    I admire the restraint the CarPlay designers have in adding features. E.g. in music apps, you can't click-through to an artist page from a song page. Annoying on the surface, but i…

    I’m trying to not be snarky here, but it is difficult to have an optimistic take about an advertising company working on mind reading technology. At some point we have to call a sp…

    It'll be a cold day in hell before Meta gets access to my brainwaves. Good heavens, can you imagine?

    OpenClaw just seems so broken and insecure by-design. I feel like you'd have to be crazy to use it.

    This is way too close to the Simpsons joke about the periodic tables provided by Oscar Mayer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pohXWbMrXZI

    > The Donut media guys Actually the speeeed guys, now. They left because Donut went to shit after getting purchased by Private Equity. Surprise, surprise.

    Aren't they incentive to treat bot impressions as real?

    I think it's taken for granted just how good flash was. It gets hated on a lot because it was proprietary and insecure, but it's really impressive that they had a system where teen…

    I would personally take a MacBook Neo over literally any laptop Acer makes, anywhere in their lineup, any day of the week.

    I agree that it's gone downhill, but have you been on a Windows 11 machine? It's just a cacophony of ads, jank, and slop. The computing equivalent of sitting on a lawn chair in Tim…

    Assuming nothing really bad comes out of the reviews, this looks like the best computer for like 99% of users. I really can't imagine buying some plastic-fantastic Acer unit when t…

    You can now officially get a device with mutli-user support for only $100 more than the base model iPad. They've really got to throw us a bone with what the iPad is capable of.

    The point is that I only want one iPad.

    It's not the end user's problem whose fault it is.

    And especially more silly, since they'll soon launch a cheap A-series chipped MacBook. Why can I have multiple users on a $700 MacBook, but not a $1500 iPad Pro?

    My library gives free Libby and PressReader, so it would let me read The New Yorker more comfortably than I can on my laptop of phone.

    As a developer myself, I respect and understand that it's not their fault that profiles are useless As a consumer, I don't care whose fault it is that profiles are useless.

    I could excuse it if the iPad was a $200 novelty like the Amazon Fire tablets, but they're putting M-series chips in them and marketing (and pricing) them like PC replacements.

    Profiles don't work well on Apple TVs at all though. You choose a profile on the device, and then you still have to choose a profile whenever you launch any given streaming app as …

    The iPad would go from a never-buy to a buy-right-away for me, if they added user profiles. It'd be a nice thing to have on your coffee table, where anyone in the household can pic…
