“StackOverflow, what’s your emergency?”
*gasp* “Help I can’t breathe!”
“Why would you breathe by gasping? Hasn’t anyone taught you that there are better ways to do that?”

I’m a pretty clumsy person, which means I drop things fairly often. Ironically, this gives me lots of practice catching falling objects
So now, fairly often, I drop something and then catch it before it hits the ground. Which makes me look like some kind of ninja

Just heard an ad for T-Mobile that said you could switch to T-Mobile on your phone in just 15 minutes, and I guess with eSIMs you really can just do that. At home. That’s wild to me

Whoa this is crazy. Guess now’s as good a time as any to flash my Roomba and make it local only, been wanting to try that anyway https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/115721363297365912
iRobot apparently just declared bankruptcy, so if you have an internet connected one and want to retain control if the cloud platform vanishes, take a look at https://github.com/koalazak/dorita980#how-to-get-your-usernameblid-and-password and stash that information somewhere safe (and note that it changes if you ever factory reset the device, so try not to do that)

@imdavidpierce I am listening to your State of the Workflow episode, and I agree that Siri’s integration with Apple Reminders makes it basically a must use.
May I recommend GoodTask? It’s a great app that uses Apple reminders as a back end, so you get all the benefits and don’t have to use […]
