The dignity of three presidential candidates who disagree with each other, sitting quietly while allowing the other to finish using their allotted time…

Magnetic keyboard on the iPad is such a lose. Some Thai hacker got full macOS running on his iPhone over Christmas. Apple are cowards collecting dividends.

I don’t want to wear one of those things on my face. I want a high-quality computer and phone. Apple executives are out to lunch.

It's the countless little things. Like my iPhone stops playing any kind of audio if I plug it in with one charging cable but not the other. I get reminded about calendar events AFTER the event. The quality control is embarrassingly bad

What are the best cars to buy these days for self-service and tinkering?

You can have any design you want, as long as it's Trump.

It’s worse that we had COVID in the first place, though.

What is the specific standard for domestic 16 A and 25 A 3-phase plugs you’re referring to?

The transparency is cool, but everything got turned into bubbly corners, like someone wanted to live the Lost In Space timeline where everyone is computing with circular video monitors controlled by joysticks.

Scalia was right in saying that the checks and balances slowing things down is a feature, not a bug. The Framers were right about protections against faction. I’m not sure they understood how badly malicious schemers could deliberately mani

Of course they are. Once every economic variable has been optimized and protected behind a corporation, while banks have adverts showing people high-fiving each other in their Manhattan financial literacy café, and the health insurance syst

macOS too though

My macOS display system is pushing megapixels and with some good exceptions it feels like many apps have not much more visible information or options than an 80x25 VGA display. This is not to trash VGA displays which were often very well-de

I don’t want an Open Genera machine in a portable case with a battery, though. I want Apple’s software to match the quality of their hardware.

Skimpflation is the best term I’ve heard in a long time for hiring one person when three will do.

Disgusting and disrespectful to the animal.

Do mechanics prefer to work with their own tools, or is this like a restaurant getting away with paying a tipped employee less than minimum wage because they can?

It would be fantastic if Apple were to give Woz and Ive a mea culpa, bring them in again, and teach the next generations of engineers and designers. I mean for what Apple spent to license the third-party AI patchover.

Nobody will be left to deal with the exceptions, which is just about everything, as the article points out. Unitree robots get rooted and start beating the shit out of human beings while Boston Dynamics robots are still being humped by dogs

The deals that are cut in Congress prior to votes are an imperfect information game for the public.

The price is right for a dildo cozy. Maybe a little more if hand knit.

I contacted SGI in their later years when my department had a little extra budget. Knowledgeable guy on the phone tried to talk me out of buying one of their workstations. They really were only interested in selling to a certain type of cus

It’s as if people can change their opinions about things as they become better informed.

Tim Cook has shown everybody what he is good at. It’s not running a user-first computer company. It’s time for him to be shown the door. Can’t even scroll right in the text editor. Trillion-dollar company.

Didn’t Word used to be installed from 2 floppy disks? Now Calculator.app leaks 40 GB of memory. Software in this sorry state cannot be run on a supercomputer, it needs one of those theoretical ocean-boilers.

It's sad, because the issues at stake, which used to be considered highly-technical and the domain of experts or hackers, are now things that everybody understands.

Has lost. Tim Cook chose the path a decade ago. He’s a guy you can call Tim Apple to his face in front of everybody and he’ll sit there and take it. He is the wrong person for the job.
