 @096d2c53 There's so much voodoo going on in Intents, sometimes I'm scared to know. 
 @096d2c53 Pretty sure that's a no, because these are (or at least can be) extracted by the static analyzer. 
 Fun Tip: The Shortcut I use to open @drafts straight to dictation is called "Captain's Log", so I can just hit the Siri button and say “Captain's Log”, then start dictating.

 That’s my dad at a luncheon today celebrating his 60th anniversary working for IBM. Yes. 60. If you benefit from a service that relies on mainframes (like VISA, or FedEx), he’s probably been somehow involved at some point.

 @096d2c53 Yea, I hadn't tried since USB-C days, so I guess it's old info. 
 I'm kinda excited for the fact that USB-C on iPhones means we can output video from it much easie... 
 @096d2c53 You think that will work with any of the streaming apps? I used to have the video adapter for the iPad and all the streaming apps (Netflix, etc.) blocked it from working intentionally. 🤷‍♂️ 
 Literal transcription of local news anchors banter about the Apple Event:

A: Do you think we should update?

B: I’ve read blogs saying maybe wait until next year on the Watch.

A: I love my iWatch!

B: You also love your iPhone 7. 
 Always love a “Your app is great! But it would be perfect if you let me use [insert pro feature] in the free version!” email on a Monday morning.

Perhaps you’d also like me to bring you breakfast in bed? How do you like your eggs? 
 I’m happy for the people that learn best through video content, because this is their time. If you want to research product decisions by reading, the internet is basically useless right now.
