2025-01-282025-01-28 Danie
Two Pebble watches side by side on a wooden surface. One shows something that looks like a colour test pattern, and the other shows the time as 4 19 with the date and day of the week.

Even with Big Tech themselves, once their own founders have moved on, a lot of the mojo is lost. They tend to buy up their competition rather than innovate, and drive, from the ground up. […]

Finally, You Can Automatically Block Spam Calls on Your iPhone: Too Late For Me Though

2025-01-222025-01-22 Danie
