My biggest recommendation to help you enjoy the Big Sur look and feel? System Preferences β‘οΈ General β‘οΈ Allow wallpaper tinting in windows βοΈπ π»ββοΈ
My Big Sur upgrade went well. At least for me, everything is actually working *better* after the upgrade, especially Mail.app. I know there have been mixed reviews on the new look, but I like it overall.
I am officially living the BIG BOI phone life now. Happy with my new iPhone so far!

How's everyone holding up? Yesterday was brutal. Take care of yourselves, please. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to ping me. I'm so, so tired, but never too tired to support a fellow human.

Also ordered a new liquor cabinet, designed built-ins for the laundry room, setup a HomePod stereo pair for the media center, completely re-cabled the media center, and more.

Been extremely productive around the house over the last week or so. All new beds for the kids, new outdoor lights, planters for the back yard, more smart lighting, etc.

Watched Enola Holmes on Netflix last night with Lacey. Recommended. It was a little slow at times, but Millie Bobby Brown is an absolute delight. Hopefully they make a sequel or a series!

@cleverdevil That's my pain. I wish the 12 Pro Max camera setup came on a smaller device. I want to stack the Moment 58mm tele lens on that 65mm tele lens.

@bix if I could get the 12 Pro Max camera system on the 12 mini, thatβd be my phone in a heartbeat.

@cleverdevil I bought the Pro Max in the last go-round because of the cameras. Iβve never regretted it. fwiw ymmv etc
, Oct 15 2020 on micro.blog
I was thinking about getting the mini just because I hate the size of the ones now but the camera on the βlargeβ one does look spectacular

Yeah, I am in the same boat. I think that the best camera is my priority, but I am having difficulty having to get the largest phone to get access to the best camera...

Of all the objects in my possession, perhaps the most ridiculously Jonathan one is a preposterously overpriced doohickey for making perfectly clear cocktail ice. I do cherish it. I do.

While I do not own such a device, I'm nerdy enough (and/or have listened to enough circa-2013 podcasts) to know a brand of one by name. Is it the Studio Neat ice kit?
, Oct 13 2020 on twitter.com
Hilariously, it is not. But, only because after owning it, I knew I needed to upgrade to something better! Mine is called the Phantom Ice Maker from @Wintersmiths. I adore it.

Macallan sells a ridiculous one for $800 if you are in the market! (or you can get a silicon mold for like $4.....)

@cleverdevil Slightly embarrassed to admit that I have one too. Also a tray for ice spheres (rather than cubes). And light saber shaped icicles that fit in the kidsβ water bottles. I have this weird affinity for The Perfect Ice.
, Oct 14 2020 on micro.blog
@fgtech itβs so good! I have four different trays for it, but I almost exclusively use the sphere tray.

Watched the first few episodes of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+ and enjoyed myself. Yes, itβs a bit sappy and over the top, but it is a nice, light distraction that makes me laugh. Worth a watch.

Epic Games with some serious chutzpah taking on Apple and its App Store rules. I am not sure its going to work, but Fortnite is incredibily popular, and kudos to them forcing the issue.
Well, bolstered by my favorite, trusted IT reviewer, it may be time to consider an upgrade. But not on this lovely quiet Saturday. Not a day to borrow trouble or to start sawing the OS table legs. Thanks for the post β Iβm glad it went well!
