It has been a good year for discontinued Apple devices. Having so many lightning devices on this list is a great step forward. I still have an iPhone 15 Pro Max and do not have any plans to move to the 16. I am kinda jealous of the camera button because I think I would take more pictures if it was so easy to open the camera. I use my action button as a flashlight, so I could use a button for the camera or even better would be for ever button to be like the new camera button and be fully customizable.
One of my favorite podcasts is The NYTimes The Daily podcast. I have been a subscriber since it debuted in 2017 and have missed only a few episodes. Today, Axios announced The Daily is putting its archive behind a paywall. Beginning next month, The New York Times will make its audio subscription available for purchase through Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
I subscribe for free through Pocket Casts, my preferred podcast player, and listen to the entire podcast with ads.

I wear an Apple Watch when I leave my house. I rarely wear one around my house unless I am working out. This means that some days, I do not wear the watch because I do not leave my house. I find that wearing a watch is like wearing khaki pants. I am fine to wear it while I am out, but it instantly gets on my nerves the moment I step foot into the comfort of my home.
I love random stuff like this and how creative people can be.

I had never put on any type of virtual reality headset other than Google Cardboard when it first came out, and I still was an Android user. That experience was a neat one-off where I looked around in a fake outer space scene and honestly do not remember much else. I let my kids play around, and they were bored with it along with me within five minutes.
I’m sure Apple’s Vision Pro headset will be a nicer experience than a cardboard box, rubber bands, and magnets that constituted the Google Cardboard.

It reminds me of Ed Sheeran’s solo performance of I Don't Care (Live At Abbey Road).
I could watch people create songs by looping themselves for hours, so if you know of any more, please let me know!
In a dramatic twist of fate, Sam Altman, the former boss of OpenAI, was kicked out of his seat by a rebellious board on Friday.

Meanwhile, Emmett Shear, the ex-CEO of Twitch, the streaming platform where gamers watch other gamers play, will switch sides and join OpenAI. This has been an interesting weekend before a holiday!
Rosalynn Carter, who as first lady worked tirelessly on behalf of mental health reform and professionalized the role of the president’s spouse, died Sunday at the age of 96.
Married for 77 years. If my wife and I were to do that, we would be married until 2086 and I would be 96 years old.
I could only be so lucky to live such an inspiring life.
