@siracusa I had this problem on my iPhone. I received the email and there was a warning in settings as well. As soon as I tapped the warning, it went away. I spent about 2 hours with Apple support trying to confirm I wasn’t going to lose coverage and they couldn’t figure out what happened either […]

Apollo 13 moon mission leader James Lovell dies at 97 Astronaut James Lovell, who was commander of the 1970 Apollo 13 mission that managed to get back to earth safely after an oxygen tank explosion, has died. He was 97.

Godspeed Captain Lovell

It never occurred to me that they would have to make an entire sitcom episode to teach people how to dial a telephone.

Your random picture of the day is these two phones, which both use (used) the same phone number. Plus probably 20 phones in between. And come to think of it, the number has also been on every major US carrier.

This has been another enlightening update from the Center for the Easily Amused.

@thechrisglass.bsky.social yeah I need to sit

I strongly object to the words “Y2K” and “classic” being used together.

It’s nice to know we can expect updated release notes every 70 years.

My little e-ink display that normally has home automation stuff on it now also displays EPCOT wait times.

This has been another project from the Because I Can department. 😂

The Ultimate Dolby Atmos Experience Might Be In Your Car After two weeks of listening to Dolby Atmos Music in Cadillac’s fancy electric SUV, I never want to go back to two-channel audio.

I love music in Atmos, I can’t believe it isn’t already available in more cars

They tried to warn us

"I'll have a lot of things in there, but only half of what I want to do in there eventually. You see these things I want to keep adding, keep plussing… It's a 3 dimensional thing to play with… everything I do, I keep a practical eye toward its appeal to the public, you see?”

Happy 70th, Disneyland!

Pleased that Disney has finally named a successor to Bob Iger

Every now and then I play with an Android phone for a bit just to see how the rest of the world lives. 😂

I have to admit, this feature that can combine group photos together is a pretty cool idea.

@troy ah, sorry to hear that :( hang in there

Using Signal groups for activism Things are heating up. Millions of people are taking to the streets against Trump's rising authoritarianism. Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism. Signal can help people safely organize in

Very informative post on using Signal for activism - and really any other group chat need. Learned a few things I didn’t know signal could do!

So much more straightforward - and private - vs discord and the like

Whew, hottest Fourth of July we’ve had in years. We’ve come a long way, though, since the turn of the century over one hundred twenty five years ago.

The Jim Henson Hour was an anthology series similar to “Walt Disney Presents” that was aired in 1989.

I just rewatched one of my fav episodes, “Secrets of the Muppets” where Jim takes us on a behind the scenes tour & the Muppets are terrified of being exposed 😂 […]
