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 it actually naturally restricts your mucking about in menus. I bet any money that that one choice has saved lives.

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 spade a spade, I think.

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.

> Tall in this context are rich and influential people

This is a double edged sword. Lots of "thought leaders" on twitter have outed themselves as lacking in both thought, and leadership.

This is way too close to the Simpsons joke about the periodic tables provided by Oscar Mayer

> 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 teenagers could make genuinely good games and animations, and then play them in web browsers on machines with Pentium IIs. There's nothing else like that today.

> and to never do anything that other people than the owner want

Windows 11 is full of ads, telemetry, and AI slop, much of which is impossible to disable. Very few owners want this.

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 Times Square

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 this is on the market.

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.

Something about this metaphor made me queasy.

TouchID. I’d I tap, I get to see my stuff. If my wife does, her profile comes up.

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.
