Notes from my week.
- I watched the Apple California Streaming event to see the new iPhones. My wife and I are using 6-year-old iPhones 6s, and we need to upgrade soon.
- After trying and failing to get my Logitech Performance MX mouse working on my M1 MacBook, I broke down and bought a new Logitech MX Master 3. It seems to work much, much better.
- When first connecting my new mouse via Bluetooth, the software told me there is an issue with Bluetooth connectivity and FileVault. Logitech’s proposed solution is to disable FileVault, which seems like terrible advice. I decided to just use the included unifying receiver instead.
- I spent a bit of time this week watching a few of the Nuxt Nation conference talks.
- I planted grass in my back yard again this past weekend. Hopefully, the third time’s the charm.
