My daughter smashed the screen of my series 4 Apple Watch last weekend. For a moment I thought about if I needed another one and decided to order a new one; the timers on it is awesome while cooking and it has a lot of features that are crucial to my weight loss and workout routine.

I decided to get a Series 7, and I went with the smaller model this time. The size of this one feels a lot better than when I had the other one. The battery life have kind of been not that great, so I have tried to turn off the “always on” feature.

Other than that it feels like the same of what I had just with a lot of stuff working a little bit faster and better. Like the exercise detection etc.

Going to write a proper review once I’ve used it for a while.

As a white cis man I consider it a win when I shut up and leave the space for someone else

When your 2.5 year old tell you to sit the fuck down and not bother her 😂

Are you fucking me?! There is a new MacBook Pro with that damn Touch Bar?!

I have been postponing this for way too long already.

A while back I ended my automatic like posting system, because it just had become this anything barley interesting are added to the queue so that I have 10 posts to post each day. But it also kind of broke a lot. Something I didn’t notice because I was mostly just not following it that closely.

The plan now is that I will take all the likes I accumulate. Take the interesting ones, group them and post ~5 groups of ~10 links once in a while; will most likely be more like 50 links that a strict 5x10 links.

It will most likely be a weekly thing.

Imagine if people got a notification every time I was thinking: what a fucking moron
