@WarnerCrocker

Currently my Apple Watch and my iPhone are estranged due to software upgrades, I assume.

The first time I noticed Apple Pay on the watch wasn’t comunnicating with Apple Pay on the phone was the last time I used Apple Pay in the meat world on either actually. I liked running tabs on my spending. I did NOT like that it was keeping two sets of books.

Alarms aren’t propagating

Some of it is due to using airplane mode as a Do Not Disturb focus in places I don’t want phone rings.

@WarnerCrocker @flargh

Timers that float above the machines you loaded.

@WarnerCrocker I wonder if it’s still chewing on that huge photo collection, indexing it specifically for the new phone.

@WarnerCrocker it’s odd that it isn’t given a point upgrade.

Maybe iOS 18 was installed via the pizza box method, but with a special version of iOS 18 GC. Something a bit earlier than the self install subversion that went out over the web.

@WarnerCrocker A Friend held them and I attended and bought. There were nice designs you could only find through them.

Now I could drive to the container store, I guess.

I wonder if someone will buy their molds and manufacturing the way Walmart did with Rubbermaid.

I could imagine Target being interested.

It’s not a bad business if you have the retail network for customers.

@WarnerCrocker an iPad screen should have more room for ‘clarity’ on an OS Update.

@WarnerCrocker @macrumors

I was starting to wonder if it wasn’t showing what should be visible because I may have bumped up the default font size on my phone a notch.

And actually, that last stage of install seems more straightforward, may have improved. It used to go through some motions twice, and the ‘time to install’ after the first few mystery minutes of 20+ hours remaining, seemed more accurate.

Still, a hot mess.

@macrumors @WarnerCrocker

Sort of glad I didn’t get a g4 iPad pro as soon as I wanted to now.

@WarnerCrocker

Never less than two hours for me. Never!

Maybe if I took out the phone apps I never touched? I doubt it.

@reckless1280 @WarnerCrocker

Me update you LONG time!

@WarnerCrocker I have seen this and read it as do the one you like.
In case you aren’t ready for change.
But I have also, done the last security os17 dot update before commencing the os 18 upgrade.

@WarnerCrocker I prefer ‘update now, so I can catch if something goes wrong.’

I think the truth is, Apple would rather roll out the upgrades on their schedule, not yours, so as to control traffic jams, make life easier on their servers etc.

Saying ‘Tonight’ allows them to target the devices when they think you are sleeping, etc, not tooling around with the apps and bandwidth as it happens.

And that’s great if you live in a fast WiFi cloud, and trust their randomness.

@BethanyBlack @pabloniusmonk

Did they ever find Crosby Stills Nash and Young?

I reckon America was riding in the desert for some reason.

@w7voa @WarnerCrocker

And he has the golden ticket of immunity (or does he?) when he should be locked up where he can be less of a danger and nuisance. At this point he is going to focus on contesting elections and denying votes and being a general agent of chaos.

The USPS situation needs to be repaired somehow.

@WarnerCrocker

I think some of this is just some people realizing they could no longer ‘get away with it’ from either the regulation side or the consumer demand side.

@WarnerCrocker that’s been a very lucrative partnership with Cork for over three decades, otherwise. Helping both Ireland and Apple.

@WarnerCrocker @Gte

Last time I tried to order an Apple item, in the store, they said that configuration was ship to home only, not available to be shipped to store for pickup, prepaid or not.

@WarnerCrocker @NatashaMH @jeffjarvis

I used to have a small book of quotes that was nothing but the idioms pulled from Shakespeare, the Bible, and Don Quixote which gave me enough reason never to dismiss the bard outright. Or to even like him.

@WarnerCrocker I’m remembering when Gore lost a presidency via an eye roll, and a whole lot of cheating. A lot of effort is being spent portraying ‘both sides’ as equal, and some swing voters will see any denigration of ‘their guy, whom they take seriously’ as elitism.

It is difficult for sarcasm not to rise when the opponent is dropping three lies and two digressions with every breath.

@WarnerCrocker I think they have their own built in blocking software and blind spots.
