A big caveat I have is that the SSD is soldered directly to the logic board. I've used a single Macbook for stretches of 4-5 years at points and I've had to pull out the HD when the logic board has died... seems really sad that I&

During Q&A sessions at conferences someone will inevitably ask: "Which applications do you use for your work?" — which is probably the least helpful question you can ever ask if you want to improve as a designer. There seems t

Personally I started getting into cooking through doing it once a week (usually Sunday night) and using it to save money by making enough for 2-3 meals a week. One key to doing a weekly cooking time is setting aside the time to do it leisur

Yeah I'll occasionally switch to music on my phone if I'm doing a lot of memory intensive tasks. Having Spotify and Chrome open is like a RAM kiss of death.

About 5 years, but in working for Apple you worked for a company that still shipped other products.

Yes and no, you want to have a ton of time tinkering in a lab and the room to experiment and fail... but who would know Edison if he didn't eventually ship the lightbulb? Also considering how litigious/secretive things are — it mu

Hopefully! I don't think anyone would be surprised if the touchbar was "App store verified" only.

I mean honestly it would be preferable to ads on the main display. Either way, if I didn't want to use an application with ads I'd just uninstall it.

If you want to have visitors over when you live in your house you're free to do so. If you own a property and operate it as a hotel while not actually living in it you're violating the zoning laws that every business/hotel op

I think the argument can be made that for the same money someone could build a mansion that also doesn't look awful.

You don't need to understand their stupid points, you need to understand why they feel a certain way about them. As this election cycle clearly shows, emotion isn't dictated by fact. Empathy isn't "liking/hating&q

People just need to empathize in general. There's so much polarizing armchair bullshit once anything goes wrong for someone else, it's crazy. Modern interconnectivity is seemingly creating networks of assholes to an extent that
