Asking Gemini and ChatGPT, both suggest to not do what this tech suggested.

Time to complete my move to Android. Apple is incompetent.

Just talked to Apple support about why my phone Home & Lock Screen is chewing thru battery. They now suggest to force close every app when not in use. That will save battery. I thought we were supposed to leave them all open?

A couple of moments that I don't like to put out there. I received an email from Apple Support about a call back (next post). It stated that I would get a callback at 7:15 CST. How are timezones that difficult to get right? We are in Daylight Saving Time. CDT....

Available now for only $9.99 now on Packt's site - Modern Network Observability. A great opportunity to get my book that I co-authored with David and Christian about the #observability pipelines using #opensource.

Gemini is improving and I am hearing that it is a pretty strong competitor now days.

I've been a fan of the idea of Google Glass for a long time now. I'm shocked at how long it has taken but it definitely seems like the tech has now evolved further. I'm not seeing many rumors from the Apple ecosystem.

The race in adopting AI components into the tech ecosystem is just accelerating at a breakneck pace. I'm hearing that there were several announcements with Google I/O that are just awesome and absolutely something that I can see adopting. Also seeing some things from MS Graph. Apple is lagging.

Getting things prepared for the trip to ONUG next week.

If at the event come by the NTC booth and say hi.

I am truly excited about what I have there. A set of posts likely coming. Need to sanitize a few things.

Letโ€™s get these things moving! It would be good to connect on how to complement each other!

How long is it going to take me to remember to use `-` for my list character rather than `*` while using Obsidian? I keep forgetting and the default for Obsidian is to assume that it will be an italic or bold fonted item. Still loving the choice!

I'm a person that iterates with my system a TON. I'm not sure what I can do to get myself to say that my system is working well and to stop messing with it. But I may be approaching that point. I started to put my calendar into an app window as an example. Why? I do fine getting to my mtgs already.

Just as I was about to build an airplane noise tracking system with MSP airport under construction it seems that the routes available have changed to lesson the noise. At least a much smaller number of planes are landing.

To the folks at MS Teams. When you create a calendar invite for Teams, the link that is most used should not be the 4th (or the 4th clickable) item. Please bring that up. And a location of MS Teams Meeting is not helpful. Maps do not know this.

There is just something about the water that attracts. That tends to be the case for myself as well, and on the golf course in the same fashion!

Reminder, that anywhere in the northern hemisphere that observes Daylight Saving Time is now observing it. EST should not be used for another 7 months or so.

Will probably be the same here. Just presented slightly differently

We could all really use good leadership and this book you get a lot of good inspiring methods for doing so. I'm looking forward to my yearly re-listen of books.

And really if you are picking it up for the first time maybe go with "The Dichotomy of Leadership" which is similar but a little less "extreme". The concepts are still very similar in the two and definitely a strong recommend for any field.

I think at some point I picked up a few book recommendations from the bird site, and I have been putting out a few. I'll over the course of a few days put out some posts and threads. First book up to look at that I'm looking forward to is Extreme Ownership.

I hope that I can figure it out. I am able to clear thru so much slack stuff just with the keyboard. Discord seems very much only mouse/mobile selection orientated.

NANOG decided to go that routeโ€ฆ

Then found that the unread word was just missing. Some weird keyboard combination, but this is where things are going.

And the answer is no.

Looks like another group on the Discord side of things. Time to go figure out how to be a power Discord user considering the last time I tried I failed miserably. If not, hopefully feature requests get looked at.

Definitely going to use the terminology "Premature Optimization" a lot more often @shannonbyrnes.bsky.social! It's very true. Too often.

I started at $35 and it was the family solution that I had didnโ€™t work well with DVR (plex pass). So family desires are winning out at the moment. She records local morning news and likes to start a little late.

YouTube TV is going to discount the service by $8 for subscribers to get Paramount+ on their own while the dispute is going on. Personally I would love to just leave it off. I am already on Paramount+.

I wonder if I can get the discount permanently.

Netflix says โ€˜Your device isnโ€™t part of the Netflix Household for this accountโ€™ If you get the message, "Your device isn't part of the Netflix Household for this account" use this article to fix the problem.

I have to check shortly what the link was. This one linked sounds much more accurate (100%) to what it should read. The links I am using off of that one all look good too. So I must have found something old.
