    I&amp;#39;m getting a spate of obvious spam calls. (they come from the area code where i lived 10 years ago but I have no business there now) … I picked up and a guy with an Indian accent asks if I have trouble with my AT&amp;amp;T service. I say, it seems fine now, I answered your call! … call dropped … 🫥📞

    Some would say Apple store serial numbers or receipt numbers didn&amp;#39;t have enough entropy, but this probably does!

    Oh no, my own personal mondegreen. I literally thought the lyrics were &quot; When I&#39;m waiting for a bus” … iTunes lyrics are either great or heartbreaking …

    @octothorpe@mastodon.online @CStamp@mastodon.social @macstories@mastodon.macstories.net I am surprised I am in the minority of amateur mac-pundits, or those who listen/read them. I choose to believe Tim Cook is taking one for the team, to continue the (perhaps cynical) Apple he has built, despite fascist dictators.

    @octothorpe@mastodon.online The self-proclaimed videographer who has been on MacBreakWeekly too much for the past 20 years? I wonder what he will be up to. (i only had the patience to listen/watch that when I was going on very long dog walks …)

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/116454031117435266 I didn&amp;#39;t have as many problems with brand-new Apple Maps as many complainers I saw. But strangely, it didn&amp;#39;t handle frontage roads in Texas very well, which is ironic because Apple even then had a pretty big campus in Austin. I was trying to get to a friend&amp;#39;s new house in San Antonio, and it took me a while to realize the iPhone was just taking me in circles.

    RE: https://mastodon.online/@9to5Mac/116454546574134097 On the other hand, I sure can tell if something comes up that I downloaded at 128kbps from Napster 25 years ago (obscure stuff or DJ mixes which can&amp;#39;t be laundered thru iTunes Match)

    RE: https://mastodon.social/@mjtsai/116453907414298820 It might be useful for some, but it&amp;#39;s ominous Apple is now (usually) forcing it on during software updates. If I shave my beard and move to a new house am I totally screwed?

    @paul @rosyna I feel like it would be a little annoying but maybe tolerable to bug the user to update even in a retail release of an App.

    On a powerful Mac, what even is the point of &amp;quot;Game Mode&amp;quot;? (which all Apple Arcade games do force on). It seems to make no difference to anything, except it makes FireFox barely work in the background. (yes I am an Apple &amp;amp; Safari zealot, but Twitch works a lot better in FireFox). At least you can eventually screw around and find the button to turn it off in GameCenter. 🎮😔
