I don’t know how this keeps happening, but it feels like the Bluetooth stack on Android gets a little worse every release. Now with Android R, it takes a good 3-5 seconds since turning on my headphones before the audio is routed to them.

I’ve only just realised that the Victorian CHO Twitter account includes a daily Covid-19 case breakdown report. The Twitter client is such a mess so I’m trying out the Feedbin Twitter integration to get these. If it’s any better, I might add some more.

After reading the recent news articles, along with hearing what the founder prioritises, it’s looking like Nikola is just another money grab a. la. WeWorks. Here’s hoping it doesn’t poison the well for non-petroleum transportation companies. arstechnica.com/cars/2020/09/n…

Good news is hard to come by recently, and the Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne are anything but easy. But seeing 21 new cases yesterday, and 14 new cases today, the lowest in 3 months, is encouraging. Lets see how this last week of Stage 4 restrictions go.

@jamesthomson I love how the copy implies that the errors are your fault.
Now that we’re allowed to venture outside a bit more, I’d like to start my lunchtime walks again. However, the sun is starting to intensify so I’ll have to start wearing a hat again. This means my headphone situation will need to change.

I wonder if Oracle’s first change to TicToc, should they ever buy it, would be to add 5 different screens asking the user to sign up to “TicToc Enterprise” whenever they want to watch a video, and the only way around each one is a tiny link at the … lmika.org/2020/09/09/i-w…
