Anyone know if the Apple Music improvements in iOS 17 bring sync of the up next queue across devices?

Shut up Thierry Henry… enjoyed Ted Lasso and its fitting end to the final season.

When does the Roy Kent series start?

Where I’ve been

I’ve seen a few posts from people sharing where they’ve been and thought it was interesting. So I’m sharing the countries I’ve been too as well:

  • Denmark 🇩🇰
  • France 🇫🇷
  • Switzerland 🇨🇭
  • Israel 🇮🇱
  • Italy 🇮🇹

I’ve also stepped foot in Belgium and Luxembourg but they were both on the way to Switzerland so I don’t count them.

When I was growing up we had most of our family holidays in the UK and I think I’ve visited nearly all the counties in England, most of Wales, and a couple in Scotland.

Editing memories

I’ve been looking at some of the things Google announced this week. Whilst some of the things are quite interesting – like the Pixel Tablet and stand – others are just plain puzzling.

I understand that Google was is trying to flex and show off their AI abilities, the new Magic Editor that they announced doesn’t sit well with me. I take photos to preserve memories. I can look back through my photo library and memories are triggered by the visuals, even the ones that are less than perfect.

Showing off the capabilities of their new photo editor, Google talked about how we want things to always look good. That’s not necessarily wrong, but it’s not how life is. Not every day is sunny and bright, but Google is giving us the ability to make it appear like it is. Take a cloudy overcast day, there may be some really fun things that happen but it looks a bit grey. Google wants to make it easy for us to edit that photo and make it sunny with ease. It creates a disconnect with reality. The images of our memories won’t match.

Social media already causes a lot of people to live their life in a highly edited false way. Making it easier to trick ourselves into remembering something in a completely different way isn’t necessarily a good thing.

I love my Sonos, but starting to want some kind of physical remote to control them. Any recommendations?

Went for a walk after work. A bird pooed on me. About sums up my day.

A long time ago I used an app called LittleSnapper to collect images and snap websites I liked. Anyone know of a similar app?

Trying to utilise Hookmark in my workflow more but finding I spend a lot of time making sure things are linked… seems to create more admin work than I would like.
