I’ve used it for years, including 3 separate cross-country trips (in the US), and it has been incredibly reliable. Its traffic data is very current, and it has proactively rerouted me multiple times because of this data as well as weather data.

The pain points experienced early on have all cleared up for me. I understand this is not everyone’s experience (I’ve heard complaints from those not in the US), but it’s hard for me to justify switching away from it in its current state.

Technically it’s zoom, and how it functions is dependent on the app. In Finder it used to resize the window to a size that contained all the icons. Clicking it again would revert the window size.

I found that the time I spent reviewing and fixing issues/errors/omissions in Copilot’s meeting notes was more than just cleaning up my own notes that I took and sending out.

I have been burned multiple times receiving counterfeit SD cards and USB thumb drives from Amazon. I now only buy those locally at a reputable electronics store. This change by Amazon won’t bring me back, but it’s the right decision nonetheless.

He claims the 286 was state of the art in 1992. This is not true. The 80386 (i386) was mass produced in 1986, six years before 1992. Whenever a video gets basic facts wrong I am left to wonder “what other mistakes will be made?”, and “why should I trust this source?”

I have 3x 100watt lightbulbs in a single fixture that have been running strong for years. The secret? I keep them dimmed by ~20%. Longevity wasn’t the intent, though, I just like them dimmer and warmer. A pleasant side effect nonetheless.

> Apple has all but zero presence in BigCorp outside of social media and creative teams.

Not from my experience. I see product managers/owners and software engineers using Macs more than Windows where I work, and it’s in healthcare, not SV. This move to Mac was gradual, starting ~10 years ago, and I believe a part of this was moving away from native apps to web apps.
