Petyin kovasti että hardiksen arvioinnista jäi nyt puuttumaan ergonomia- ja materiaalitestit.

Frame on todella hyvä. Mattapintainen, ja ilman taustavaloa oleva ruutu sulautuu huoneeseen erinomaisesti. Ei tarvi enää aina sitä mustaa suorakulmioo kromireunoilla.

Frameissa + monissa muissa Samsungin malleissa on jo pitkään ollut alusta lähtien toi keskusyksikkö, tosin piuhoilla. Todella kätevä, ohentaa itse ruutua huomattavasti.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

This is a compelling demonstration that jujitsu and MMA training (or hunting pigs in Hawaii or making your neck real thick or whatever) isn't going to help you act aggressive if you're constitutionally bitchmade.

Just canceled my Spotify Premium and moving onto Apple Music instead.

This as a last screen feels passive aggressive. Yeah, no, this relationship went sour some time ago.

LA is one of my favorite cities in the world. I have fond memories visiting ArtCenter campuses in Pasadena. Really loved the vibe. Would have loved to visit JPL next door.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by the wildfires. Stay safe, and let’s hope for the best.

Time to exit stealth — this is what I have been part of as Hesd of Design since last April. We are on a mission to address one of the biggest challenges organizations face: turning a strategic visions into real, impactful results in real time, and all the time.

Apple’s ‘carbon neutral’ claims come under scrutiny iPhone maker flags credentials of its latest Watch products as EU seeks to clamp down on ‘greenwashing’

"Documents detailing one scheme Apple has backed through a conservation fund show that the majority of the newly planted trees are chopped down to be sold as timber in little more than a decade"

Unsurprisingly, Apple's "carbon neutral" watch is landing them in hot water:

Lapsivapaina viikkoina mulla on sitten aikuisten juttuja. Niitä voi tehdä just siihen tahtiin kuin itse haluaa. Monesti aika hitaasti. Joskus hyvin vähän, joskus taas junalla Lappiin 😄

Palestiinalaisten aktiviteetit eivät kestä päivänvaloa mutta ei se silti oikeuta kansanmurhaan Israelin puolelta.

My partner, being aware of me being quite opinionated on things, was amused the last two times I’ve had my name/face on press have been

1) this
2) me gonzo free skiing at local dockland after a major dump last winter

Maybe the third time will be again something of substance 😂 END

I decided immediately that yes absolutely I will visit the old school to pick up the reward - a tee - they promised. It will be a three hour drive but for sure a fun to visit and see what else has changed. 9/x

Saturday morning I noticed someone had tried to reach me for a few times, and it was Iltalehti journalist looking for to write a lighthearted story for the weekend. Of course I said yes, being fairly amused myself. 8/x

Obviously I chimed in at the School social media, claiming the t-shirt they promised as a reward.

Yeah. The class function had been renovated but probably not throughout enough to find the note. It’s now a dedicated media class apparently. I really hope they clean it now 😅 7/x

Our class are planning a 30-year (yikes) reunion and someone shared the School FB post there wondering who might this be. Few names were thrown to the game but no answers. Someone pinged me.

It took me few seconds to remember what the hell was this about but yes it was my initials for sure 😃 6/x
