  • My fiancée has passed her citizenship test and is now just waiting for the invite for the formal ceremony. And in the same week, her sister has received final exam results and is all good to graduate later this year. And we’ve got Paramore tickets for when they’re coming to Sydney in late November.

    So it’s been a good week.

    Today I’m back to work, and I guess tonight is the one night of normal before the weekend chaos starts tomorrow night.




  • Waze is quite a different experience than Google Maps when driving, so it’s made sense to keep them as two separate apps.

    Google Maps is “I want to get from point A to point B in a normal way.”

    Waze is “I want the most aggressively quick way; no back street is too small for me.”

    I feel like OP has gone too far with the editorialised headline this time, as the only thing that’s happening at this point is switching Waze over to use the standard Google ad platform rather than their custom system.



  • I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.

    Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.

    Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.

    Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.
