While Microsoft was busy trying to build a clone of Slack (MS Teams), they forgot to pay attention to Skype. Having a personal and business edition after all these years makes no sense. But I wouldn’t count Microsoft out yet.
I’m trying something new. It is always a good idea to cut the noise when looking at the news these days. To help me achieve that, I subscribed to 1 year of @mailbrew service. Here is the fruit of this new beginning. app.mailbrew.com/apple_obs…
I used to be a big fan of OmniFocus from The OmniGroup. After having transited to Things when version 3.0 came out, I’m now, I’m back with Apple’s Reminders. For my business need, I now only use OmniGraffle in order to do technical diagrams. My hope is that layoffs doesn’t affect too much this app’s future on which I depend.

We are in a constant state of crisis. One crisis after the other. Is this the new normal? There are so many things that I find revolting right now in the US. It started a few years ago, in 2016. The following twitter thread calling the NYT to do its most basic job is so spot on. Yet, they fail again and again. Just listen to press conferences, one after the other. It is disgusting.
I’m sorry if in recent days I’m calling out more things about politics, The Clown in Chief and the US. I should be writing about Apple, photography my dear passions. This is a special time. It requires a special reaction I guess. I just want to return to some form of normality, acceptability. I guess we have to be patient.

As a weather enthusiast, Apple buying Dark Sky is a very good news for at least two reasons. First, the Dark Sky app is not available in Canada.

Now Apple will better understand how their software can be frustrating as hell…

The root cause of why I’m so angry at the The Clown in Chief 🤡 and the whole political class in the US. They don’t care about humans except themselves.

Some questions that come up in my mind during this pandemic crisis:
The last time an Apple operating system went through a redesig, iOS for that matter (iOS 6 -> iOS 7), it didn’t go well. We still pay the price of this today.
“The Verifier also outlines some of the features coming to watchOS 7, many of which we’ve heard before. watchOS 7 will allegedly include a “fresh design,” updates to built-in apps, and improvements to Siri, with little other information included.” - MacRumors
If FaceID comes on the Mac and a by-product is to get a better FaceTime camera, then, I’m all in. A notch for the iMac is stupid and unecessary though. #apple #faceid #mac #rumours appleinsider.com/articles/…
