I never realized how bad Apple Time Machine was. I switched to arq (MacOS machines) and restic (Linux machines) over the weekend. It is a MASSIVE speed improvement.

I can also shutdown SMB on the NAS and use sftp to use them. An improvement on all fronts.

The Roots backing Eddie Vedder at the SNL50 concert last night were amazing. Loved it.

I needed to finish up a whitepaper outside of work. At the end I thought I'd use AI to write the closing paragraph. I spent 15min going through Apple and Google help pages, gave up, and pasted it into ChatGPT to get it done. I know Google is incompetent at UX, but Apple, UX is your thing. Fix it.
