The fight Apple is making against external payment options has me thinking about leaving iPhone. I’ve already offloaded most of my dependence on iCloud. My main hang up is iCloud Photos. But maybe PhotoSync is an option.

‘You broke our terms of service, so so please make a new account with us’ makes it clear how ridiculous Apple is being.

I am loving Forget the Alamo, @BryanBurrough. Moved to TX in 7th grade and state history was weird, man. This makes the real story accessible. (And I’m expanding my vocab!)

In court, Apple insists that the iPhone and iPad are like game consoles: locked down and limited, not designed to be primary computers.

Apple marketing would have you think they “get” music. And then you use Apple Music. Why is Play Next the default swipe action? Who’s building a reverse queue?

Really liking Jibun Techo Biz. A5 is a tight fit in the Bellroy Sling; B6 might be a better size. Started using Muji .38 gel again because of its small spaces; Pilot V5 line is a tad thick.
