    Disney announces price increases to streaming products

    Just notified today they are bumping up my rates on October 27, 30 days earlier than I agreed to last year. Looks likely I will be going without Disney for a while.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    My blue model is in a case so no way the back can be scratched. As was mentioned in the other thread, the most lengthy part of this was signing back into all my apps with 2 factor authorization.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    Oh, my complaint about the Mail app is on the iPad, not the iPhone.

    Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

    I upgraded all my stuff and haven't noticed any performance issues. I do find the new behavior of the delete function in the Mail app mildly annoying.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Finished last night. The wedding and Holodeck episodes stunk but the remainder was simply ok. Had high hopes for this show when it first came out. Hasn’t really worked out.
