Mmm, been getting a lot of annoying heat issues with the iPhone lately. The back has been getting rather hot. Several times a day, it’ll get annoyingly hot despite me not doing anything demanding. My usual reaction is to turn off wi-fi and turn on low power mode. That remedies the heat.

Looking at Battery in settings, 'Notes' has used 46% of the battery in the last ten days despite five other apps being used for longer, several of them far longer. It specifies Widget and Background Activity (16m on screen, 1hr 30m background). Next time things flare up I will toggle wi-fi and low power mode individually to try and narrow down the cause (low power mode turns off background activity I think). I can always stop using the widget but I might not be able to do much about 'Notes' background activity because I’ve already eschewed iCloud for it. What background activity could it be doing when all notes are stored on device?

It can improve tinned peas…

Why can’t the phone make a note of how I’m orientating the phone when taking a photo and tag the photo with that so it’s displayed correctly?

Does anyone actually give their lover a card that says 'to my partner'?

Jazz music is so pretentious.

Disagree? Given that Russian authors, musicians and trees have been cancelled, it looks like racist hate rather than disagreement. But yeah, I was surprised it was on the telly….

Just watched a Russian sci-fi film that was released in 2020. It’s set in the Soviet Union in the nineteen-eighties. A cosmonaut returns to our world with an alien inside him. The alien comes out of the man’s body sometimes, usually at night. The cosmonaut is retained at a government installation in the Kazakhstan desert for security and studying. The question is, 'is the relationship between cosmonaut and alien parasitic or have they become fully symbiotic, and can the alien and cosmonaut be separated without harm?' Sputnik means fellow traveller. Decent film.
