Best thing I've done - monitor wise - is buy a 2019 iMac 5k and convert it to work as an external display. Such a beautiful display. Only downside is once you go 5k it's very hard to go back to any lower resolution. I ended up con

I think the iPhone's one (based on the leaks anyway) will be slightly smaller, but I still think it's going to be a popular device. Especially with Apple's experience from iPad OS, it's going to be like two devices in

Yeah, initially my skepticism was around the fact that the front screen wouldn't be useful for day-to-day 'normal' smartphone things (messaging, scrolling X etc), and the inner screen would be too small for any of the 't

I was a bit skeptical on this form factor, but after watching a few reviews I think I'm convinced. The heart says yes, bank balance says definitely no. I think with Apple's software optimization, it'll be a really solid devic

William Dalrymple's books are great reads. Makes reading history enjoyable. Highly recommend all his books, particularly his most recent 'The Golden Road'

I've been pondering this, and have been moving between cynicism and (cautious) optimism. I think there will be more action on this than climate change, only because the AI impact will have a more immediate, direct impact on politicians

I suppose it is only non-violent on the surface. What if the stolen money could have been used to strengthen the healthcare system or improve citizens’ lives in other ways?

What else do you expect from publicly listed companies? Mix that with the increasingly higher concentration of wealth, and things are just going to get worse.

True. I have a friend in Southern Lebanon who I met a few years ago at a conference. Our group chat is eerie - we haven't heard from him in over two months. We just don't know how he is, and it's sickening.
