This sent me down a rabbit hole, listening to songs by Alicia Keys that she's released over the past 20 years.

The one that really got me, that I hadn't heard in over a decade, was You Don't Know My Name from the album she's talking about in this video. Along with If I Ain't Got You, a couple of truly timeless hits.

I'm aware of the Fallout games, but I've never played them. This reminds me of The Last Of Us but nuclear. Interested to see what this is like and lots of famous and familiar faces show up during the teaser.

This is a great ad for a feature that I bet a lot of people don't know about, although it doesn't specifically point out it needs to be one taken with depth information. Pre-iPhone 15 Pro, that was just a Portrait Mode photo but now the iPhone will detect these scenarios and capture the data anyway for manipulating later.

When the feature was announced alongside the iPhone 15 Pro, it came across as a feature for only that device but turns out it works retrospectively with photos that have the depth info. I tried on photos taken with the iPhone 8 Plus, which has Portrait Mode but no LiDAR sensor. Nothing changed there, but Portrait Mode photos on my iPhone 14 Plus worked a treat.

I know I'm asking for too much now, but it would be great if you could specify two points. Sometimes you want the depth of field at the back but the object is bulbous and so choosing a single spot doesn't cover the situation adequately and then adjusting the depth via the ƒ button just brings everything into focus when it's just a large subject you're trying to focus on.

I've been meaning to use this feature since iOS 17 came out. When it was announced at WWDC, I had some plans for the feature but not sure how/where you invoke it from so I've got some exploring to do!

Reebok was the first brand I was really aware of because of their affiliation with Liverpool FC from the mid 90s to the mid 2000s. Their relationship only ended after Adidas bought them out and took over the relationship.

I wasn't a big sneaker head, or particular cool when it came to fashion, but that football affiliation meant they were the first brand I brought something from.

Around 2003-05 they also entered into partnership with Pharrell Williams to create the Ice Cream brand. They were premium and limited which made them valuable.

It continues to be a dream of mine to electrify a Mercedes-Benz SEC. Nice to see other German cars from the same era are being giving upgrades.
