I have thoughts on the Air and all other iPhone models: They're too large. The iPhone 4 was perfectly sized and we have the technology now to build a super powerful phone of that size. I simply don't use my phone for anything that

Exactly this. And the profit would be huge compared to any Mac. I suspect Apple dropped it just because they're making even more from selling oversized and over-specced phones.

I don't think giving children tech adults don't fully understand is a goal by itself. But children shouldn't be limited by their parents' shortcomings either. Strict age limits may seem like a safe approach, but children

The problem is they were two decades late digitizing the classroom. Now we're dealing with the aftermath with the educational system still not being capable of keeping up with societal progress.

It's the main lane where all coastal traffic passes, and one of the most dangerous and weather sensitive regions on the lane. Larger ships sail farther out when weather conditions don't allow for sailing the coast, but a lot of tr

I guess it's a matter of taste, and the quality of the coffee, but I love the crema. Personally I think removing it sounds a bit like picking the olives off the pizza.

Absolutely, and I enjoy a lot of cold brew, but it's not espresso.

This is completely false if the espresso is brewed with freshly ground and properly roasted beans with correct temperature and pressure. The texture of the crema also says a lot about the quality of the extraction.

Almost all of my iCloud relayed addresses are already @privaterelay.appleid.com, and they've been working perfectly. So I don't expect this to change any time soon.

You're right. But I drink my espresso hot, so I don't quite see how it can compare : )

The product is moving into a different territory, though. I doubt these guys even know how to pull a proper espresso shot as a baseline for the test. I'm sure you can grind espresso coffee beans to a powder and just shake it until it a

In that case I'd say espresso is not the right brewing method : )

And this is why you can't use "100 regular coffee drinkers" to judge the quality of the brewing method. Most people can't even taste (or care about) the difference between arabica and robusta beans or whether it's r

The crema looks like terrible, more like Nespresso, and having the coffee warm is kinda important. But perhaps this can be used in the instant coffee industry or something.

Workouts for kids? Surveillance sold as «independence»? This is dystopian stuff, a few years ago I wouldn't think of Apple to sink this deep.

This is like Bill Gates' 640 kB of memory quote. Lack of fiber and Gbps+ adoption is the reason why video meetings still suck and streaming has visible compression artifacts.

Agreed. As Simon Willison points out, November 2025 was a a critical months because that's pretty much when coding agents became «good enough», eliminating most of the problems pointed out in this study.

Yea, that's ugly. I'm sure it could've been done more gracefully with 15 minutes more effort. But judging from the general wear and tear on this poor Mac I guess they don't even consider the resale value.
