Probably the same way they handle our summer monsoons in Miami: they shut down the service until conditions clear.

Does nobody care that iPadOS lost its old Split View workflow? I would never consider another iPad until it's brought back. Their multitasking story is a total mess at the moment. Hopefully Lemay can work it into iPadOS 27

This is what I'm most interested in. My only hope at the moment is for Apple to revive the iPhone mini -- even if they only refresh it every 3-5 years! I'm so bummed I'll be 'forced' to upgrade from my 12 mini later

I love Libby. It's introduced me to so many titles by browsing what's currently available that I otherwise would've skipped over. The 21 day loan period gives me just enough of a gentle push to read that I wouldn't have

More and more I'm convinced that buying my Honda Accord 11 years ago was one of my better life decisions so as not to have to deal with the BS that is the modern automobile. I do wish it had CarPlay, but the phone mount is a good trade

Nailed it. It's honestly criminal and something I consider UX terrorism the way macOS lacks this basic functionality when even something like ChromeOS ships these by default. Wonderful hardware, but boy is the OS rough 20+ years later.

Glad to know I'm not the only madman using a slew of text files to dump their thoughts into. My kids will surely think I was a crazy person if they ever stumble on them after I pass.

I admire the Beeper team’s effort, but this post playing the victim card is deranged. Beeper was trying to turn a profit piggy-backing on Apple’s servers and Apple curbing access is construed as “interference”, lol. I don’t know if it would

Cool idea, but it could use some work. For example, Italian-Spanish (Masculine) should yield 'Matteo' or 'Mateo' but seemingly doesn't because of a 't' despite being essentially the same name.

This will absolutely be a commercial failure. I don't harbor any ill will to anybody in the company, and I wish them the best, but a voice interface in public is a complete non-starter. What is the use-case for this device for which a

You can switch to a following-only view, but it resets whenever the app is re-launched, which is a real scummy pattern. Agree on the need for a proper website that isn’t read-only. I get that most usage will come from mobile, but for the mo

My wife and I will still chuckle over that Onion video to this day. I had sent it to her back in the day just to share a laugh, but due to its insanely high production value she bought it hook, line, and sinker. Her reaction was "Wow,

Ha, I had completely forgotten this was a thing I used to do. Thanks for bringing back good memories of scrolling through .txt files. It might sound tedious to those who never tried it, but the Clickwheel was a genuine pleasure to use for s

Chex Quest was my first FPS and only many years later did I learn about Doom. It all clicked and my gratitude for whoever at General Mills was responsible for the title flowed immensely.

The same thought crossed my mind when I noticed how useless Google had become after Rexxit, so I don’t think it’s insane. It’s a small fortune for Google, but Reddit is the de facto forum software with Discord a close second, so I think it’

Building your business on the back of somebody else's API is always gonna be a risky endeavor. Luckily, Apollo is a great client with loyal users, so hopefully Christian can spin off his own backend forum and build from there. Reddit&#

The 2024 ID.4 will likely have an option for their new APP550 motor which will produce 282 hp and a maximum torque of 406 lb-ft. This should help bring it in line with the Y, but probably at a higher cost initially until they can scale prod

I'm convinced Mazda could have taken over the world with an electric CX-5. What a missed opportunity. Hopefully it's not too late for them as I think it's one of the nicer, and more tasteful vehicles on the road.

Same here. Does what I need it to do, but I've noticed that it only syncs one-way with NetNewsWire (pulls feeds in, but won't update read status), unfortunately. It's still good enough for my needs as I'm not subbed to t

So they only support Apple Pencil Gen 1, but remove the Lightning port which it requires for charging, so they sell you a dongle, but the environment is important to Apple. Okay. What's the point of the flat edges if you're not go

I don't really have anything to add except that I'm grateful you brought this up because reading your comment and its replies was a nice reminder that we're not alone. One day our young kids will grow up and be more independe

This was very uncomfortable for me to listen to. I felt compelled to close out of the tab 3 minutes into it. While I can appreciate that the AI has stitched together dialogue read by synthesized voices, ultimately it sounded like nonsense a

I noticed today I can't find the Chrome flag (v105) to enable its reader mode. It's like they just nuked it since it made articles actually readable. It's not a huge deal, but I liked not having to launch another service like

Glad to read there's others like me. My friends and family like to poke fun at me for carrying ear plugs, but I find most audio too damn loud at events and it's nice to be able to shave 30dB off and know I'm not damaging my h

I'd add Dr. Ted Naiman to that list. He advocates for quick workouts each day and prioritizing a favorable protein:calorie ratio for eating. He's also down to earth and entertaining to listen to IMO.

This is basically what life is like in South Florida half the year. We have the benefit of ubiquitous air conditioning, but going outside feels gross from April to October.

While it's implied, another added benefit would be that cars in warm climates would no longer have to blast their A/C after a day of work after the sun has incinerated its interior to 120°.

MLS will steadily grow over the next decade, of that I have no doubt. I think soccer in America has a ceiling, though. NFL and NBA will be #1 and #2 for a long, long time, but MLS could surpass NHL, and maybe MLB by the end of the decade if
