@anildash The Apple Music link for Sign O’ The Times no longer works. (Maybe because the 2020 remaster replaced it on Apple Music?)

@anildash Best, First, Favorite?

(What’s your pick for the “best” Prince album, the one new fans should listen to first, and your favorite Prince album?)

My wife’s FineWoven case has a pretty bad, er, case of the misaligned port cutout problem. She’s already had to return some USB-C cables to buy new ones with smaller connectors that will fit within the cutout.

Oxo’s long, slow decline continues.

Kudos to Apple for resisting the name EyeD.

iSight/EyeSight joins Macs/Max, iBook/iBooks, etc. in the pantheon of Apple name-siblings.

I just heard someone describe emacs as “a Linux program” which accelerated my process of crumbling to dust.

Everyone: Hey, it’s Adele at the Super Bowl!

Me and the people I follow: Eddy!
