Some personal news.

I’ve been using several ai systems over the past months, but recently decided to try a pro account on @claudeai from @AnthropicAI. They can’t seem to keep it online at all constantly problems, disconnections in the middle of analysis, system being down completely. Oomph

My wife and I went to an afternoon showing of the Springsteen movie today. It was spectacular. Better than I ever thought. It made me remember why I love music so much. I’ve forgotten that the past few years.

After a very disappointing call with Apple support, I am removing all of my subscriptions from Apple and paying the companies directly.

Turn on Apple Music and it plays a pop song from Dennis Lloyd. Never fucking heard of him, but it’s dance pop, something I’ve NEVER played. Skipped the song and then AM played a cover version of Back in Black. Turned AM off and started Spotify! It just works. Fuck Apple!

I have to say I’m liking these glasses after getting them setup with the app. Surprisingly clear AI voice and good sounding music.

Unwrapping my @Meta ray ban glasses. Inside the box there is a QR code that takes you to the store to buy glasses. There’s another QR code inside the getting started pamphlet that also takes you to the store to buy glasses that I already own 🙄

So what do you do when you have a subscription through Apple, your card is good but Apple doesn’t pay the company for your subscription? @apple any thoughts on this? Please don’t ignore me. @AppleSupport

So @Apple starting processing a payment on Oct 11 for a subscription that was due on Oct 12. It’s Oct 13 and my subscription has been cut off because Apple didn’t pay it in time. Sorry @trakt, Apple sucks. I have no faith in Apple anymore.

A few months ago I decided to try @trakt. I paid through Apple because it was easy. Today Trakt no says I am no longer a VIP member for nonpayment, even though they accepted this month’s money for the subscription renewal. I thought they were better than this.

Spent some time this morning labeling the Demi glacé I made and putting it into half cup portions. Now I’ll move on to making some more espagnole sauce.

The Dalrymple Report: AirPods Pro 3, Super Bowl, New products

Seriously folks, can’t Apple be sued for showing us Super Bowl ads on Apple Music when they say the service is ad free? Apple says they protect us from other companies exploiting us… who protects us from @tim_cook and the executives at Apple? They are doing the same thing.
