Producing/hosting a show called Hands on Tech is pretty good for the ego …

A screenshot of an email with the opening line, “Hello Hot”

Is there a good online guide for getting into 3D printing? Something that suggests the printer to get, the gotchas to watch out for, the stuff to buy, etc.?

@RobEakins I did go to Mizzou! I definitely know where Fulton is.

Such beautiful little angels 🐕 — thanks for sharing!

@aleen This is Sebastian's plight, as well. I have a little bit of input for him on placement, but not much feedback overall because I just don't know.

@aleen Thank you, Aleen! 🥰 I will pass along the ring compliment!

@rustyshelf hahaha, thank you, Rusty!!

Lots of suggestions for open source software to replace Bartender.

Here’s my anecdotal concern: Every time someone suggests open source software, they say it’s good because people can see the code and check if there’s anything nefarious. But if *everyone* is saying *someone* will spot the problems, WHO is actually looking for the potential problem?

Reminds me of Adams’s S.E.P. Field.

If anyone knows of a good replacement, please let me know!

lol remember when u had 2 plug in ur iphone using a lightning cable?

Did you catch my review of the new iPad Pro on @TWiT’s Hands on Tech?

Happy Spangler Candy Company Day, @joesteel!

Did you notice the little shadow that appears in the UI when you hover your Apple Pencil over an iPad Pro?

Spotted it during @TWiT's MacBreak Weekly yesterday. Clever!

Very excited about the new Pathways from Apple! Now to come up with an app idea …

@podfeet Haha! The dishwasher part cracked me up. I bet Mizzy & Henri would love to see what's in the fridge, though!

Yay! So pleased to see “Kite Fight” accepted by Cotton Bureau! 🪁🥊

I created the concept back in college and thought I'd pull it out and dust it off. I'd love to see photos if you grab one!

Two kites are shown wearing boxing gloves, facing off against one another in the sky. It's a visual pun for the kite fighting activity.

I've seen so many folks accidentally triggering video reactions on the Mac during a call, so I made a video showing you how to turn the feature off!

@adhdjesse When I first moved here in 2019, I got a water dispenser and subscription for those 5-gallon bottles of drinking water. Eventually, I installed a water filtration system and stopped using the subscription. But I hate having to call to cancel things, so I just kept paying for it and taking in new bottles of water. 😑

For those of you following along at home, I did *finally* cancel my water subscription. Laughably, they charge a $50 “reconditioning fee” for the water dispenser.

Want to know what the Apple Vision Pro pre-order process is like? I was up at 4 a.m. and captured it for you.

Developers, I will be pre-ordering the Apple Vision Pro. If you've got apps you want me to try, DM me!

@jamesthomson @joesteel @HollyGoDarkly Wow, when did @dmoren find the time to create so many accounts?

Made sous vide filet mignon yesterday and now I think I might actually like steak …

Woo! We've now got more than 10k Club @TWiT members. @rosemary and I just recorded the first episode of iOS Today available to Club TWiT members today!

I recently joined @macsparky & @ismh on Mac Power Users! It was unexpectedly healing getting to talk about my process and work at @TWiT, @relay, and elsewhere.

I tested out Apple's Diagnostics for Self Service Repair suite now that it's available to all!

🤯 Blown away by this video from @film_girl showing the racks that house the tech for GitHub’s new M1 macOS Runners. Was not expecting to see the Minis deconstructed!
