Probably! The boys haven’t made any acknowledgement of it yet tho!

Ototoy – the Japanese music store – posted the song on Tues 18th, the link started being shared around Gizz fans early morning Fri 21st (Naarm time), then pretty soon after it got pulled.

When the website was still live you needed to be located in Japan to buy it (or use a VPN) so some people skipped on it, not realising it was a mistake and expecting a European/USA release when it became Friday there. Oops.

Speculating wildly, p(doom) has probably been uploading it to different music services in advance of its release date, but either Ototoy or the uploader messed up and it went public early on their site.

Hopefully the band just release it next Friday. It’s a great song!

I’m just gonna leave this here

I remember posting this and thinking that surely that couldn’t be right, surely they wouldn’t only play Deni, surely they’d do something in Naarm…

…but yeah, 2024, the first year Gizz didn’t play a show in Melbourne in their entire existence.

Be free.

What is a hard drive registry? Or: a properly managed Mac can’t be bricked by a user 🤷🏻

Such a disingenuous headline. The article outlines how pre-2012 Mac can’t support Metal, which breaks a bunch of stuff.

An aside: A few years ago, I used OCLP to install Monterey on my old (Early 2013) MacBook Pro 13”. It was fine, until one day it just stopped booting. It wasn’t hardware: Wiped it, reinstalled Catalina, still worked fine. It’s a fun toy to play with, but I wouldn’t want to be depending on it for anything important.

This doesn’t really help, but it’s not just you.

Edit: Oh, wait, this article is specifically about USB-C chargers. Still odd yours isn’t working with USB-A!

How to replace the battery in your AirTag

CR2032 batteries with bitterant coatings might not work with AirTag or other battery-powered products, depending on the alignment of the coating in relation to the battery contacts.

It’s not a feature, but it’s by design.

Ah, sexism is alive and well in tech.

Sure, but the gaming situation is no worse than before the Apple silicon switch. You mentioned a reduced software library, but Rosetta 2 can run pretty much any Intel-only app at speeds comparable (or faster) to the last-gen of Intel Macs. This isn’t like the transition in 2005!

Besides, we’re three years into the switch, almost all non-game apps are Universal now.

A Mac is never going to be the greatest gaming machine, but an M-series MacBook is still preferable to an Intel one. For instance, Civ VI via Rosetta runs better on my M1 MacBook Pro than it did on my previous i7.

Safari on iOS supports extensions. Chrome on Android does not. But hey, keep telling yourself that Google are better than Apple at this.

Brave is awful.

No crying required, you can use something like NextDNS for DNS level ad blocking on iOS, and there are plenty of Safari extensions to help with this stuff.

I use 1Blocker for ads, Hush to block cookie notices, and Unobstruct to remove persistent overlays as needed. While we’re at it, Noir adds dark mode support to every webpage, StopTheMadness prevents websites doing hostile things (such as preventing copy and paste), and PiPifier makes every web video support picture in picture mode.

15 years ago was Micro-USB, which was awful.

The replies throughout this entire post are incredible. You are exactly right, yet downvoted for it.

iPhone was announced January 2007 and released in June. The phone you’re linking to was released September 2008.

What was your point again?

Saving you a click – the article is just empty waffle around this Gurman tweet: “I would guess that the Zeiss prescription lenses for the Vision Pro will be at least $300-600 a pair, unless Apple is eating part of the cost given the already high price of the headset itself.”
