Do you know what's keeping me glued onto my phone screen? Face ID that's what. Every other app I go into, Face ID. Every transaction I do, Face ID. To authenticate apps on my Mac, yup, you've guessed it, Face ID.

Using MacOS Stage Manager is clunky… and weird. Is there a good resource somewhere that can teach me how to use this effectively?

Ordered a new shaving brush and it comes with a neat beard rake! Hilarious.

Swapped out the Ring for a eufy system. Much better! When the 30-day free trial ended for Ring, it became functionally hamstrung. I had even asked Ring to remove the free trial so I can test without it, and they said no. Shady.

I’d be all for it, however the lying or embellishing the facts doesn’t do it for me.

Emails sucks to the point where my true 'Inbox' is the 'Junk Mail' folder.

As a deaf person it’s fascinating there’s even a sound! My kids tells me to stop pressing it multiple times as it’d say “wait, wait, wait, wait” 🤣
