It’s only Tuesday.

I’ve given it 6 months, but I’m continually annoyed with the way iOS 10 does conversation threading in Mail.
So far my week is off to an awesome start. #alternativefacts
“So we have a question about our upgrade. Why didn’t you install 6.2?”

Oh and after 22GB they throttle your connection during periods of congestion.
Much, unlimited.
AT&T has a new “unlimited” data plan that is more expensive than everyone else, doesn’t allow tethering, and downgrades your video streams.
I’ve owned Workflow for a while but never really used it. I’ve finally started writing some and now I’m hooked. #automate

It was a more innocent time.
Carry on.

Yesterday was the first time I’d used Apple Pay in a browser on macOS, authenticating with the Watch.
I’m so picky about app icon placement on my iPhone, but my iPad is always just 🤷♂️
So if there’s a tie after sudden death does the House get to decide?
