"To avoid nicks, scratches and other unwanted ill effects, Apple advises users to store Apple Card in a wallet, pocket or soft bag away from hard objects and other cards."

Just how does #Apple think people swipe credit cards? Even for the chip enabled POS machines, you have to insert the card into a slot which is definitely not made of soft materials. Its not like every merchant accepts Apple Pay. Most do but not all.

I find it hard to believe that the Apple Card is as delicate as they say.

If anything, the association with Marvel lifted the #Spiderman franchise with Tom Holland. It fit nicely into the Marvel Universe. It could tap into the relationship between Tony Stark and Peter Parker. Spideman's (Tom Holland version) quips and wits brought a certain levity that was similar to the comic book Spiderman I know and love.

Would it ever be the same with Marvel out of the picture?

Discovered the webcam at Abbey Road, London and I am unduly fascinated by the tourists attempting to capture a piece of history for themselves. I can't explain why I find this amusing.

All set to import the workspace back and watch it break. 😅

So.. what kind of hardware should I be looking into if I plan to self host Git, RSS, Blog, Notes, Photos,
Contacts, Calendar, Bookmarks and Password Manager on yunohost? Is a Raspberry Pi 3 with 128 GB card more than enough? My main concern is with filling up the SD card with photos and then running out of space.

I want to do email eventually but not sure about my ISPs stance on port 25.

Is Freedombox better as the connection goes through VPN? Can I have that setup on yunohost?

All the fix it needed was a machine restart.. SMH.

Why prime lenses are better than zoom.

Zoom lenses are better than prime. Read to know why.

Put down the camera. Be in the moment.

Why gear doesn't matter. Read this 5000 word blurb by the photographer who always carry the latest in the market in medium format.

Why I switched to Sony from Canon/Nikon and never looked back.
