Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.

Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.

The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄

Maybe. I've only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one's privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

I think it's still used a lot for private messaging?

Switch remaster has a motion controls option. I quite like it. Is that comparable to how it played on the Wii?

I use it on a Homepod Mini to toggle different lights and a fan. In my previous apartment I used it to control a window AC. Sometimes I tell it to pause my AppleTV if I can't find the remote quick enough. I use it with FindMy when I lose my keys or bag or whatever else (I have a lot of AirTags). Other than controlling devices I mostly use it for weather reports and timers.

My partner has been using a Samsung Fold for two years, the one that folds open into a small tablet. It looked nice at first but it hasn’t held up well. There’s this film on the screen that you’re not supposed to remove and it’s deteriorating fast. There are these little patches on the screen that look sort of like bubbles. Plus even from the start you could see the crease in the middle of the screen.

My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑

I use the TouchID on my MacBook several times a day because it unlocks the password manager and wallet.

Vader’s helmet looks so big in this shot.

My mom was drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide daily for a while because some quack on YouTube claimed it prevents/cures cancer.
