Natasha and I were shopping at #Aldi when we found these doormats in the ‘central Germanic bargain strip’ (as I call it). I couldn’t help but notice that it almost spelt out #HomePod, however the last letter looks like a ‘d’ that was changed into an ‘i’ at the last minute. t.co/C3AoBn26o…

@endlessnoodling @GivernyW Fantastic! I look forward to seeing the covers!

Day seven of a challenge by @GivernyW to post the covers of seven books that I love: no explanation or review—just the cover. With each post, I’ll ask a friend to take up the challenge (no pressure). One book cover a day for a week! Today, I nominate @endlessnoodling t.co/xOigsrgXk…

@jodiefeld @GivernyW That’s OK!!! Like I said, no pressure…

@atpfm I feel completely vindicated after your most recent episode. As a six-year-old, I toiled through ‘Descent’ on the Power Macintosh 6500 with a keyboard. It was great fun but I was obviously too young to have a clue about joysticks. #atpfm

@bhansmeyer No problem! Thanks for your time! :)

@DancesInUndies @reneritchie Yep, that would be awesome. Agreed!

@bhansmeyer @caseyliss Great article! I agree with your points about photo editing photo (although I’d love to be able to edit metadata like on Mac, e.g. from DSLR). The focus you can achieve when writing is great. If you’re interested, I shared my own thoughts here too: loungeruminator.net/2018/11/22/ipa…

@DancesInUndies @reneritchie Just to clarify by ‘which notifications come through’, do you mean on a more specific/deeper level than just which apps are allowed to come through? As in, categorising types of notification from an app?

@DancesInUndies @reneritchie What do you think would be the single most important enhancement for (more granular) notifications in a world without 3D Touch?

@caeochoa @tldtoday I stumble into little things but the benefit is that the iPad Pro performs many roles for different people, since it is separate from a keyboard. I think the challenge that faces the iPad as a device is the original philosophy of it being an ‘in-between’ device.

@caeochoa @tldtoday Not really, just some little features like editing metadata in Photos, which iOS doesn’t allow. The thing that takes some adjustment is multitasking. I love the Mac and have used it since I was 5, so my habits fit that. What I like about the iPad is the focus and lightness.

@caeochoa @tldtoday I have the 10.5-inch iPad Pro and find that iOS does just about all the things that I need in an everyday computer, however your point about making it a laptop sure does point to increased versatility of the device. It really is a great idea and quite the technical achievement.

@Chundles One of them is listening… twitter.com/CommBank/statu…

@Chundles @siracusa @dhmontgomery I love that you’ve introduced yet another term and yes, that’s probably true. :)

@ulliverti @siracusa @atpfm Same here!

@ulliverti @siracusa Yep, just relax and enjoy your scones; I agree. Anyway, I look forward to potential @atpfm chat about biscuits and scones. Boxed lunches, bagels, pizza, dessert, Thanksgiving and so many other elements have received excellent coverage already. :)

@ulliverti @siracusa Oh right! I would spread the jam evenly first and then generously plonk the cream on top of it. I don’t frown on upon those who do the opposite though.

@ulliverti @siracusa Both!!!

@ulliverti @siracusa @atpfm Haha yes! People can easily become riled up by this (especially British purists) but I think that it’s just a great example of how diverse the English-speaking world has become globally.

@siracusa This is all just linguistic, so there’s no real right or wrong.( I just find it interesting.) For your interest, here are ‘biscuits’ according to Brits/Australians: bestrecipes.com.au/article/our-fa…

@siracusa Oh in the United States, sure! :) Here are British scones: curiouscuisiniere.com/british-scones/

@siracusa @dhmontgomery Well, technically we’re still a constitutional monarchy but let’s not get into that because I may start to cry. 🇬🇧🇦🇺😭

@siracusa @dhmontgomery As an Australian, the fact that these are called biscuits seems strange and unnatural. Following the tradition of our formerly imperial British overlords, we would call them scones. :)
