I’ve decided to give Chrome another go to see how MV3 fares when compared to MV2 in Firefox and the bespoke content blocking API that Apple uses in Safari (they are adding declarative net request but still trails in functionality when compared to the implementation on Chrome or Firefox). I have to prefix this by…

Weekends go so quickly – I wish I had a three day weekend because the first day off one is recovering from work which only leaves one day to actually do something. I’m still deciding whether I should go into the office or work from home – if I go into work I’ll have to…

Apple has released updates to all their platforms today and part of that involves a huge number of security fixes that came through (link) with quite a few updates for Webkit and Safari. On my iPhone 15 Pro Max the modem firmware was updated from 1.60.02 to 1.70.02 along with the firmware of both Macs…

I have finally uploaded all my photos – I was going to use the Google Photos but I found it easier to share it using Apple Photos since I have everything integrated into the Apple ecosystem – I’ve now got 2TB on iCloud so I might as well use it. I’ve got two albums –…

I should have posted it yesterday when I did arrive back in New Zealand but I was so exhausted after almost 32 hours of non stop travel (including the waiting at London, Dubai and Brisbane). I did sleep on the plane but the sleep was horrible with the constant waking up, the uncomfortable chair (I…

I left home on on Monday so I could chill out a few hours at the Qantas lounge – a nice way to start a long trip. I’m of two minds when it comes to planning a long trip – do you have a single flight and be in the air for 20+ hours or…
