  • Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.

    There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.




  • I watched the first three episodes of the recently released Percy Jackson series.

    The book series was a big part of my childhood, and I was mildly excited for the TV series (read: hoped that it was better than the film series).

    I’m still debating if I should finish the TV series. I found a particular detail in the third episode that convinced me that I am not the show’s target audience:

  • A few days ago, I watched Total Recall (1990) for the first time. There are quite a few moments that just sent me into fits of laughter (e.g., Johnnycab and “two weeks”). These funny moments are offset by the seriousness of the Venusville plot and the film’s exposition of Mars.

    One thing that did take me out of the film briefly was when Arnie’s character breaks out of his restraints (in the third act) by simply brute force because he is so jacked.
