I updated my iPad Pro to the latest iOS beta last week, and it killed my Magic Keyboard. I’ve tried reupgrading, restoring, downgrading to stable iOS to no success.
Going to see about getting it swapped out tomorrow. The iPad is so much less useful for me without this accessory.

I haven’t had a reason to wear a collared shirt, nice pants, or put product in my hair for over a year. But I think going out to get my #fauciouchie is a good enough of a reason as any.

People making a big deal about governments approving veterinarians to give the COVID-19 vax.
I have known my vet longer than my GP. I’d be more than happy to let her poke me for this.
Plus, after the shot, she’d probably rub my belly and give me a treat for being a good boy. 😄

My range isn’t huge but this pandemic has led to me hitting both my longest and my shortest hair of maybe my life in the course of a few months.

There is a high school kid walking home in front of my house, with a beard thicker than anything I could dream of growing.
Not jealous at all. Not even a little bit. 🥲

My customer asked what the new VCTA certification exams were like, and I didn’t think I could speak to it without taking one. First time with a proctored home exam as well. Not bad. #CrushedIt youracclaim.com/badges/75d8931…

Is there not a way with Microsoft Teams (for Mac) to automatically mute when I enter a call?
It’s probably not a great look professionally to for everyone to hear my groans and sighs.

Me: Oh neat, I remember these from when I was a kid, man this must have been like 20 years ago.
Apple Music: …
Me: THIRTY YEARS AGO?!

I’ve owned or used all three unibody MacBook Pro (2010, 2013, 2017) and the 2017 is my least favorite of all of them.
It has nothing to do with the keyboard (no crumbs!), or the Touch Bar, or the ports (USB-C FTW).
It’s that the fans, run, constantly, under the slightest load.
