I had the Mission Impossible theme stuck in my head and it reminded me how hard it was to acquire theme songs before the internet. Sometimes collections would be released, but damned if they’d be in your local store. It seemed absurd to me, even at the time. The Mission Impossible theme is a banger.
Regarding rumors that iPadOS 19 will focus on productivity and multitasking, visionOS does seem to be an iPad-like OS much better at both. On the other hand, my argument is that visionOS accomplishes this by having much more screen real estate and that iPads are still constrained by what I call the touchability, productivity, and portability triangle. I’m very curious to see what Apple does here.

Given every previous prediction that society would collapse if some group was treated with dignity never came to pass, I’d like to think folks would be a bit more skeptical when told society will crumble if trans people are treated with dignity.
And yet here we are. Stay safe.
I wonder when we’ll learn what Humane was actually attempting to build before pivoting.
Embeds are great, but I really wish they weren’t jumbo sized by default. Ideally, an embed should visually come second, after the commentary given most platforms put the commentary on top. Instead, readers see the giant embed first and then have to reverse to read the commentary.
So Wifi 7 is awesome. In our two story house I managed to get almost 2 Gbps between my upstairs Mac and my downstairs gaming PC, both of which are wired Eero 7 Max nodes. I decided to test using iPerf3 after seeing great results streaming games to my Mac from the PC using Steam.
A perfect example of why scores are flaw.
For a $2,000 camera, there is a lot that is missing here. And giving this a numerical score was harder than anticipated. Despite its long list of cons, I had an absolute blast using this camera for the past few weeks…
There’s something nightmarish about an article you’ve just seen disappearing on an algorithmically generated home page, like you’re trying to get your bearing only to find the hallway you came down no longer exists.
I love RSS, but never jibed with the email paradigm of most RSS readers. I don’t want to read every post delivered to my “inbox”. I want skim posts as they are published, and selectively drill down in that moment or bookmark for later reading. Tapestry fits this paradigm nicely.
I think it’s time we acknowledge the very feel possibility that the rapture happened and that Gene Hackman, his wife, and only one of his dogs were the only ones God deemed worthy.
