Maybe it’s time to cancel HBO Max Subscription

HBO Max has been “cracking down” on account sharing for quite sometimes now. I first got the message some months ago, even though I technically did not share my account. I do however watch HBO Max at the office, where I have an Apple TV.

I also occasionally watch HBO Max at a home office at my friend’s house which we often do work on.

In addition to that I also use my iPad and iPhone to watch some HBO Max.

Apparently HBO Max system is flagging my account as being shared.

HBO Max, warning to subscribe to keep watching.

The worst part is now I kept getting this message whenever I’m launching HBO Max app at home.

Maybe it’s time to cancel the subscription.

Friends of Bear Cat Rescue

I had been following Friends of Bear Cat Rescue for more than a year now.

It started with a post about a kitten named Wonton, who fell off a window from a 5-story building and in need of emergency surgery. Throughout Wonton’s recovery, I learned more about Friends of Bear Cat Rescue and its founder Haley. I have soft spots for animals, such as cats and I fell in love with what Haley’s been doing.

Go to Friends of Bear Cat Rescue and help them if you can.

April 1, 2026 Update

Fighting the urge to slack all day and sleep all night, we actually made a few updates on this site.

Updated the tagline, site logo, page headers, etc.

We’re also excited about Artemis II mission to the Moon. Once again, human can litter the only Earth’s Satellite.

We also would like to reiterate that April Fool’s Day is cancelled again this year.

Until the next post!

Nothing is funny anymore since our timeline has been trolling us on daily basis for at least the past decade, or even longer.

Are we living in the alternate timeline???

Firefox Built-in VPN

Use built-in VPN in Firefox

To use VPN, you need to sign in with a Mozilla account. If you’re eligible, you’ll see a prompt in the Firefox toolbar inviting you to set up the feature.

I haven’t gotten the prompt yet, so that means my account is not yet eligible for the Firefox Built-in VPN.

One question: Is the traffic data going to be used to train Firefox AI?

MacBook Neo: Day One

I picked up an Indigo MacBook Neo at an Apple Store earlier today.

Unfortunately the amount of workload I have today at the office prevented me from even unsealing the box. We are switching our backend service on our system, and it took priority.

I opted to get the 512GB Storage with Touch ID. I can’t imagine using any MacBooks without Touch ID these days.

MacBook Neo Specs, Indigo, 512GB storage

I’ll post more about this MacBook Neo, which I’d probably name “Keanu”.
