Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out.

My 2012 AirPort Expresses retain a more consistent AirPlay 2 connection without the music cutting out than my 2 HomePods from 2021 still getting software updates. Make it make sense.

You know what’s the operating system that really brings more focus to content without sacrificing good UI?

NewtonOS.

Spotify has been criticised for so many things in recent times.

I, as a premium subscriber since late 2010, am simply baffled that after 15 years I still can’t see the list of musicians playing on any given album.

In this album Brad Mehldau isn’t the only performer.

We smart people(*) have to stick together, because idiots will always outnumber us.

Underrated comment.

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 9d

I will watch this later this evening. I'm very curious about the subject. And I'm glad you're still posting!

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 9d

That’s why I haven’t been saying much here, either.

I love rain. After months of hot temperatures and sunny days, I was glad it mostly rained for the past week or so. I don’t even mind spending time indoors, usually. But somehow this time I couldn’t focus and couldn’t read or write much. Mood was mostly melancholic for no real reason.

First revision.

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 16d

I have that. It still works!

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 16d

Does it matter? 😄

If you are into electronic music and modular synths, you should check out Hélène Vogelsinger’s music: www.youtube.com/@HeleneVogel...

Her ongoing series, “Forgotten Futures”, is just mesmerising.

Today was titled: “Going out and about with a revived iPod shuffle made me giddy like it was 2006 again.”

I remember when technology gave us great products that were useful to us without having to know everything about us.

Today was titled: “Trying to find comfort in the little things, and the little things did nothing but irritate me further.”

Meanwhile, the other day a reader of my blog told me something that’s happening at the company they work for. After laying 15 people off to replace them with ‘AI’ tools managed by some of the remaining workforce, they are now re-hiring. Hmmm. I wonder what went wrong… 😉

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 20d

I’ve started noticing that one every two/three ads on YouTube is now about ‘AI’. Pushing a product or service, telling viewers stuff like “It’s important to know AI for your job” etc. Goodness, the industry is really getting desperate.

I keep reporting these ads as spam. *smirk*

But the problem is, if the battery life of a new iPhone Air is similar to the one of a 3-4-year-old iPhone *now*, how’s it going to be 2 or 3 years from now? You guessed right — bad.

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 23d

Just one note. Speaking of the Air’s battery, Dave compares it with the likely battery life of older iPhones, saying that if you’re upgrading from an older model, you’ll find the Air’s battery life to be okay.

“The novelty of the thinness of this phone wears off pretty quickly. I'm wrapping up week 2 and it's still like, every time I pick it up I'm like, this is super-thin! This is awesome! But I don't feel like my life has changed all that much going from a very thin phone to an extremely thin phone.”

Riccardo Mori @morrick.bsky.social · 23d

Maybe my favourite, concise review of the iPhone Air from a big YouTuber. Dave is always very practical and honest in pointing out certain things:

Gotta love the very believable email notification from APP1E.COM that my “i-cloud” account is blocked and that I have to click here to magically reactivate it.

(Message sent to my iCloud email, by the way, how’s that possible!?! 😄)

YouTube always thanks me for leaving feedback that makes “the YouTube experience better”.

Do you know what would make YouTube's experience better? Not taking down creators’ videos by mistake (thanks to stupid moderation bots) and doubling down on your wrong decision

YouTube just removed a video I spent 4 months making, I need your help
