You’re telling me #Hulu decided it was still a good time to announce a price increase?!? My Hulu Premium + Live TV, Disney+ Premium, and ESPN Select plan would increase to $99.99/month on the first billing cycle on or after October 21, 2025…if I hadn’t #CancelledHulu! My plan ends October 2

I've suddenly had the urge, after being a #Hulu & #DisneyPlus subscriber since both services started, to cancel my bundle subscription.

Kept thinking the naysayers have been overly harsh on #iOS26 #LiquidGlass but then I saw the search box on the App Store's Search tab which I didn't even notice at first 🫩

Been a #paramountplus subscriber since it was CBS All Access because #StarTrek #Discovery launched. ❤️ #StrangeNewWorlds & might resubscribe when season 4 drops, but I've cancelled my annual subscription because of the bribe, #Colbert cancellation, & SNW only getting 1/2 a 5th season.

My family & I are U.S. citizens & went through customs in Newark (EWR) after a E.U. vacation. Border Patrol officer didn't request our devices, but we took precautions. On iOS, if you have Stolen Device Protection On, it's an hour delay for every change & iCloud sign out.

Trusted #Nintendo "pre-order from the Nintendo Store program" but here we are on the eve of the #Switch2 release and this email from May 16 is the last thing Nintendo sent.

#Disney messed up #StarWars again by only giving #EpisodeIII #RevengeOfTheSith a 1 week release. On a $25.5M domestic opening w/ 2-3x multiplier, could’ve banked $50-$75M+, > $100M WW. Plus, up against Sinners & Accountant 2 😱. One of the most memed movies of the last 20 years & made for the moment

Only the #Severance pop-up at #BellWorks could get me to drive to the office on a Sunday to let my #innie play! Thanks @benstiller.redhour.com and the #AppleTV+ team for a fun event

I've ordered coffee direct from Cafe Britt in Costa Rica for years. To prepare for the chaos, I placed a big order in January for $290.65. The same order today $333.02! #trumptaxes

Didn't think #Nintendo would let me register for a #Switch2 + #MarioKartWorld bundle for $499 after announcing a pause on pre-orders because of #TrumpTariffs causing price uncertainty, but here we are. Showing a price opens them up to class action lawsuits if they don't sell at that price, no? 🤔

I’m sorry, no Apple Pay, no sale. Many Shopify sites support it…

For the first time in years, I am not subscribed to anything on #Amazon. Don't know why I didn't think to do this earlier, but ordering what I was subscribed to direct from manufacturer or other distributor sites cost NOTHING more.

First thing I did trying #Claude 3.7 Sonnet was ask if there was a macOS app. I got a "IDK" answer which is perplexing b/c:

1) Pretty sure there was (yes https://claude.ai/download).
2) Search engines have answered questions like this for 20 years.

Wonder when it will get web access to close the g

When AC⚡️DC might rock on tour for the last time & U.S. dates and locations don’t line up, you do what any sane person does and buy 🎟️ for Berlin! Imagine the surprise when they are actual losable paper tickets 😱 🤘🏻 🎸 Any mutuals going? @travelbymarisa.bsky.social

Why doesn't #ChatGPT have a family plan? My son uses it in college for $20 / month. Their "Business" account starts at $25 / month…billed annually. Move forward & it gets worse. That's $25 per user w/ 2 user minimum for a total of $600. You can still choose monthly billing for $30 pp.

#Google caught onto the 1 ⭐️ reviews bombing the #GulfOfMexico and disabled it in Maps 😈. Fresh 1 ⭐️ reviews are now on the #AppStore for #AppleMaps & #GoogleMaps

Looks like #Apple disabled the ability to report something wrong with the name of the #GulfOfMexico

Curiously I don't see Migrate Purchases under my account 😮 #AppleAccount

#LeBron realizes he’s got a lot more work to do to get #Luka into #Lakers shape #NBA #LosAngeles. Part 2!

When #Luka gets to the #Lakers practice facility, #LeBron gonna pull an #ApolloCreed and get this boy into #Rocky shape #NBA #LosAngeles

😖 tried to play Baldur's Gate III grouped up with my boys using Mac Virtual Display. At first it was amazing, bigger than my Studio Display. After a few minutes though, the system just couldn't keep up. Game hung then crashed and this prompt was shown. I'll try again with local only game soon.

#DeepSeek terms on disseminating outputs are hilarious.
