actions. No more secrets.

Well, I guess I can't complain too much. That's a pretty quick turn around to fix an abuse misdetection.

Well, this is very disappointing. Google has disabled an account of mine for no reason whatsoever. What are the odds an appeal is actually going to work?

@theverge.com hey all! I am getting this “let’s keep it going” dialog multiple times per day. Is this a bug? If not can the “no thanks” persist at least a week? I’m a paying subscriber and signed in, FWIW.

Not sure what to make of this package I got from Amazon.
