I think the random capitalization problem has gotten much better in iOS 26, or one of its minor releases (I recall in the 26.0 beta it was still there). I would have sworn before they would never fix it… The streaming dictation they also ad

Most people think of the brushed metal, but I've always liked the iTunes 10 dalliance with vertical window controls as a good example of this.

Do you have any specific tooling for querying all three at once beyond just copy paste?

The idea of any official Apple presentation today beginning with a humorous rendition of _God Save the Queen_ is so absurd I can't help but smile at what we've lost.

Don't forget CI/CD farms for iOS builds, although I think it's much more cost effective to just make Minis or Studios work, despite their nonstandard formfactor

Even within Apple's platforms, there's pretty limited support for automation -- you can say "Siri find my keys" but there's no App Intents / Shortcuts support for automating anything within Find My (AFAIK), whi

I believe build-to-order upgrades are also discounted, so it may not be a fixed discount.

After buying one, I actually like it. I know exactly where it is, and can reach for it by feel more easily; I could never tell you whether the power button was on the left or right side of the old Mini/Studio without checking each time

There are Thunderbolt 4 KVMs now (can't speak to any myself, but they exist!). DSC will give you quite a bit of spare bandwidth with the Studio Display.

Incidentally, it was observed that the new iMac can support an external 8K 120Hz display: https://x.com/vadimyuryev/status/1850929080281321899

Day9 / Mostly Walking's is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_TqymY5fCU I agree it's tricky to find the balance of a truly blind playthrough, sans hints, and one that's also enjoyable to watc

Julia Evans wrote a nice blog post about this recently, in that sometimes it's helpful to think commits as snapshots and sometimes as diffs. https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/01/05/do-we-think-of-git-commits

I just discovered this today, but if you whisper to your Echo, it will skip all of the "by the way" BS (it will also reply in a whisper, which is kind of creepy, but you win some, you lose some).

This Medium post by the same CEO a few months ago ( https://henrysward.medium.com/what-i-tell-employees-about-ne... ), presumably written in response to a few ongoing scandals, isn't much better.

I've used a Thunderbolt cable as well successfully, but one note is that they're very picky about which port you use. On my Mac mini, I had to use the exact port outlined here or it did not show up: https://support.appl

My fuzzy recollection was that the OS X version of Flash was much worse than the Windows version. Given "Thoughts on Flash" and the direction of the iPhone, this ended up being very expensive for Adobe :)

If you're programming, definitely check out Cursorless: https://www.cursorless.org/ . Talon itself provides noise and speech recognition, and provides the framework that allows you to build automations with any program;
