If you missed but want to hear CNN‘s town hall with Kamala Harris, it is available as a podcast episode.
Well done, Apple.
The end of a 27-day streak.
“Checkmate.”

Find My iPhone saves the day. I won’t make the mistake of wearing AirPods while taking out the recycling again.
Local iOS and Mac developers, please join us Thursday for CocoaHeads Boston. The agenda includes:
- @danielpunkass giving a short preview of an upcoming talk.
- Me giving a presentation on the DeviceCheck API.
Trump inclined to declare national emergency if talks continue to stall – CNN
If he does, he should be impeached and removed from office for that alone. It could be his most blatant abuse of power. It should not require a special prosecutor to arrive at that conclusion.
Wishing a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my Micro.blog friends and RSS followers.
The Sundar Pichai Hearing Was a Major Missed Opportunity
#Later, Rep. Ted Lieu, also of California, carried all the weight for Pichai with a stunt that compared search results for Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) to results for Rep. King. He found that the results for Scalise mostly turned up stories about his book, while results for King mostly called him a bigot. “If you want positive search results, do positive things,” Lieu warned his colleagues, reserving almost no scrutiny for the man actually seated in the witness chair.
CocoaHeads Boston will meet this Thursday. @mitch will present “Adding MDM Configuration Support to iOS Apps”.
I did not think I would like Mojave’s Dark Mode, but after trying it for a few months I find Light Mode absolutely garish.
- Saturday: Call plumber because heat stopped working.
- Monday: Call plumber because water heater stopped working.
- Later Monday: Call National Grid because water heater repair created a gas leak.
Current status: no hot water.
Does anyone want to buy my house?
That feeling when you have to call a plumber to fix your gas water heater two days after you had a plumber at your house to fix your gas furnace.
I enabled cross-posting from Micro.blog to Mastodon.
I could not make it to this evening’s protests, but I am grateful for everyone who did show up to protest for the protection of the special counsel’s investigation.
There will be a nation-wide rapid response protest at 5:00 PM local time today.
The Boston event will be on the Boston Common.
Rapid response protests are happening across the country at 5pm local time Thursday.
Well, that (relatively) good feeling didn’t last long. Trump fired Jeff Sessions.
According to this Trump Is Not above the Law page, this is “one step short of the break glass moment” that would trigger a rapid response protest.
I released Unread and Feed Hawk updates to support the 2018 iPad Pro.
The Unread update required some design tweaks. The traditional layout would have put the title label right under the home indicator, and the iPhone X layout would have looked silly on such a wide device.
CNN reports that Stacey Abrams is not conceding yet. It’s a long shot, but the numbers are close and Kemp pulled numerous stunts in an effort to suppress votes. She is right to make sure all the votes are counted.
Not a perfect election night, but we got a House of Representatives interested in fulfilling its duty to hold the executive branch accountable.
Happy to see Elizabeth Warren win by a huge margin. She was running against Geoff Diehl, who was Trump’s Massachusetts campaign co-chair in 2016.
Bad news: ABC is calling it for Cruz.
