Still not clear if it will only rain or if we will get heavy and abundant snow. Weather forecast is predicting only rain. I’m ok with this. This winter has been so warm so far, that’s incredible.

Apple has hired away an advertising executive from NBCUniversal, as it continues to build out its rumored video ad business for Apple TV+.
That is not a good sign. Is this another example of enshitification? Man, I wish Apple won’t go in that direction.

When my sons got old enough, I offered them their first email address on Gmail. That made them happy. They didn’t have an iPhone to use it but they could sit down in front of a computer and start writing emails. I wonder if I came up with an empty but ready-to-use blog if they would react the same?

Isn’t it strange that looking at the Apple Vision Pro today I find it’s look somewhat outdated. Already. Should I say “retro”? Is this design really iconic? 🤔

I wanted to push my iPad Pro article today, to beat Apple, in case they decided to release new iPad Pro today. 😅

What if EU tells Apple: “you’re changes in iOS 17.4 aren’t enough or wrong”, what then?

I don’t want to wait next week for the new iPad Pro announcement. I want it TODAY! I need some Apple excitement in my digital life.

Photo-editing on the iPad using Photomator is such a joy. I can’t wait to go with the upcoming iPad Pro. The iPad is the perfect devide for photo-editing with the Apple Pencil. With the switch to the OLED technology, it will be even better.

What would be the best or the most suitable Micro.blog visual theme for a travel journal type of blog? Outpost? I find it drab. Maybe Typewriter? Currently testing the latter on numericcitizen-test.micro.blog.

The M2 13-inch MacBook Air stays in the lineup for 999 US$. The multiplication of price points continues. 🤪
