While working on numerous hard drives, I found an iPhone screenshot of 37Prime.com from October 14, 2008. Well, the screenshot was actually taken on October 18, 2008.
The page featured the new Unibody Aluminum MacBook Pro.
I was going through numerous hard drives that I stored and found a lot of photos from 2006 through 2009. One of them was taken on November 14, 2009 at Micro Center in Tustin, California.
It’s a photo of Firefox 3 CD, priced at $2.99 (USD). If you were having trouble downloading Mozilla Firefox off the Internet, this CD might have been really useful.
Today, Apple released Developer OS 27 Beta 3 for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS. Did I miss any? Oh yeah, there’s watchOS.
As usual, I’m crazy enough to install these Beta Operating Systems on my main devices. Previous two beta releases had their own share of issues and I’m hoping its third iteration would be much more stable.
Some time ago, I wrote a lot about Apple Beta releases here. Then, there was this thing called “job” that took most of my time and energy, thus rendering me into a much more efficient slacker in my off time. Instead of paying attention to this site, I spent my time trying to relax and dealing with daily stress.
Anyway, since there’s a huge change in my daily routine, I might be motivated to write more here; however irrelevant the contents would be.
Anyway, what was I writing about? Apple Beta releases.
iOS 27 Beta 3 now enables new Siri Voice customization.
I have yet to further explore the new features in iOS 27 Beta (and the other OSes).
Note: I was having issues with Apple CarPlay in Beta 1 and 2. I’d certainly find out soon enough if the problem persists in Beta 3.
Well, that’s it for now.
It is June 26, 2026 and Metallica’s ReLoad (Remastered) is officially released.
It comes in:
Note: My copy was delivered yesterday, and I found a slug munching on the box.
It’s time for me to get lost in the ReLoad moments. I saw Metallica on the “Poor ReTouring Me” tour back in 1998.
According to the big online retailer, the 2x32GB KIT sells for over $700.
I don’t remember how much I paid for it. Definitely a lot less.
UPDATE: Add photo of LIMITED EDITION HELL AWAITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY “BLOOD” FILLED VINYL sticker, close-up.
It is a day early and Metal Blade Records delivered Slayer – Hell Awaits (40th Anniversary Edition – Vinyl Box) earlier.
In addition to the Vinyl Box Set, the CD version is also available in Earbook format.
Slayer Store is sold out of the LIMITED EDITION HELL AWAITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY “BLOOD” FILLED VINYL. According to Slayer, this format is limited to just 666 units worldwide.
I might be late to the scene, but still I am so stoked about immich, a “Self-hosted photo and
video management solution”.
I’ve just finished installing Immich (styled as immich) on a test server with proper domain name and SSL certificate. It’s a fairly underpowered server with minimal amount of RAM, which at this point is not cost effective to upgrade thanks to the rising prices.
