Replacing an iPhone screen, due to it being tied to Face ID, deactivates an Apple Car Key. Make sure to take a fob or a second digital key you have added, like an Apple Watch, if driving to the Apple Store for repairs.

BREAKING: Warner says the HBO Max rebrand was not meant to reach customers. An engineer toggled a feature flag by accident and as such HBO will remain Max.

@gruber.foo absolutely the wrong decision, unless they add a gamblers wing to the hall of fame. Gambling while active should never, ever be rewarded and players should not know that eh, I’ll get in someday, might as well make the bank now. Until last year there were few violations.

@ioniqguy.bsky.social charging at Tesla is a mess. The short cable stations work, not the really long cables. It never worked via the Hyundai app not plug and charge. I had to start it via the Tesla app. I am taking two Tesla stations to charge due to their goofy cable length.

Feels like GTA VI is going to be a total bust. Delays can mean a lot of things, but rarely does it mean quality. It usually means they built shit trying to outdo V and totally missed the mark and are now in salvage mode. Hopefully I am very wrong.
