World’s Richest Man Proposes to Rape World’s Biggest Popstar for Not Endorsing Facism
First, let’s talk about Taylor Swifts absolutely awesome endorsement of Harris. It’s very well-articulated, and smartly timed post debate, and ends with an absolutely perfect “Taylor Swift, Childless Cat Lady” sign-off. I am not going to post any link or screenshot of what Elon Musk wrote in response, you can find it easily online, but it was “I can give her a child”. I cannot wait until this poor excuse of a human being gets what’s coming for him. A statement like that should be considered t
Ignore the engagement-hungry headlines and cynism - there’s plenty news in the iPhone 16 lineup
The first 36 hours of reporting after the annual Apple iPhone event has been exhausting. It usually is, but feels worse this year. The takeaway that parts of the tech community seemingly got together and decided to have, is that this year's iPhone are boring and there are limited improvements. So let me counteract that, because it's a cynical and simplistic take. Here’s what actually new in this year’s iPhone lineup, starting with the non-Pro phones: * Camera Control. Cynically called “just
Scoring my Apple Event predictions
So with the Apple Event behind us, its time to score my predictions of what the event would contain. General * ❌ The hardware announcements will be the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 3, and AirPods 4 * To my massive disappointment, no Ultra 3 this year. Also the AirPods Max was updated * ✅ They will announce rollout timing of Apple Intelligence * Rollout starts "next month" (October) mentioned * ✅ We will get specific dates for the release of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, wa
I really hope this latest Apple Watch rumor is incorrect
Been quite a lot of last minute Apple Event rumors these last two days. I won't update my predictions post because they stand for the day they were written, but just to comment: The latest rumor is saying that the Apple Watch Series 10 will be noticeably thinner and get new health sensor to support sleep apnea detection. But at the same time, Bloomberg are saying that there won't be an Apple Watch Ultra 3 this year, just a new color for the Ultra 2. If correct, I would be very disappointed bec
Tech travel gear
As I am this week traveling to Spain for a week for a family union thing, I figured now’s a good time as any to document what I bring with me on most trips in terms of tech.

General * iPhone 15 Pro Max, obviously * Apple Vision Pro in its official travel case * iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil * AirPods Pro 2nd gen with USB C * Bellroy Tech Kit (full size) Charging * Anker P
Apple Watch - The ultimate guide to all the options when buying
In this article, I am going to give my recommendations and reasoning for the various choices that you will be faced when having decided to buy an Apple Watch (which is a fantastic decision, by the way. You will not regret it). In summary, you have these choices to make: overall model, case material, case color, case size, with or without cellular, and finally watch band - which is the least consequential choice since they are very easily replace - that is part of the appeal of the watch, to have

Fall TV
I suppose every year is the same, but somehow this fall's TV lineup seems impossibly good and also impossible to be able to keep up with! Here are the shows that I am personally excited about and really want to make time to watch throughout the fall: New So obviously for these shows I don't know that they will be any good, but I am excited for them due to trailers or just prerelease chatter. I intend to post updates on those I do watch and what I think. * The Penguin * "Starring Colin F

Re: ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly HappensISLA VISTA, CA—In the days following a violent rampage in southern California in which a lone attacker killed seven individuals, including himself, and seriously injured over a dozen others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Tuesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these thin
Apple Event Predictions
As we are less than a week away from Apple's "It's Glowtime" event, I figured I should put my stake in the ground with regards to what I expect we will see at this event: General * The hardware announcements will be the iPhone 16 lineup, Apple Watch Series 10 and Ultra 3, and AirPods 4 * The reason I do not expect more than this, is that I fully expect a separate October event with Mac and iPad announcements * They will announce rollout timing of Apple Intelligence * We will get specifi
Sweden just completely removed the tax on airline fares
I am so exhausted by the Trump-ificiation of Swedish politics, but it's been undeniable for a long time now. Our government is currently a coalition of right-wing populist parties supported by a very far-right party. They today all proudly stood up for a press conference and announced that they are fully removing the tax on airline fares - a tax that was implemented in 2018 in order to reduce the climate impact of Swede's traveling by airplane. The tax is paid by the company actually operating
Rings of Power premiere mini-review
Spoiler-free post. Disclaimer: I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan. So I am absolutely the target audience for this show, and can probably be more easily persuaded to liking the show. That said, what a tremendous premiere season two has - I the first three episodes of the season. The show feels sure of itself, wastes no time kicking off and does not wait for the audience to keep up - it expects it to. It’s definitely darker than season 1, but is in no way dark like Game of Thrones / House of Dr
