I spent too long setting up Personalised Spatial Audio after upgrading to iOS 16 on my iPhone. Apple expects you to scan your ears and follow instructions when you can’t see what’s on the screen…. Tip: use screen mirroring.

Listening to FM, the new offering from Ryan Adams. I’ve been a fan since I first heard Heartbreaker, released in 2000, and I think he’s on top form with the new album. 🎢

Finished reading: The Larmenius Inheritance by John Paul Davis πŸ“š
