Night before last my CPAP mask hose broke. No searches on my devices. No reason to be in #myalgorithm. I’ve been using a CPAP for years. Told my wife, called the pharmacy and left a message. The only reason for this to show up in my YouTube feed is because it’s listening.

I don’t plan to purchase any media made by AI, as far as movies, streaming or music. I’m all for using AI for searching, computing, smart phone assistants but not for creative arts beyond simple avatars and joke pictures.

What happened to Apple? This last year has been the buggiest, laggiest, worst experience I had with iPhone & iPad ever (15 Pro Max & M4 Pro 11) . It doesn’t feel like they care or want to fix anything. I would switch if I could and I’m starting to think about not sharing info with them anymore. Siri is a dumpster fire and I’m almost at the point it’s not even worth using anymore. I’ve heard the naysayers before and didn’t believe them but Apple seems to be falling apart everywhere. They need a refocus on a smoother user experience. iOS 19 could be the beginning of the downfall. It has been a good run. They need to bring in regular users, both power and novice, for some outside advice. Apple seems to be in an echo chamber and must think everything they’re doing it fantastic.

I knew tires were important, this shows how much: Horsepower vs Tires - What Actually Matters?! youtu.be/cXNolTd5i20?si=a_vq…

Oh my! 18.1 public release is definitely buggy. I hope Apple can start cleaning up their software engineering as well as they have their supply and development engineering. User experience definitely seems to be taking a back burner lately.

I think it’s kind of awesome!
