@WarnerCrocker I only listened to the first season of Serial, and I used to listen to This American Life, but not via podcast. I’ve heard of one or two of the others, but that’s it.

@WarnerCrocker @dmoren I suspect he green lights anything that will make him some money.

@WarnerCrocker Exactly. You cannot say you have the "best" products, without actually caring about software quality, and features. The Apple Watch will not be the "best" health watch without a working blood oxygen sensor. But, that may just me being irritated about Apple not realizing this.

@WarnerCrocker I completely understand that not every single bug can be fixed, but when there are basic usability bugs that aren’t fixed, it’s disconcerting. My list:

1. “Now Playing" complication on watchOS. It doesn't do anything, and hasn't since watchOS 11 b1.

2: Apple TV and how it doesn't actually switch from “Movies" to "TV Shows" (or vice versa) until I switch a second time.

3: "Movies" and “TV Shows" still appear in iTunes on iOS and you cannot remove them. They're useless.

@WarnerCrocker I almost never use a “sign in with third party service”, because it’s so easy for services to go away.

I think the only one I have is one for an app with Apple, that’s it.

@jonnyevans @flargh I’m one of them. I ordered appliances. I didn’t NEED two of them, but the third I did. Better to replace it now.

@caseyliss was the line “once I saw the plans, I knew”’ in last night’s ATP a reference to “Hunt for the Red October”?

@caseyliss and neither of the other two even acknowledged the reference.

@Gargron I was just thinking about how long I’ve been creating webpages (although I wasn’t good at all in the beginning). Suffice to say, it’s been a long time. I still remember the early days myself. A long time ago; but also seems like yesterday.

@chartier “you’re trying to make a valid point, would you like me to rewrite it in a more professional way?”

@bbusschots I've been spending a lot more time thinking about the parallels between now and 1930s Germany. I recently re-watched the documentary series “U.S. and the Holocaust" by Ken Burns. It was not a good time, and I think we are headed back there very quickly. It will be a significant regression.

A Review of the Apple Watch Series 10

I ordered a new Apple Watch Series 10. Here are my thoughts on the device as compared it to my previous Apple Watch Series 9. Some items covered include physical aspects, color, and the speaker.

@georgetakei to quote the musical Queen Taylor Swift, “Haters, gonna hate hate hate”.

@georgetakei it falls into the “do as I say, not as I do” bucket of GOP hypocrisy.

@Gargron congratulations!

@davidgerard how long before someone forks “Go” into a language that is the exact same except strips the telemetry out. Naturally, the name would have to be either “Stop” or “Caution”.
