Doing work for computers means something is broken in your process, product, culture, or whatever else.

I agree. When Marc Benioff was talking about how he spends like 3 hours a day chatting with AI, things made a bit more sense. I suspect that a lot of these guys are just chattering…

Yes, it would. Something I keep in mind is that the “goal” success/failure rate really needs to be appropriate in context. We sure can’t eliminate human error, but for my work a be…

Probably depends on the user. Along with push notifications for almost every app on every one of my devices, I disable the summarization. For me the notification is the point, and …

On iOS it wouldn’t even be that hard. There’s already a toggle to disable use of cellular connectivity. Add a separate one for non-cellular (iPadOS can connect via Ethernet), and/o…

You know, I would love a feature that lets me mark push notifications as spam, and optionally send them to Apple. The last part is important for a variety of reasons, one of which …

Absolutely agreed. How much time must everyone be asked to waste to “tune” a working set of applications to something reasonably sane for human beings. Sure, what is sane for one h…

I absolutely hate medical marketing. I recently decided to switch dermatology practices over a combination of bad data management, unwelcome marketing for cosmetic dermatology prod…

This write-up is a shining example of why I’ve been rebuilding my business slowly away from Microsoft technology. Entra as IdP is one of the last projects. I’m probably not going t…

The Domain Capture process cannot be canceled once it’s started. It’s also not required, unless by your company policy. The point is to make sure there’s not a mess on the other en…

It really gives you a sense that no one at GitHub finds it necessary to search those logs. Which I find…unusual.

You’re not supposed to do the math. You’re supposed to nod and say “oh, yes, that makes sense.”

This does require large players acting in good faith. Or, at best, competently. Sometimes both of those, or neither, are in evidence. But I like the way you think. Make it a contra…

I’d do that even in my personal capacity. Buy a new copy every major version release (where that’s applicable). At least the new edition would be a worthwhile expense.

You can completely disable biometry if you wish to do so. Apple Pay without biometrics is somewhat annoying.

I can’t think of a single airline that can’t or won’t print a boarding pass. At least not based in North America.

> I remember how Google's internal guidelines for travel circa 2011 required to remove any material under NDA from your laptop when traveling to China or Russia; you had to restore…

“Spicy autocomplete” absolutely made my day. Thank you.

Exactly. The marketing makes this look like something general for deploying cloud stacks. But what it seems to be is just a fast way to deploy resources to platform providers that …

The former businesses don’t run technology stacks that might, inherently by design, regurgitate any given piece of information that they encounter. They’re also purpose built to do…

Speaking as someone who has used em-dashes and semicolons for years, it’s a shame what the AI companies have done with punctuation.

As someone who frequently says “don’t connect these $things” to the Internet, I appreciate the boost. Half my compute vendors are raising prices because of this insanity.

You can enable Advanced Data Protection to address that issue with iMessages. Giving users an option between both paths is usually best. Most users care a lot more that they can’t …

And it’s typically disclosed in one way or another. Between buying a phone and reading the OS EULA to providing an E911 address to my carrier, I can count at least three disclosure…

It isn’t restricted to Boost Mobile. It is only available on devices with the C1 or C1X modem, though. I assume this is because of specifics with the third party modems that most m…
