“Hello There”

It took about 4 weeks of waiting and I finally binge-watched “Obi-Wan Kenobi” mini-series on Disney+.

SPOILER ALERT: It took the whole 6 episodes for Obi-Wan to utter his iconic phrase.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, the series, is the proper sequel to 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, also known as Star War The Third Gathers: The Backstroke of the West

Counting from 1999 film Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, that’s twenty-three year span of Ewan McGregor’s portrayal of Obi -Wan Kenobi. It is bitter sweet and full of memories.

As a fan of Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi series help me cope with the atrocious Sequel Trilogy. Don’t at me.

Um, what are you trying to tell me, Mint Mobile?

As Mint Mobile user, I received an email that says the following in the subject line:

Your 3G device will not be supported after 7/1

Umm, okay. Then in the email:

Your Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max has been identified as a 3G compatible device, but it is not compatible with 5G or 4G LTE bandwidths. Therefore, you will need to upgrade your phone to a 5G or 4G LTE compatible device before July 1, 2022.

Huh? You are really saying that iPhone 13 Pro Max are useless.

Warnception: Twitter Hellscape, Sensitive Content Edition.

For some reasons, Twitter has added the following to each and every post on @37prime account:

We put a warning on this Tweet because it
might have sensitive content. Appeal this
warning

Twitter
Twitter warning of sensitive content.

I do not get warning at all on my personal Twitter account. I wonder why Twitter suddenly flagged this account. Could it be a mistake or something else such as someone reporting 37prime to Twitter.

I took the screenshot above and posted it on Twitter. Knowing what I knew then, I expected Twitter to automatically put the same warning to the post. Boom there goes the sonic!

Tweet about getting a warning, gets a warning.

I “appealed” to Twitter regarding the warning on the original post and haven’t from them at the time of this post.

So, I took screenshot of the second post and made a tweet about it, expecting the warning to appear.

It’s a Warnception!

Yep, the warning is there. I could keep going on and on and on and on…

By the way, this post will be automatically tweeted, and most likely will get the same warning.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
