Ringing in the Christmas Season

love the wet look you gave her here. The shine adds a lot to this shot

It's out! The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro series, which (finally) brings LTE connectivity, but also two-way satellite messaging, and even MicroLED displays. I dig into how all the features work, from the cellular bits to the satellite bits, and plenty more: www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/09/garm...

Garmin fenix 8 Pro MicroLED | Premium Sports Smartwatch | 51mm fēnix 8 Pro MicroLED is a premium multisport smartwatch and is the brightest smartwatch ever made, plus includes satellite and cellular connectivity.

Very unlikely I'll be buying a nearly $3000 running watch. But sure can't wait to read @dcrainmaker.com 's review on it www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/1723...

Ah, I get the "flesh-toned" issue for your work!

Working now!

Same for me. Love the idea @mdruker.app , hope to see it in action!

Love this one. The tattoos on her stomach make for a killer look

Yeah. I think apps can disable it as desired

Oh! I have that off on macOS! Was wondering how you ended up with an iPhone.

You writing code on the phone?

Easy way to end a sentence? It doesn't insert two spaces, just a period and a space. Never turned it off

Thank you!

Made some art today #photography #portrait #christmas

Been most actively lately on my photography Insta instagram.com/spaetzel.photo

Alright, giving this a try. Been a fairly active lurker on Threads and Mastodon, but hearing Bsky might be more like old Twitter, which I'm definitely down for

Whoa, at over 1000 follows already!
