I am always Ash. Always.
Wifey got me the leather band for Apple Watch and I love it! Pairs perfectly with Count Up dial (or any “classical” dial).
My old Apple AirPods (not the pro ones, and not the newest ones) are already quickly dying on battery but this time I’m looking at Nothing Ear Sticks or Ear (or whatever they’re called) and I think it’s going to be fine using not-Apple headphones? Bose QC45 made my mind more open to alternatives.

Ok, had bolognese pasta Huel today and I’m sold. I like everything I’ve got, I’m definitely gonna try some different flavours next time but it’s good. It’s really good.

Just had my first Huel meal. I have to admit - it’s really autism friendly (at least for me!). Had this Mexican chilli instant meal and it was really fine, I can see myself having this an unhealthy amount of times in a week.

If anyone wants ~free money~ to spend on Huel, just use my link.
People complaining about Google killing next product they have used, meanwhile you can literally use a product, pay for it and don’t worry about it actually going away.

I moved my personal browsing to Safari (it makes easy for me to divide then my two workspaces to work and personal).
But then Safari counting tabs and telling me THE TRUTH isn’t that welcome!

Kagi Search Changelog:
Nov 30, 2023 - Quality of life improvements
Interesting development in my life - I’m reading a changelog for a search engine that I’m paying for.
I’m still reading all of new App Default’s and whenever I see someone using Chrome it feels weird. I know people are using Chrome, I know it works fine, but it’s always surprise to see Chrome and not Safari, Firefox or something on Chromium.

Firefox on the brink? | BryceWray.com:
Once Firefox slips below the 2% threshold in the government’s visitor analytics, USWDS tells government web devs they don’t have to support Firefox anymore.
The biggest surprise for me was how popular Safari actually is.
Report: Threads expanding to Europe in December:
Meta’s Twitter competitor, Threads, has slowly found its own spot in the social media space and, soon, may seen an even bigger expansion as the platform is reportedly coming to Europe in December.
I wonder how popular is it actually going to be.
