So it's a constantly changing like animation of my current weather conditions.

As you can see, when I took this screenshot this morning or last night, it was gray and cloudy.

Because it's New York in the winter, we get a lot of that.

Oh, and you can also see, I took this on a train, and as a result then, I had one bar of 5G+, whatever that means.

What is that?

at&t has all these different modes that they advertise their their service to be you know there's there was the 5ge that we still exist in some places um there's 5g actual there's 5g plus or i think there's a 5g ultra like who knows they they have a lot of branding of their various service levels but on this train corridor i was in a spot where no matter what it is it's one bar

Yeah, whatever that is.

So it's a fairly boring lock screen.

I use the top widget, so to speak, to be the calendar thing.

So it normally shows the date and then the next reminder or calendar entry.

I have the non-glass, like plain old white flat digits clock.

Um, below that I have the three overcast lock screen widgets, um, like the medium sized one, uh, the small playlist specific one, and then just a second one for my, my two different main playlists.

It's 54 minutes left.

That podcast.

thing or other yes with Trevor Noah and then Prime Minister is the title of the episode okay all right so it's like it's you know it's new versus resume time left podcast title episode title yeah I mean it's difficult to put it you know arbitrary length podcast information to a widget of that size I'm just asking if you could parse it

yeah that's it like when it's when it's a show that you have been listening to you know what that is right you know so like if the second line said accidental detect pot you know you would have figured it out you know anyway um and the other two are just playlist selectors and then um for the bottom two like what used to be like flashlight and camera um i don't need either of those anymore to be those things because flashlight i assigned to the lock button or the sorry the action button

Yeah, so I have flashlight as the action button, and now that we have the camera control as a camera launcher, I don't use either of those anymore.

So for the left, I put the magnifier.

I keep forgetting that I have that there.

I'll tell you what, like, so we went on vacation last week.
