Terrible scrolljacking interface.
This is easily the best use of "scrolljacking" I've ever seen. How, exactly, would you like to interact with the 3d CT scans? A video? An embedded 3d viewer to let you control the orientation?

The keyboard replacement was the biggest improvement to me in the latest MacBooks. I'm not an Apple person but I do like to keep tabs. Tried the butterfly keyboard and hated it so, so much - and that's not even touching on the function key row. (As a Streamdeck user it would have been awesome if they had kept the touch screen strip _and_ restored the missing row of keys. Missed opportunity there.)
The touch strip turns off if you don't use the keys for a few seconds. So if you are programming and thinking during debugging, you might want to press a function key to step into/over/continue. But the touchbar has turned off, so you need to press another key on the keyboard to wake it up (fn perhaps) and then look down at the touchbar to find the F key because it is impossible to locate as there's no tactile sensat…

Awesome little MP3 player that took compact flash storage and ran on a AA batteries back in the day. It was like 2001 or something. I had iPods as well, but loved that NexIIe. - used the same media I had in some of my earliest digital came…
Steve Jones mentioned why he chose mechanical, it stored more songs, in 2002 you didn’t have many gigabytes. The iPod was the size of a deck of cards, it wasn’t much larger. You listed an MP3 player you needed to add storage to, when SD cards were 8mb or 16mb for the period. You could get 2GB flash on the iPod nano. I wouldn’t have liked the nex one, the battery life was probably worst, the iPods had good monochrome…
