Mixed on Synology DS1621+
For data storage, my NAS is Synology DS1621+. I was a Synology evangelist for the longest time, but I'm starting to fall out of love with them. Their insistence on using first-party drives is a real turn-off.

Also plugged into the CalDigit is a stereo pair of Sonos Era 100s; they are in turn connected to a Sub Mini.

Disliked LG UltraFine 5K
I bought the Studio Display because the LGs are... really not very good.

- Appearance: Clockwise 678 16 Oct 2026 A very busy week this week in Apple land, what with HomeView debuting, and the Duo preorders happening just a few hours ago. I celebrated, in part, by joining Dan, Mikah, and Karissa Bell on Clockwise. This episode, we…
- 2 Oct 2026 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and today is, believe it or not, September 32nd. Which means it’s time to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Some friends and I will be doing a twelve-h…
- I'm Still Right, but I'm Also Wrong 25 Sept 2026 Seems that I got a little over-excited. As did most of the internet. In my last post, I noted that GM seemed to be… ahem… pumping the brakes on their anti-CarPlay agenda. As per Joanna Stern (Twitter link), I got that w…

- You're Leaving Money on the Table, Wassym 21 Sept 2026 In 2023, General Motors decided to make a curious commitment: their future electric vehicles would not feature CarPlay. Those of us with brains on the outside thought this decision quite curious, but it was limited to f…
- Sending Files Securely but Quickly 1 Sept 2026 Since I’m, well, me, I often find that I want to send multi-gigabyte files to others. I want to do this quickly, but also securely. About eleventy years ago, I got a deal on a lifetime Droplr account, and that works gre…
- Appearance: Magical and Revolutionary 5 24 Aug 2026 Life has been quite busy lately — in the good way! — and as such it completely fell off my to-do list to post about an appearance from a couple weeks ago. I was interviewed by Eric Schwarz on his podcast Magical & Revol…
- Callsheet 2026.7 24 Aug 2026 is rolling out in the App Store now. If you aren’t offered the update, go to the App Store details and you should be offered to upgrade it there. There’s a lot of fixes and some great changes/improvements in this versio…
- CarPlay is Coming to… Pontoon Boats 6 Aug 2026 Today, MasterCraft has announced it is adding CarPlay to some of its upcoming pontoon boats. For those keeping score: ✅ Most new cars, at all sorts of price points ✅ Boats ❌ Rivian What the hell are we doing here, folks…
- Appearance: Your Daily Liss #2 17 Jul 2026 Today your pal and mine, Lex Friedman, released episode two of Your Daily Liss. Which is to say, I was a guest on Your Daily Lex, episode #1048. Lex is traveling at the moment, and has both pre-recorded episodes of YDL,…
- Appearance: Clockwise 665 16 Jul 2026 This week I was also on Clockwise. On the episode, I joined Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, and Mikah Sargent to discuss Apple’s recently-released public betas of 𝓍OS 27, how we read for pleasure, embracing multicolored smart…

- Way to be #1, Apple! 🤮 15 Oct 2026 theverge.com
- Just got my first Callsheet rejection ever — only for iOS, not visionOS — because I did not declare correctly that Callsheet contains advertising. Callsheet does not contain advertising. That’s… kinda the whole point. @rejected 14 Oct 2026
- I’m genuinely shocked that Apple is offering a PoE mount for the wall-mount HomeView. A shocking admission that there are ways of powering devices that are neither USB-C nor completely proprietary. I’m _not at all_ shocked it’s 43% of the price of the device. 13 Oct 2026

- I genuinely believe most of the reason I love my i4 so much is *because* it started life as an ICE car. It _almost_ passes John’s EV checklist, and I think this it’s because it’s carrying ICE “””baggage”””. 9 Oct 2026
- 💔 9 Oct 2026
- For apps that have scrolling horizontal items, like, say, the Home tab on Music.app, what do they do when the iPhone Duo inner display is slightly folded? Do they move content away from the valley/hinge, or just YOLO it? 8 Oct 2026
- Doing this stuff well is hard. Doing it well by yourself is hard as hell, and gets harder every day. Even when you do what you love, it’s still _work_ to do it well. For me, anyway. 29 Sept 2026 typo.social
- My body is ready. 😎 27 Sept 2026 social.ridetrans.it
- Why arr we finding it inconceivable that perhaps we DO want to run these things without authentication, and DO NOT want to set Allowed Hosts? Perhaps the security is happening further up the stack than you expect. Ugh. If you know, you know. And you’ve also updated recently. 22 Sept 2026
- I will keep banging this drum for as long as it takes. 21 Sept 2026 caseyliss.com
- “I understand _why_ getting these tools ready for developers takes time. But I think it’s a misstep from Apple to leave developers mostly hamstrung this long for such a big product launch.” — @lexfri 18 Sept 2026 lexontech.org
- There are several features in Callsheet that were either inspired by or requested by literally one person. Admittedly, they’re small features, but they’re features. Ask, and don’t be an asshole about it, and you’d be surprised what an indie dev is willing to do. 15 Sept 2026 hachyderm.io
- Apple people with prerelease hardware: in theory, the just-released TestFlight build supports iOS 27 resizing. I think? Anyway, if you’re an Apple person and we know each other, send me a DM/email and I’ll send you a TF link. I’m otherwise good on beta testers. 😊 14 Sept 2026
- There is so much goddamned extra chrome on the Device Hub. Snap judgement, but not a fan. (Yes, I’m behind on 27 stuff. I’m sorry.) 14 Sept 2026
- The Sonos app recently added a universal thing where you place two fingers on the display and rotate to adjust a virtual volume “dial”. It’s aces. Really really great work. 12 Sept 2026
- 😮💨 10 Sept 2026
- Holy God this is _perfect_. 5 Sept 2026 indiesimulator.com
- I think a lot of this is the developer’s fault, but, still, what am I supposed to do with this, Apple? I genuinely have no idea what app is asking to look at the local network. 28 Aug 2026
- @henrik Your request re: Plex → search history is in the next release. No ETA at this time though. 27 Aug 2026
- If I’m linking to a Substack article — or Medium — you know it’s worth it. I know this is very old news, but Dolly was a gift. 27 Aug 2026 heathercoxrichardson.substack.com

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
