🔖 Bookmarked: What Really Happens to AirPods When They Die

“Apple finally opens up about their complicated afterlife”

For what it’s worth, my 2½ year old AirPods still charge and work fine, despite taking some abuse, and don’t show that much battery degredation. When the battery inievitably “dies” it’s good to know they can be recycled.

Night Mode with Mix Blend Mode: Difference

🔖 Bookmarked: Night Mode with Mix Blend Mode: Difference

”
## 🌚🌝
I came across the idea of _implementing night mode using_ `mix-blend-mode: difference` when I was preparing for my talk [This World Mixed and Blended](https://speak.wgao19.cc/slides/1904-mixed-and-blended) (these slides require color font support, i.e., FireFox / Safari). The original idea was only meant for a showcase and [the browser support is currently limited](https://caniuse.com/#search=mix-blend-mode).
Still, I implemented it to my dev blog and had a lot of fun. So this will be what this post is about. Meanwhile, as I thought more about it, it occurs to me now that this _can be_ a legit preferred way night mode is to be done. And let me share a bit about the intuition behind that as well.

Hat-tip to Jeremy and his write-up on IndieWebCamp Utrecht, for pointing me to this.

One of the more interesting aspects of Julia’s work is that while most of us in the room marvelled at her clever creations, not much of it was a surprise. That’s decidedly not the case for “the public”. Most of them, Julia said, were entertained by her work but thought it was a jolly good science fiction project, maybe a bit like Black Mirror. That it is real, they find truly shocking.
