Picked some quinces and pears over the weekend. Bonus: Olive climbing a tree.

All communication software should let a person enter a time in their timezone, implicitly or explicitly, and automatically convert that into the timezone of the reader in their interface. Especially if it was entered explicitly. This should be standard.

iPhone 11 Pro camera is too fast for the LEDs on my gym machines, so I had to use a new feature to get my usual photo
Part of my gym routine involves using a treadmill. And each time after I complete that, I take a photo of the readout.
This morning I took one with my new iPhone 11 Pro and got the following photo.
As you can see, parts of the readout were invisible or clipped. I think it is because the speed of the default camera app in those conditions is just too fast in comparison to the refresh rates on that LED readout. The cameras can go really fast with shutter speeds, but there’s a lot of computational photography involved, so the final composite shutter speed may vary.
Luckily I noticed this right away, and decided to use the new “night mode” feature which allows you to effectively slow down the shutter speed while maintaining stability. And that got me the following photo.
Phew! This is readable.
P.S. For details on the new camera capabilities, check out this great article by Halide.

Macmillan wants to limit readers’ access to new eBook titles through libraries. This is not only harmful to public libraries, but is also exceedingly dumb. I end up buying about half of the eBooks I borrow from my library. Please sign the petition: ebooksforall.org

And the award for the shittiest dialog box ever on iOS goes to…
For context, this is on my iPhone X which is running iOS 12.4.

Biking along the mountains in the Grand Teton National Park was absolutely breathtaking.
A vibration like the speaker one that spits out the water in the Apple Watch, but for lint out of the Lightning port.
If people in the iPhone supply/delivery chain decide to join in on the climate strike and I get my new iPhone later than expected, I’m totally fine with that 🖖
