This fucking code 491348 is one of those things I somehow always manage to forget before I ever need it, again, and - naturally - is somehow not fucking documented anywhere but this support page, that I’ve ever been able to find. Open Things 3. Go to Settings. Tap General → Diagnostics → Enter Code. Enter the code `491348` Tap Send Things Database. The file you’re getting is called `Things Database.

Comment byu/dkmj01 from discussion inpodcast There's a tedious way to do it, but it worked for me: •Open the podcast using the Apple Podcast app (I used an iPhone with the latest iOS, didn’t try earlier versions or desktop app) •Play the podcast and click the circle with three dots inside it, select “View Transcript” •Now the entire transcript displays on your iPhone. Select and copy a large chunk of text.

What today’s tech journalism must learn again from the legendary computer publication. This is a very much unfinished bit I began writing in November 2020 and just found in my Dropbox Paper archive. Long-dead BYTE Magazine gained some exposure this time last year when some of its gorgeous retro-futurist cover art - of Robert Tinney’s hand - circulated about Tumblr and Pinterest. It is fucking beautiful, yes, but I was then quite disappointed to find little in the way of the publication’s actual content available on the web.

I was so charmed by this film that I made myself wait two days after watching it at 2AM to write this so as to make sure all that I felt wasn’t just due to … the hour.

Its truth (for me): guns are just this bizarre, fundamentally anti-social, and dangerous obsession that have no place in civilization.
The student project that eventually became Google—a “crawler” that would ingest documents and rank them for relevance against a user’s query—was actually conceived as part of an effort “to develop the enabling technologies for a single, integrated and universal digital library.”
This wee truth of Google’s origin story - which I did not know - is going to weigh on me for who knows how long.
The three genders.
