by
Like Matt says, yesterday I got a bit of a smile on my face as I dreamed of the AI hype machine dying so quickly after it started as I watched stocks tumble. No I didn’t read the articles that were linked to, I just looked at “stock goes down” and thought “AI = failing”.…

Vision Pro Weight
by
Prompted by John at Daring Fireball saying that the Apple Vision Pro was heavy I wondered exactly how heavy my bike helmet was. My helmet is about 280g while the Vision Pro is between 600-650g. So it’s about 3x heavier than my bike helmet and the weight is entirely loaded on the front of your…

by
9to5 Mac reports that while Apple will be opening up iOS to alternate appstores and default browsers, the iPad is not going to get these features. See there is evidently some nuance in the ruling saying that iOS is a gatekeeper but that’s not what the iPad runs, it runs iPadOS. This feels exactly like…

Content Plans for 2024
by
I’ve produced two almost weekly newsletters for a few years now, and while I think there is something to be said for hitting a schedule, schedules can also mean you churn out a bunch of low-quality shit that no one wants to read. At this point, I feel like I’ve done more of the later,…

Brent Simmons – Corporations Are Not To Be Loved
by
In response to Apple’s policies on external purchase for AppStore apps Brent has this to say. But I need to remember, now and again, that Apple is a corporation, and corporations aren’t people, and they can’t love you back.

After spending much of 2022 and 2023 not using my iPad that much outside of watching YouTube videos and running Zwift for bike training, I’ve started to make the move back to using the iPad as my primary writing and RSS consumption place. One of the issues that had me move away from the iPad…
