Hi! Do you remember blogs? Well, this used to be one. Now it just serves as an archive for my multiple Twitter accounts.

Alors je voudrais pas la ramener, mais à Tokyo, vélos et piétons se partagent les trottoirs, et ça se passe pas trop mal. En fait, le problème, ce ne sont pas les moyens de locomotion, mais les gens. [twitter.com]

Turns out there is a limit to what customers are happy to pay for an iPhone — especially the mass-market offering [twitter.com]

Why does an official Apple app require my email account credentials just to display an email compose sheet?

J’ai attendu toute la semaine ce weekend où je pourrais me reposer et aussi sortir un peu dans le Marais, et au lieu de ça je passe mon samedi au fond du lit avec la pire gueule de bois de ma vie 👍︎

You: “AI powered deep fakes will herald a new era where we cannot tell what is true and false on the internet”

Me: Drew used the power of “right click” to edit the headline on a piece of mine and I’ve had people asking me if I know what ‘hunger’ is for twelve hours [twitter.com]

Oh, I assumed the new Pencil used an accelerometer to detect double-taps, like AirPods

Turns out jigsaw puzzle makers just use the same die to cut apart different puzzles, so you can mix and match. [boingboing.net]

I played three levels of the Tetris Effect demo, didn’t understand why the game didn’t let me progress further, didn’t care because I didn’t see the appeal, and now everyone’s ecstatic and I’m wondering what the fuck I missed.

As for the new iPad Pro, the 11-inch is 😍

I hate to say it but, having been to the Apple Store, I can totally picture myself with an XS Max. Also, after seeing how good the XR looks on paper, it’s crazy how much it feels like a cheap clone when directly compared to the XS.

Je pourrais arrêter le théâtre, faire un gros mois de boulot et me payer un iPad Pro, un iPhone XS Max et une Watch d’ici Noël 😢

I’m writing a simple graphic for UI decoration. A single texture can be oriented 8 different ways and mirrors around the center to work in any size.

Space is closer than you think. The small stack of coins indicates the height of the #Karman line. The larger stack, the height of #ISS orbit, 400 km. The single coin shows the height of a commercial aircraft, at just 10 km. #scicomm #sciart
