Ever watch Monk, starring Primetime Emmy Award-winner Tony Shalhoub?

Woot! Heavy timber construction!

Croissant starts at $2.99 per month, or you can pay $19.99 per year or a one-time fee of $59.99. That's probably too much for casual posters, granted—McCarthy says the intended audience is really small business owners and creators "who use social media professionally, but is not their full time job."

I can see the appeal of the annual cost—even the one-time fee. If you post at least once a week, that’s 156 posts across platforms per year. Add Instagram into the mix and now you’re at 208.

Imagine having to factory reset a kidney to perform better in a transplant.

It looks like a wolf howling with another howling wolf head superimposed in the background. Amazing!

EDIT: If I could, I’d rename it as “The Howler Nebula”.

On the bright side, if you sell the device someone else could upgrade the storage after the fact.

Damn, and here I thought Covid was supposed to make my memory worse.

I’m concerned for my American friends that have just elected a leader that believes that, and I’m paraphrasing here, “if they stopped testing, they wouldn’t have any cases” as well as hired a guy firmly bent on undermining vaccines and vaccine information.

If you check your local library, you might already have access to a DVD set.

I highly recommend a MagSafe-compatible case if you’re thinking of getting into the ecosystem. Even a thin TPU case is enough to keep your phone from docking correctly, if at all.

In case anyone else misinterpreted the headline, Apple is not shelving the Vision Pro as a product line—just the current Gen 1 headset.

Apple has abruptly reduced production of the Vision Pro headset and could stop making the current version of the device completely by the end of 2024, The Information reports.

Citing multiple people "directly involved" in making components for the headset, the report says that the scaling back of production began in the early summer. This indicates that Apple now has a sufficient number of Vision Pro units in its inventory to meet demand for the device's remaining lifespan through to next year.

*Edited for emphasis.

 

In Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 5, "Mirrors"Detmer and Owosekun were assigned to pilot the Mirror Universe's ISS Enterprise to Federation HQ by Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green). This explained Detmer and Owo's absence for the rest of Discovery season 5.

However, Detmer and Owo do appear in Star Trek: Discovery's epilogue scene, and they were a sight for sore eyes.

Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books

Etsy sellers are turning free fanfiction into printed and bound physical books, and listing them for sale on online marketplaces for more than $100 per book. It’s a problem that’s rattling the authors of those fanfics, as well as their fans and readers.

Several sellers, easily found on Etsy and very popular, each with hundreds of five-star reviews, are selling copies of fanfiction taken from sites like Archive of Our Own (Ao3) and reselling them as bound books. The average price of these bound copies is around $149. Some sellers claim that they’re simply covering the cost of materials, while others just sell the books, usually with the fanfiction writers’ Ao3 username on the cover.

 

[…] being able to say, "wherever you get your podcasts" is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that's supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that's not owned by any one company, that can't be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

What podcasting holds in the promise of its open format is the proof that an open web can still thrive and be relevant, that it can inspire new systems that are similarly open to take root and grow.

 

A Casey Neistat Vision Pro video posted over the weekend was, he says, simply intended to be a piece of silly fun – wearing the device while catching metro trains and walking through Times Square.

But he said that in the course of making the video, he had a totally unexpected experience, which convinced him that this type of device is the future of computing…

 

Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in a statement shared on live television that Apple has no intention to license Masimo's patents. While it seemed likely that was the case, the company hadn't said as much publicly until now.

"We're focused on appeal," Cook's statement said. "There's lots of reasons to buy the watch even without the blood oxygen sensor."
