That is exactly what Apple TV+ is – Apple Originals, basically exclusively, and why it has historically been priced cheaper than other streaming services. They have explicitly not been trying to build up a catalog of non-owned movies and sh

I'm not sure what your point is. Lots of apps, native or not, get acquired. What are we talking about here?

There is an associated cloud service called Cleanshot Cloud – all licenses get a small amount of storage for free, or you can upgrade to Unlimited for a monthly subscription. Alternatively, because it's a great native-first app, you ca

companies are generally valued based on their revenue and user base rather than their product it is true that $975M is too high a price for a screen recorder when they could have bought a licence to Cleanshot for $19

Not GP, but I certainly don't look forward to them. They are also much shorter duration experiences, and I can probably count one one hand the number of times I have shared an elevator with someone tweaking or shitting themselves, vs.

I think when most people use "safe" in this context, they mean "comfortable" or "psychologically comfortable". Nobody enjoys sitting beside someone tweaking and shitting themselves, even if it's perfectly

Do you ever buy anything online? You are taking this really self-righteous, “explain yourself” attitude while seemingly not understanding that you are the one who is odd.

This is true, but Porkbun couldn't be further from the big registrars like GoDaddy in their approach. It is actually difficult to buy a domain on GoDaddy for most people without getting sucked in to buying extras, whereas Porkbun barel

TIL that this is why I couldn’t configure the Menu Item Swapper or whatever last week when I was leveling Construction with oak larders. I wonder what makes construction a special case here vs, say, allowing one click dropping of collected

It has gotten better, but it's still a factor. Relatively shortly after launch they switched all processing to only occur when plugged in vs. on battery, which helped from a consumption standpoint. As far as pure performance I can&#x27

I believe the meeting transcription is Mac only currently and can be set to automatic (via syncing your calendar and it detecting the meeting automatically) or manual (toggling on and off mic recording). I do think this type of thing probab

I have been a Rewind user on the Mac for months and on the iPhone (beta) for a few days now, and there are basically no tools in the past few years that have changed the way I work this much. I get a transcription and summary for every meet

You certainly don’t need - I know and have worked with many successful people who don’t have any sort of meaningful (beyond grocery list type) notes or externally-stored knowledge of any kind. This feels like a comment without substance and

Yes; my point is that 1% of the people who see this while browsing the App Store understand enough about the HealthKit data access requirements to interpret the language that Apple chooses correctly. And Apple does choose the language here,

Apple should really communicate more clearly what they mean in these privacy reports, because I don’t think it’s insane to interpret “The following data may be collected and linked to you: … Health & Fitness” in this way. An incorrect i

Counterpoint: Time Machine just works and doesn't need any love; the only thing I'd like to see is for it to be able to backup to iCloud – something you view as a downside.

I’m eager to try this out, but you might also want to check out Steermouse[1], which is a utility it took me years longer to discover than it should have. I’m not sure how it stacks up to this open source project, but it’s definitely been w

I’ll look past the rudeness of your comment and actually address your point. At least in Canada - I would assume the model is similar in the US - standard real estate transaction commissions using an agent are 4-5%, so your home wouldn’t ne

Yes, but ... I know it is an early developer beta, and I haven't even begun to debug it, but Slack running in this method does not perform well. My sent messages frequently show and then get stuck in the grey "sending" text

I can confirm that you can run web apps created this way on the developer beta without having Safari running, and if you have both running than quitting Safari will not quit the web app.

I believe they mean shift-cmd-c and it copies the current URL to the clipboard. Comparable to cmd-L + cmd-C in one keystroke.

If they had kept Super Mario 64 and/or Super Mario Sunshine and/or Super Mario Galaxy available for sale since their consoles were discontinued, Nintendo wouldn’t have sold 9 million+ copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars. I bet they

Pro-tip (at least for me): control (^) doesn't change this, so you can just hold all the modifier keys rather than trying to remember which 3 let you paste as plain text.
