It seems that the nVidia GPU in my 2012 MacBook Pro 15” Retina is failing fast. Screen goes black, Kernel panic reported from GPU. Somewhat common issue with that laptop. I was planning to upgrade but was hoping to make it to October’s new machines!

Have all my relevant Apple devices upgraded to iOS 12, watchOS 5 and related device OS versions. 👍🏻
Time it took AT&T to fix my iPhone Xs upgrade order today: 97 minutes.
Time it took my barber to cut my hair: 9 minutes.
iPhone Xs 256GB Space Grey ordered! 🛒
The iPhone Xs is going to be a great upgrade from my iPhone 7. 📱 The Apple Watch Series 4 is enough of a jump to make me consider upgrading my Series 3. ⌚️
I made a Workflow in iOS that pulls a specific budget amount for me from YNAB’s API, then added it to my Today Widget. Super quick access to data. Will be fun to make this a Siri Shortcut!
30% of the total space on my MacBook’s SSD is being used by iOS backups of my iPhone and iPad. ☹️
I’m looking forward to attaching a Siri Shortcut of “Hey Siri, Loons Win!” to this Workflow in iOS 12. 😊⚽️📱
Took my Canon 5D Mark II with the 70-200 f/2.8L to Tyler’s baseball game today. Good reminder of how far iPhone photography has to go. 📷
My productivity geek wish for tomorrow’s WWDC event is to learn what Apple had in mind when it bought Workflow. 🤓
