My unscientific feeling is that playing fires up brain centers for vision, hearing, motor control, memory, cognition, emotion, sympathy (with the composer) ... the whole nine yards.

It's a whole brain workout in my opinion. Plus the physical aspect.


I am reminded of the 2001 movie "Antitrust" in which a fictitious company NURV creates a fictitious product, Synapse, a worldwide media distribution network.

That is all. Cheers.


Thank goodness, that could never happen here!

Wait ... it did.


Does anyone remember when computers were supposed to work for us? It seems that we are working for them.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. [0]

I do not consent to the machine as God machina ut deus

Never forget that these machines are an amalgam of inputs, the exact opposite of what makes me an individual. I get to choose and create meaning based on my unique knowledge, experiences, thought processes and emotions --- Not everyone else's.

I am looking forward to a CA constitutional challenge. I suspect that people have been sufficiently hoodwinked that a petition drive and vote would fail.

I wanted a full size keyboard that is lighted for visibility, like laptop keyboards. No thanks, Apple. I am using a Logitech now. I really wanted a wired keyboard for instant keyboard recognition on startup, but the USB-C port is for charging only. It seems to turn off the backlighting in daylight, so I leave if charging all the time and restart the keyboard when it does.

Another example of equipment designed for people 25 years old and younger.


Let me swipe type "and"

Andrew and's abs and abs abs and Andrew and Andrew and Ann's abs.

This is swipe typing on ios 18.x

I repeatedly typed abs, correct that, abs, correct that, ands, correct that abs, correct that abs, correct that abs, correct that abs, correct that, ands, correct that, ands, correct that, abs, correct that ands, correct that ands, correct that ands, correct that ands, correct that ands .., I frickin give up.

How could the most common word be so butchered? Other words come out fine, as this post attests.

I have turned off every automation of typing that I could find, because some of the substitutions that the software made on my typing were brutal.

Still, Hell will freeze over before I downgrade to ios 26.


I installed the public beta of the RC release.. was able to swipe type "Andrew and Andrew and Andrew" successfully.

And I'm a hard core iOS typing hater.

They might've figured it out.


On the other hand, I encourage the Gates' and Bezos' of this world to divorce. Their ex-wives have been very generous.

Go for it, billionaires! All that excess isn't making you happier [0]

I leave the case of the man with 8 or more wives (or baby mamas) to legal eagles.
