Sleep 0700 to 1600. (9 hours)

• For a few weeks was wondering what this "1 message unread" flag in my Discord DMs since I couldn't find it. Turns out it was the Nitro tab with an holiday offer.

• Instagram asking me for a phone number so it can send sms verification code. Can't get around it. This will probably be used for marketing, if only to tie in this account to other accounts. Token authentication like Authy is more privacy friendly (though I guess Authy also needs a phone number but only having it in one place is better than multiple places).

Sleep 0430 to 1030. 30 min nap. (6-1/2 hours)

• iPhone is too annoying and kind of useless since I have to keep it plugged in all the time. I guess the worst will be that I can't use it grocery shopping and paying with Apple Pay.
• Ordered an iPhone SE 128 GB with AppleCare ($558). Using Apple Card Monthly Installments. You are charged for tax/shipping immediately and the installments charge on last day of the month (don't know if this month is first charge or next month).
• Looking at benchmarks iPhone SE (3rd gen) will be 3x faster CPU, 6x faster Metal, and about 15% slower than an iPhone 14. Even compared to my iPad Pro 10.5" the iPhone SE (3rd gen) is about twice as fast.
• Oh, theoretically I can use my Apple Watch for Apple Pay (does not require Internet connection). Have never tried it.

• Won first two fantasy football s2 playoff games. Now it's me against last year's champion for the title. It's a two week playoff, which I guess is to reduce variance. He does have the better team but I can get a bit lucky.

Sleep 0200 to 1100. (9 hours)

• New iPhone arrived. When you start it up next to your old iPhone they both prompt if you want to do a transfer so I'm doing that.
• Anyways, old iPhone connected to my Mac via monitor USB hub doesn't show up properly on my Mac (it lists it but you go into it and it's blank). So I couldn't do a latest backup (last backup was a week ago and doing direct transfer so shouldn't matter).
• After an hour transfer is done. New iPhone seems to be working fine and is a little harder to use one-handed. No audio port which I forgot about but I rarely used my old iPhone with wired headphones.
• It's not connecting to my Mac and step two of "If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone or iPad" is to update OS (iPhone came with 16.1.1 so update that; there is also a macOS 13.1 update I need to install).
• After macOS update it can see the new iPhone now. Or maybe it only needed a reboot.

• Bought DDO Isle of Dread Ultimate edition on 25% sale so it was $98. It just came out last June so I wasn't expecting it to go on sale until next Thanksgiving so too tempting to pass up.

• DDO also has coins sale. Their standard $200 sale comes with a set amount of extra coins that hasn't changed in a couple years. But as a special also 20 shared storage slots so that's tempting and it's not like the extra coins go away, except I don't spend that many coins in the first place.
