I’m active on this platform because I felt that the other one had no sense of respect for basic privacy. Now I see this one has no sense of respect for basic decency. My account only exists to allow this post to be seen and retweeted by my followers. #DeleteTwitter

@LeaVerou @UberEats On iOS there’s a “focus” feature that can limit this kind of annoyance. Never used it myself but looks like you can block certain apps from sending notifications while allowing rule based exceptions (eg, time based or location based).

This is so annoying. I need to allow @UberEats to send notifications so I can get updated about my order the 1-2 times a month we use it. This means I get this kind of spam nonstop for the entire month with no recourse 😒

@MorganGodvin Oh, Man In the High Castle. Alternate history drama, but Germany wins WW2. Last tip: I choose by which series has the most seasons. a) if it’s still running it means I wait less for the next season b) it lasts a while c) fewer flash in the pan shows that get canceled in season 1

I need a new show to watch. Send recommendations with an elevator pitch because you know I get easily overwhelmed by options.

@MorganGodvin Wheel of Time: If the wizards in Harry Potter had useful magic and men were forbidden to use magic. Longmire: Sherrif in a remote county struggles with local crime, drugs and corruption Wait. Did you say you get overwhelmed by options? :)

@MorganGodvin Outlander: Woman gets mystically transported centuries back to scotland. Romance and violence. Justified: Marshal with a bad reputation goes back home to deal with drugs and gun runners. Schitts Creek: Must watch- funny and endearing. Lupin: French African boy solves family crime

@MorganGodvin The Orville. Funny but thoughtful version of Star Trek by Seth McFarlane. Peaky Blinders. Violent interwar period drama about london gangs. See. Post apocalyptic world where most have lost sight and those with sight are persecuted. Murders in the building. Short + Martin = funny

@EricCMack your article on Artemis was informative, thank you. However, one point about the G3 processor you made was a little off point. It’s not an indicator of slow timing. See this article by @verge: theverge.com/tldr/2021/3/2/…

@PdNewcastle Siri can also do stuff like “call my wife/husband” and “read my call log”, but you could need the passcode for those if they locked their device or it lost power.

Anyone lose an iPhone here in Newcastle? Message us with a description (color, model etc) and you can have it back.

@PdNewcastle If they sync photos to their other devices the pic will show up in their stream. Final option is to contact the carrier after popping out the SIM card, and see if they can contact the customer through alternate means.

@PdNewcastle A few tips to @PdNewcastle. Consider charging the phone so find my phone works for the user. Use the phrase “hey siri who owns this phone?”, or “what’s my email address” or “what’s my twitter handle?” Take a picture of a piece of paper that says “your phone was found by NPD”….

@MorganGodvin Number of people landed on the moon per capita.

What is a metric on which the US outperforms other nations and that is an *actual* good thing? Do not say billionaires per capita.

The day Twitter launches auto play for incoming tweets, we’ll see an Internet outage due to “Hey Siri send a tweet saying Hey Siri read my most recent tweet.” Hilarity ensues when a few pranksters + iPhone critical mass + 7 degrees of separation spews trillions of global tweets.

Also on YouTube if you prefer a non “Meta” source. youtu.be/IW0Wq-t4kSQ

Human potential is not a zero sum game. Someone doesn’t have to lose for someone else to win. 
We are all enriched when we all reach our peak potential. Imagine if Salk, Newton or Curie were born in regressive states like DPRK? If Turing could’ve been supported and thrived?

@MtBakerVin wow, sorry to hear you’re closed for a few years but your wine keeps on satisfying! Just opened a 1994 Merlot and it was FANTASTIC. I bought this when I was 22 and enjoyed it for my 20th anniversary tonight!
