The Bulletin​
​for 8th June, 2024

Well,

It has certainly been quite the week. Chaotic, busy, stressful, you name it -- I've probably experienced that feeling. But all-in-all, I think it was a fairly good week. At least for the most part.

We unfortunately had to pack up early due to inclement weather from the Cambridge Valley Balloon Festival (we weren't the only ones!), but not to worry, there are two more (smaller) events you can catch my mom at. Those are below in the usual spot.

As for me, I've been fielding emails and texts and everything in between pretty much all week, so I'm feeling kind of out-of-whack. Going to send this off and get a little bit of rest. Here's hoping I feel better tomorrow!

Going to be watching WWDC24 with Adam, so that'll be a blast! Looking forward to it! We watched the 7th May event (iPad Air/Pro/Apple Pencil Pro) together, so we're continuing the tradition by watching Dub Dub together too. I'm so excited!! :D

Anyways, on to your Bulletin for this week...

Upcoming Events

On 15th June, my mom will be at the Schaghticoke Strawberry Festival at the Fairgrounds from 10am-3pm. This one's a shorter event, so keep that in mind. Barring anything else, I should be attending this event with my mom. However, you should still stop by if you're in the area!

On 22nd June, my mom will be at the Vermont Paws & Boots 2nd Annual Fundraiser event from 10am-4pm. Similarly to the last one, I can't confirm whether or not I'll be able to attend this one yet or not, so stay tuned. But if you're in the area, stop by 89 Colgate Heights (Camelot Village), Bennington, VT, and help support an important group's mission on that Saturday!

There are no events on the 29th or 30th of June. There are events coming up in July, which will be included in a future Bulletin.

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...

WWDC is this coming week!! (Keynote is 10am PT/1pm ET on Apple.com)

• From the lovely folks at MacRumors, everything that has been rumoured to be announced on stage at Dub Dub.
• Google's Magic Editor, originally exclusive to Pixel 8/8 Pro models, is now widely rolling out to all Google Photos users. Anyone with a Google Pixel or who subscribes to Google One plans with 2TB or more of storage will get unlimited edits. Everyone else will only get 10 Magic Editor saves a month.
• ​Disney's Confluence server was breached, with the attackers stealing around 2.5GB of the company's internal data. This included character sheets for the now-defunct Club Penguin, as well as advertising plans, internal development tools/software, as well as information on Disney+ and the company's strategies.
• I missed this last week somehow, despite being an Android user, but Google has made it so you can pester people you know and ask them to buy apps for you on the Play Store! Currently this feature is only available in India, but I suspect it'll roll out relatively quickly elsewhere.

That's all I have for you this week. I know it was somewhat shorter than usual, but to be honest, it was a fairly quiet week! I like the quiet, though!

I'll see you next week for more stuff.

All the best,
Slade
