I don’t even need an iPad mini. But now I want one. I think I have been influenced.

I have owned every version of the iPad Mini and would do it again. I was real sad when there were no updates for a couple years and it looked like they were going to discontinue it entirely!

I ❤️ podcasters who nail the guest relationship for mutual success.

Pre-recording expectations. Post-recording info so guests can share in the best ways.

In related news, @buildcuriosity is really good at it.

Agreed! I had a similar experience with @changelog!

"You've been upgraded to iCloud+ for free" is an email that everyone who upgrades to #iOS15 will receive.

One of these is not like the other.

https://www.apple.com/icloud/

#HomeKit #Privacy

I just got that email and I haven't updated any devices to iOS 15 yet unless something is set to auto update. But also there's no mention of how long this "free" lasts so I am skeptical.

@aaronpk I’ve got a vegetarian friend visiting Portland and they’re looking for lunch recommendations. Any tips?

There's too many options to give a recommendation without more criteria! But I'd also suggest looking up places on Happy Cow, there should be some good tips there!

I’m sorry for the delay in responding to your email address so I can send you the info I sent you to send me.

Oh that’s gold.

I’m sorry for being a part of the group chat with you but I think it’s weird to have internet.

Let me take a stab: you were thinking that whole foods was a relatively decent, liberal company that would somehow remain independent of the evil Amazon behemoth.

I mean, I literally said "I fully expected this to happen at some point" in the tweet 🤷

My in-store Whole Foods purchases are now showing up in my Amazon order history page and while I fully expected this to happen at some point I am just not sure how I feel about it now

Right now they only show up for search terms matching items in the order. I can't find an actual list of all the purchases anywhere.

Also they show up with "Gift Card" as the payment method for some reason.

NAB just got cancelled. You know what that means. I can pretend I was really definitely for sure going to go and it's not my fault I can't now.

Same. I had actually booked flight and hotel but wasn't ever really convinced it was going to happen. It was all free cancellation tho.

We should call them on the variable offers. They quoted me $20 more, probably based on subscriber numbers. I wonder what Casey Neistat was offered… Probably $500 bucks

Okay but now I'm feeling left out that I didn't even get an offer for $100

Take a look - here's ~3,000 points from a run I did a few years ago as a CSV https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2021/workout_points.csv

That's excellent resolution! I don't suppose there's any way to get the data out of the watch/phone without some sort of manual effort?

My main usage of it is as a GPS logger that I have total control over - I start an "outdoor walk" any time I'm out somewhere interesting and export the GPS points from the iPhone Health app later - 2.5m points and counting!

What kind of resolution does that give you? I've still been running my iOS app for years because it's the only thing I've found that can track continuously and also give me 1 second resolution during transit

I told my kids about the high frequency sound they used to play outside Block E to keep teenagers away, and we went and looked up what it sounds like.

My 20 year old and I couldn't hear it. My 14 year old was like OW IT HURTS TURN IT OFF 😳
