RSS feeds vs daily emails

I’ve gone back to the tried and true Akregator for aggregating RSS feeds of blogs and news sites I want to follow without having to look at them all every day for new content.

I had honestly forgotten how easy to use and time-efficient a good RSS reader is. In many cases, it can be a good way of getting rid of the daily email updates that clog up the inbox. However, looking for RSS feeds on many sites shows that most newer sites don’t have one. Your only options are signing up for a newsletter or checking the sites regularly to look for new content.

New iPhone iOS installation

I see a lot of people worried about updating their iPhones to the latest iOS version. Fortunately, my phone is an iPhone8+ and is up to date with iOS16. 7.10.

Either those of us with older phones are further down the queue or we can’t install the latest iOS on this old hardware. Gives time to see what other people’s experiences are.
