GTA VI here I come!
I have never seen this type of forecast for Warsaw. What the hell.
iOS notifications were designed by someone who clearly never used notifications for anything useful.
There was something wrong with my YouTube Music account. It wasn’t working properly with Sonos because I had a channel. I’m too old for this so my agent moved my playlists and subscriptions to the main account then nuked what’s left.
This also nuked my Watch Later playlist which had about 280 movies on it. Let’s be honest that it wasn’t happening and the clean slate is actually a good idea.
I’m not listening to that much music anymore, so we dropped Spotify. YouTube Music is already in our YouTube Premium sub, so me and wifey just moved there. And I have to say, because I listen to LOTS of mixes on YouTube, the recommendation mechanism is spot on. Much better than Spotify! And when I really want to listen to something, I do have my iPod with my whole ass music library on it.
Pixel 10 Pro in the household
My wifey just got herself a Pixel 10 Pro and holy shit, this is the first non-Apple device in our house that genuinely feels Apple-level. Hardware AND software.
Now I’m crossing fingers the next Pixel Fold lands in Poland via official channels so I can snatch one, but until then, OnePlus 13 stays in my pocket. Still a beast of a phone.
My iPhone 14 Plus already feels left behind
I’ve been using an iPhone 14 Plus as my dev and testing device lately, and the thing is kind of funny. It’s a perfectly good phone. Three years old, not ancient by any measure. But you can really see how far Apple has let it drift behind on anything modern.
Siri is still dumb. I can’t customize anything. For a three-year-old phone it somehow feels like something from 20 years ago, and that hits even harder coming from Android, where I can swap out the assistant, pick which one actually runs, and have Gemini do agentic stuff for me (soon!). The phone does things on my behalf. The iPhone? None of that. It all just passes it by.
And it’s not like it’s a bad phone. I could drop a SIM in it tomorrow and daily-drive it without thinking twice. But ever since I switched to Android, a lot of the iOS stuff just quietly annoys me now.
I made an app for Android. If you use fastmail – check it out. You can create/delete/manage masked emails from the app!
got wifey on the other side of the fence and now we are here
sunday
It took me… 20 years.
