I always wonder what made us so careless, so self-focused that we ignored the greens around us.

You know how at times you keep making a very very silly mistake, but you blame a much larger/complicated problem? Yeah that. I keep doing that.

It’s worse when you loop others in to look at the problem, as I did @manton. Sigh. I am able to post Manton. Please ignore.

It had been so long since I was actively engrossed in something. It was kind of a low productivy phase. I think I might be over it now. Now. That needs to get updated.

In the new Google Duplex demos, the system clearly calls out it’s Google Assitant, but then goes on to hmmm-ing and umm-ing like real person. It’s unnecessary, deceptive; plus the scenario’s too ideal.

Safari is a browser, wish the updates to such an important app wasn’t tied to OS upgrades. I do not want my whole OS to be upgrade — just give me the new improvements in browser.

Most companies hate monolithic updates, with Apple it’s the other way round.

Best update in iOS 12? Post upgrade it asked for iCloud password 0 times. That is many ones less than what the experience was earlier. Folks at Apple were listening after all, may be they just weren’t making noise. A great improvement.

Incredibles 2 was underwhelming. Action (which was sleek, no doubt) won over balanced narration. Very similar to other animated movies (Despicable Me, Megamind) — unlike one from Pixar.

Just performed a Windows 10 reset - because it was getting bogged down by the loaded crap. Reset description read it will remove the crap and only keep bare minimum.

Now all the apps that were actually used are removed and the system is loaded back with default crap 🤦🏽‍♂️
