I go into the weekend through the #aleague corridor of uncertainty #wearesydney #sydneyisskyblue @sydneyfc.bsky.social

OK, a bad start for me last week in #aleague tipping with 1/6. I feel a 6/6 is coming on this week. #WEARESYDNEY #SYDNEYISSKYBLUE @sydneyfc.bsky.social @aleague.bsky.social

Really Facebook? Why? #Messenger works just fine. So we finally get Instagram on the iPad, and now you taketh away for Apple users. Booooooo.

Hey Tim Cook, how about putting #LaunchPad back on #Mac!

LaunchPad on #MacOS has been a part of my daily workflow for over a decade, but was taken away in macOS 26 and replaced with “Apps”. But it does a different task.

I agree with @macworld.com - www.macworld.com/article/2935...

I might be late to the party here, but I was scrolling through my #CarPlay screens this week and found the @nytimes.com logo. It's for their audio. And in their audio, they have a few more things, like Reporter Reads, than you get in the Apple Podcasts app as a subscriber. Nice!

I haven’t traveled much recently but on Friday took off and the plane went over my little hometown of Bellingen. I recalled the cities I’ve peered out the window at: Sao Paolo 22m, Beijing 20m, Tokyo 38m, Shanghai 26m and NY 19m. And here’s little old Bello with 3k people. I’m good with that.

A few weeks ago, I posted about UGreen’s Find My tags. The wallet one also works well in a glasses case.

I left my radio txing running overnight on #WSPR and geeked-out this morning seeing it had been heard with only ten watts in Antarctica! DPØGVN is a club station located at the German Antarctic Research Station "Neumayer III" in Dronning Maud Land. www.qrz.com/db/DP0GVN

Sometimes, the world can be a lonely place.
Sometimes, it's nice to know you're not alone.

Thankyou @nytimes.com @nytwirecutter.bsky.social

I am absolutely amazed at #WSPR. This is on 10 watts from a vertical in a valley on the east coast of Australia during daylight hours. #hamradio #amateurradio blows me away. #vk

Have you done this… I had two #Apple ID - one for #iCloud and the other for media and apps on #iPhone and #iPad. I migrated the secondary account into my main iCloud account. 15 years of frustration ends! #mac

My #Mac and #Icom #IC7300 are having a lot of fun today. #hamradio 15 metres from AUS to Asia and USA is pretty good on #FT8

I heard this tip the other day. Put your AirPods in upside down and swap the ears. They keep noise out and don’t fall out. And it works! Thanks MacGeekgab @davehamilton.com
