Tim Cook: “Wow, what a great day of announcements!”

@samhenrigold is would watch that if it was offered as an immersive experience

I live in NYC and don’t plan to get a car any time soon. But sometimes I think about which car would align with my general vibe if I *had* to get one. And I’ve come to terms with it being a used 2019 Chevy Volt with, like, 30K miles on it.

ADDERALL HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS. JUST MAKE MORE. THIS IS NOT THE ECONOMY. JUST PRINT MORE ADDERALL. I SPENT 2 HOURS ON HOLD WITH VARIOUS PHARMACIES TO GET A SCRIPT REFILL. I CERTIFIABLY, MEDICALLY DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIS. thehill.com/policy/healthcare/

@samhenrigold I think if a company can't produce a necessary medicine in ample quantities to meet public demand, then they should lose their patent rights to the medicine.

forget the OTP autofill thing, QR code resolution in the image context menu is easily the best Mac system feature.

right clicking on a picture of a flyer reveals “Open QR code link in New Tab”

good lord why are 4GB modules for 2007 macbooks so expensive

3GB (a 2GB module and a 1GB module): $14.99
4GB (two 2GB modules): $16.99
6GB (a 4GB module and a 2GB module): $69.99

@samhenrigold this is where your local computer repair shop comes in clutch

Григорий Клюшников

when something is "for Mac", it's usually at least 2x more expensive, so look for some generic ones of the same specs

“i bet it’s just allergies” is the human version of “have you tried putting it in rice”

Григорий Клюшников

I mean for me it probably is, with the amount of things I'm allergic to... birch pollen, cats, bananas, yes, bananas

CVS supports passkeys and you can create one after you log in. but they don’t let you actually sign in with passkeys. so each time you have to do email, password, then two step with SMS. and then it asks you if you wanna use a passkey. which is a really cool UX.

@samhenrigold passkeys they’re just like passwords except if you lose your device you’re locked out forever 🤔

François de La Bruère

@samhenrigold I was curious and just added a passkey to my existing account with 2FA enabled and FWIW their website did let me sign back in without my password or 2FA. Mac Safari using 1Password for the passkey.

@arroz I found the System 7.5 CD in a huge binder of software CDs my dad had kept against all sanity - I told my mom to throw it all away, but I should have kept the Mac stuff.

Григорий Клюшников

Are these beta builds of classic Mac OS, or are they SDKs for them, or both?

Interesting so see how people presumably have left out the middle part. 😀

This is why chronological timelines are important.

Yeh I boosted them backwards.

Just to be difficult. Like a fussy cat.

good news: this database file in an Apple AI support framework contains localized relationship labels and aliases. And it now supports “man child”

A SQL viewer showing three matching english aliases for the same ID. male child, man-child, and son.
