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.
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.
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 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.
It started with a text at 6:21 am on Saturday morning.
Please fix, possibly today. (Referring to an iPhone 11 Pro with broken screen.)

First I thought I should rent Apple Self Service Repair kit (https://selfservicerepair.com/), but t needed to be done today. So I made an appointment with Apple Genius Bar.
Even though it was a Saturday, my schedule was not surprisingly full. I was working on one MacBook Pro failing to start. At the same time, I was trying to figure out why Microsoft Outlook on a particular Windows PC kept crashing.
A few emails and texts came in for appointments. I also was tasked to pick up a birthday present at a particular retailer. It was indeed a busy Saturday.
I went in to the Apple Store 5 minutes before my appointment, and promptly seated at the Genius Bar. Finding out that the AppleCare+ had already expired, I knew it was going to be an expensive repair; $279 Out if Warranty repair vs $29 with AppleCare+.

Knowing this I made a call to get confirmation for the pricing so I can proceed with the repair; it was approved.

One hour later I went back to the Apple Store to pick up the the iPhone 11 Pro, with new screen. I paid $279 + Sales Tax and went on to my next destination.
Iron Maiden’s seventeenth studio album, “Senjutsu” (Japanese: 戦術) is scheduled for release worldwide on September3, 2021. Two songs off the album, “The Writing on the Wall” and “Stratego”, were released as singles ahead of the a release date.
As fan of Iron Maiden, I couldn’t wait to hear the album. Luckily, thanks to something called “digital music”, I would be able to listen to them on the eve of the release date. I had also preordered the physical album which is scheduled for delivery a bit later than September 3.
