Slowly looking for a replacement for my aging AirPort Extreme router. For me, the physical look is as important as well as the application to manage it. Ubiquity looks really nice, very Apple’ish. App review not too bad but not exceptional either. Still confused for what to do.
One thing for sure: not going the Google way or the Amazon (eero) way.
It’s so sad that Apple exited this market… 😞 only to enter the « smart speaker »… 🤦🏻♂️
Oh, one interesting update today on the App Store: Notion now free and a new personal pro tier introduced on which I’ll be upgraded. Cool. Many other new things included in this update, like 2x speed increase for app launch. 👀

Death is an everyday subject these days. How is Apple helping people in dealing with people's death? For example, what happens to Apple's Family Sharing if the family organizer passed away? If you use iTunes Family Sharing, special attention must be paid to the « Family Organizer » role. If he or she dies, there is no way to give this role to another member of the iTunes Family.

One of the thing that will get my attention about Apple in the coming months and years: how the coronavirus will impact features and designs of Apple’s products, both in hardware and software.
The obvious example is the FaceTime camera on Mac computers. The second obvious example is FaceTime application in general, not to compete against Zoom or others, but to make it more useful and bringing more value to human visual communications.
Very telling chart of past disruptions in the photography world. I don't want to look too nostalgic but seeing how fast the smartphone is taking over the photography world is a bit sad. 
There is something different about my beloved photo sharing service, Unsplash. I'm not sure if it's for the better. It's hard for me to put a finger on it but there is something different. 
Great post. My sister is a nurse working with seniors. She got COVID-19. She ok now. But she knows how bad the situation is. We're not done yet, ladies and gentlemen.
