Testing tech between work calls and dad duty.
No scripts. No hype. Just stuff that actually works.

So this happened while on a 7 hour trip. I did make it to my destination thanks to my wife's phone still working. I reset my network settings and now my phone is working just fine.
Verizon’s ‘software issue’ has disconnected many wireless customers across the US

My son: Bird
My wife: that’s a bat
My son: no
Me: I think your mom is right son
My son: no
Me: three decades on this planet and a two year clearly knows more than us. What a waste

Kids are hilarious.

My son told me this morning after hugging me that he was happy, and my phone almost got water damage from the tears streaming from my eyes. #random #parenthood #fatherhood

Because I don't have $2000 for a new Z Fold 7 I went ahead and grabbed the CMF Watch Pro 3 to review. That's completely comparable right 😂

I learned yesterday that Apple Pencils can permanently die if left discharged for too long. Its called deep discharge and it is an unfortunate lesson to learn after purchasing a new iPad.

Well the package finally arrived. I’m actually surprised

After updating to iOS 26 RCS was stuck activating. I realized something was odd when I didn’t hear back from my Aunt for a couple of days. The messages never came through. I just toggled RCS off and back on to fix it. I haven’t seen anyone else mention this although I may have missed it.

Random update:
The package is back in Louisville…

Ordered a pair of RayNeo XR glasses. Tracking them has been wild. I live in IN.
- started in Cali
- made it to Chicago
- made to Louisville, KY which is 20 mins from where I live.
- then to… Kansas City, KS. 🤔
- then Kansas City, MO
-then Indianapolis
This package is well traveled.

Okay this Liquid Glass revamp in #iOS26 is pretty to look at, but has some needed tweaks. Readability, while not a problem for me, could be a huge issue for those with vision problems or older users. I was also hoping it’d feel more substantial. It’s pretty though.

iPadOS 26 is legit tempting me to buy another iPad.

With iPadOS 26 the iPad is basically a Touchscreen Mac now. It only took forever.

So iOS 26 has a couple of new features like Hold Assist and the Visual Intelligence upgrade that have me kinda excited. They both feel familiar for some reason…

I was really hoping Android 16 would wow me more. I like what’s there but it doesn’t feel as Earth shattering in my opinion. I feel like I’m one of the few people who feel this way. Although this is just a beta, and it’ll surely improve.

Random thought: Disney Plus is trash. Not the service but its TV app. It consistently just doesn’t work. Maybe I’m just unlucky.

With WWDC a couple weeks away, I guess I’ll spend a little time with my iPhone before it gets a facelift.

I opened my #pixel9profold this morning and the inner screen remained black. Then I rebooted and it worked. 😮‍💨 Crisis averted. Running beta software can cause a heart attack.

The more I play around with the Android QPR 1, the more I can't wait for the iOS 19 beta

Magic Portrait is my favorite feature of the Android 16 QPR 1 beta so far. The new design of the software is nice, but this is fun.
