I find it so disturbing that every PGE crew in Oakland now seems need a Police escort...

The magic of Apple is their ability to amaze me with the "you're holding that too close to your face" feature... then 30 seconds later amaze me even more by attaching the screen directly to my face.

Portland Business Journal article about our Kuto Store launch today! Basically it’s our take on a points system. Kuto is already a no-brainer payment method for businesses since we cut card fees by 70%. Now there’s a strong reason for consumers to prefer it as well.

Our 4th @kutoapp event for the City of Portland; giving away another $25k for downtown workers as part of a citywide stimulus program. You get a $50 virtual Kuto gift card that only works at local businesses. Pretty surreal to see folks lining up just to download our app!

Anyone have a guess as to which is "on"? Followup: you think it actually respects my choice?

I feel like I’m pretty good at computers… but dear lord - the Google Home family sharing / account sharing thing is incomprehensible. Oh how I miss my Nest account.

Is it just me or is 5G horribly underwhelming / disappointing? I honestly can't tell any difference.

I got a rando txt from @Citi saying there was fraud detected w/a phone number to call. When you call the number they say: "You will get a text; read the number back to me". I checked the app, site, and phone number in the txt and its all correct but this is the fraud playbook!

Whatever your child is watching on YouTube Kids right now, fear not, there is always a more awful video to watch.

I used @Target @Shipt at the beginning of the pandemic and it was great... they recently changed my target store to a tiny one nearer my house which has... basically nothing... and now its useless. Anyone else notice this or know if there is a way to switch stores?

I feel like asking to not have my personal information sold is becoming increasingly creepy... and requires far too much personal information.

The fantastic Groundhog Day is on Netflix! I am going to watch it every day during my shelter at home out of solidarity.

So... @GQMagazine, if I turn ON the “do not sell my information”... it sells my personal information? Or do I turn off the “do not sell my information” to not sell my information?

Everytime I get my iPhone back from my 17mo I find she has discovered some kind of bug... like rotation fails or the app tray has disappeared or swipe up doesn’t work anymore or apps just don’t launch or...

Two back-to-back phone calls with 2 different companies for support; it’s crazy how talking to customer support can either restore or destroy your faith in humanity.
