"Rare 4GB Original iPhone Expected to Fetch Up to $100K at Auction"

Had to read that twice. There was a 4GB OG iPhone? 😮

Apparently, they killed it quickly, overwhelming love for the 8GB model.

Seller was part of the original engineering team. Letter of provenance included.

Someone buy this for me, yeah? 😆

Wordle fan?

There’s a new @nytimes game in beta, called “Connections”. It’s a lot of fun, and very quick to play.

Give it a try...

"Moving data from iCloud may need to be made easier under upcoming EU law"

I am a fan of this move. I'm deep into the #Apple ecosystem, but I'd sleep easier knowing I could move if I decided to. 🙌🏻

The quick-change battery at the expensive of elegant, waterproof design, pocketability? Not so much. 🤔

Last remaining 3rd party #Reddit app:

"I am going to be adding subscriptions into Narwhal 2. The subscriptions will be there to cover the cost of using the Reddit API. I am still figuring out what to do for heavy power users, but there may be a base plan which includes X number of API requests/month and you can top up your balance with another purchase."

Kinda hate this. Pure cash grab on Reddit's part. 😐💰

Help @christianselig out by updating your app and declining the automatic refund. Because (IMO) Reddit screwed him.

Cheers Christian. Can’t wait to hear what you’ll do next.

SUCCESS!!! 🙌🏻

Went to the Apple Store last night, shared my AirPods Pro woes with the resident Genius™, walked out with brand new AirPods Pro.

Interestingly:

• 3 different SKUs: A left AirPod, right AirPod, and the case
• They would not link (blinking orange LED) until they sat in the charger for 30+ minutes. Apparently, that's to give the firmware time to update.

@davemark my long hold out for Twitter, the app Neptune, finally stopped accessing the API. It was good while it lasted. I guess now I'm off Twitter, with Reddit soon to follow. It's never felt so freeing 😂

Cleverest crossword puzzle clue I've ever heard of:

NetNewsWire has officially removed their Reddit API integration.

Apollo ending. Now this. How can this possibly be a win for #Reddit? 😡

Whelp, try as I might, 3 Twitter DM sessions with Apple Support trying to fix my AirPods Pro charging issues, biting the bullet.

I have an Apple store genius bar visit scheduled for tomorrow evening. Sure hope they can spot the problem.

Name an actor/actress with STRONG charisma, who would tempt you to watch something, even if it was not great.

Maybe Idris Elba? Helen Mirren? Keanu Reeves?

Now on T2. @davemark, of course.

So many social networks. There a way to:

• sync posts so I only post once, goes to Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, T2, Reddit, etc?

• Follow all the replies from all the socials in a single app? (Guessing API limits prevent that?)

Got an invite to the BlueSky beta. Here's a link to my home page...

https://bsky.app/profile/davemark.com

Have access? Give me a follow, yeah?

Just getting started, and it's a beta, so it's hard to comment.

But now we’ve got Twitter, BlueSky, Mastodon, T2. That’s a lot!
