#Olympics on #Peacock hit different when you're getting a medical degree from the ad breaks. Do I have restless leg syndrome? I do now.

Seriously, though ... there are so many pharmaceutical ads. Way too many in my humble opinion.

This week's premium newsletter: I published the first of a four-part Drafts automation series, called for a Maryland senator's resignation over Exelon's bill, and investigated Safari's iPad identity fraud. .

Safari 26.3 dropped today. Bug fixes, new compression, and nothing addressing the fact that your iPad tells every website it's an Intel Mac from 2019.

iPadOS Safari isn't macOS Safari. It's mobile Safari in a desktop costume.

Exelon has 34 lobbyists, spent $925K lobbying, ran Super Bowl ads - and couldn't find one senator to introduce their bill.

Then Kevin Harris, in office 60 days, volunteered as the lone sponsor. He admitted he doesn't know if it's good policy.

I'm done. I will never use or recommend #AppleCard again. If a company won't return money you accidentally overpaid, they don't deserve your business. Learn from my mistake
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
I know #applecard is transitioning from Goldman Sachs to Chase soon. Doesn't matter. The experience has shown me everything I need to know. No cancellation safeguards, no customer-first resolution, no accountability.
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
Let me be clear: I don't owe them this money. It was an overpayment on my own account. And they decided to just… keep it.
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
Day 9: I get an email. Apple Card/Goldman Sachs has denied my refund request. They're keeping my overpayment. My own money, sent by mistake, and they won't return
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
So I contacted #applecard support (Goldman Sachs) within minutes of realizing my error. They said they'd file a request and it would take 8–10 business days. Fine. I waited.
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
No big deal, right? I'll just cancel the duplicate. Except — Apple Card has NO option to cancel a pending payment. Zero. Something most banks let you do without a second thought.
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
My scheduled @apple Card payment hadn't posted yet one morning, so I manually sent a payment for the same amount thinking something was wrong. Minutes later, the scheduled payment went through too. Double payment.
February 9, 2026 at 8:56 PM
Warning to all #AppleCard holders: If you accidentally overpay your bill, there is no way to cancel it — and they will refuse to refund you. Here's my experience. #AppleSupport #Goldmansachs #Apple #ConsumerRights

New article: The "follow your passion" narrative is really a story about who can afford to try. Family money, startup spouses, safety nets. The infrastructure behind the beanie guy making artisanal jeans.

iPadOS 26 killed the Command-hold shortcut overlay. In its place: a real menu bar with Globe + M. Here are the keyboard shortcuts that actually matter now, from window tiling to the basics.
