The Bulletin
​for 13th July, 2024

Hey there,

Apologies for releasing this email a little later than usual, it was a pretty long weekend and I didn't have access to my computer for a bit. I had a great little trip and I've got some exciting news to share from that which you'll get to hear about very soon. I promise.

Anywho, besides being blonde again, there's not much new going on in my life this week. I played a lot of Stardew Valley and Hi-Fi Rush, both of which are fantastic games. So instead of rambling on about that... how about we just jump right into this week's Bulletin?

Upcoming Events

Here's what's coming up for the month of July 2024!

• 20th July, 2024 from 10am-5pm, my mom will be at the Apple Barn Country Bake Shop once more for its annual Blueberry Festival!

If you'd like to follow my mom on Facebook, and get more up to date information outside of this newsletter, you can find her here: https://www.facebook.com/theodessadesigns/​

Things I found across the net...

Optimizing this week's links for speed.

• Filipe Espósito writes that Messages on Apple devices needs an 'Optimize Storage' option to delete the caches from the device. He's right!
• Good night, sweet prince. Google Play services will no longer be updated on devices running Android Lollipop (5.0), the version of Android that introduced the first iteration of Google's current design language Material Design (which is now at Material 3/You).
• AT&T has been breached, hackers have reportedly stolen phone numbers, as well as text and call logs of customers that occurred between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022. If you would like more information and/or were potentially affected, you can find more info on AT&T's website.

What I'm listening to...

I happen to listen to a lot of music. Here’s what I’m currently listening to—usually on repeat. Here’s what I’ve got for you, for the week of 13th July, 2024…

• ​My Boy Builds Coffins - Florence + The Machine
• ​hole in the bottle - Kelsea Ballerini
• ​What's Your Name?​ - Doechii
• ​THE DINER - Billie Eilish
• ​Lobby - Anitta & Missy Elliot
• ​Suddenly - Anna Calvi

Thanks to Odesli for making these links platform agnostic! For library stats, you can find me on last.fm.

And that's it for this week! Like I said, I have news, and I'm getting ready to share all of that with you very soon. We'll talk about it once we get there.

See y'all next week, hopefully at the Apple Barn on Saturday the 20th!

Have a great week,
Slade
