    So is getting an ultrasound live on the stage. This is pretty incredible: Results can be viewed on a smartphone. Good news: “I can safely say you don’t have any plaque in your arteries.”

    Nice to see mouse support for iPads finally available in iOS13. For anyone out there using the iPad for graphics, this is a really nice option for certain types of fiddly work.

    Casual reminder that YouTube won’t turn off its recommendation algorithm on videos of children despite ample evidence those videos form a content network for pedophiles. Why? Because it simply does not give enough of a shit.
