Which was helpful for me to learn that all of this was about a freaking Evanescence album and not even the album with that one hit song but one from 2021. I cannot believe all of this was over an album that has under 100m streams on Spotify

Perhaps. They didn't start including the SE with Macs until the first TouchBar Mac in 2016. So there are many millions of non-SE devices in use right now. Of course, Apple could still decide to unilaterally drop support for iMessage on

There was a tender offer for employee shares valuing the company at $87b that was pulled because of this. Those would’ve been secondary share purchases by Thrive but gave employees a liquidity event. Now that’s off the table.

Agreed. I hate that we pretend Google is somehow altruistic with their support of RCS. They have many, many incentives and pretending otherwise is naive and obtuse.

The networks and the cable companies are both complicit with their demise. No one is arguing otherwise. I mentioned cable companies specially because they have the same legal monopoly that telephone companies had even post AT&T breakup

And carriage fees are not at all related to the cable companies refusal to adopt or accept OTT solutions. They could have still offered the same shit they offered coax but you know, over a web browser, without requiring you be on a home net

That was true until the cable companies themselves bought networks. Comcast owning NBC Universal, the various cable associations with the artists formerly known as Time Warner, the various local station and sports station roll ups for the v

Bingo. The cartel was so focused on trying to save their existing money printing machine they took their eye off the ball and refused to disrupt themselves. The cable television industry did the exact same thing. If they’d been willing to g

That song, which is such a great/weird one-hit wonder, has flummoxed so many people! I worked at a record store in high school in the early 2000s and people would come in all the time humming or attempting to sing various songs. I got

+1 pon MacWhisper -- I pay for the pro version because I find it to be just great. Sindre's Aiko is excellent too!

We don’t know yet. They’ll get consideration for sure but it is unclear where on the Nxivm scale of sex cult enablers they’ll get. In the case of Nxivm, Raniere got life in prison but two of the biggest enablers of the sex cult, his co-foun

Yeah Milken was responsible for way more financial crimes and actively profited off of literally manipulating the market and causing a major crash and he did 22 months and then got a pardon, but as you said, he cut a deal. Because he might

This is me to a tee. I use both but for different things. I’m sure I could just focus on one or the other but I use both for different things.

So many things! Opening a specific location or app or whatever with one keystroke is great, but I often also use it to run automations/macros done in AppleScript or something else with just a few keystrokes. Extremely niche and nerdy e

Just a terrific application and one I look forward to paying for an upgrade to every two years or so. I looked back at my serial numbers in 1Password and they go back to version 5, so I’ve been a user for at least a decade and the app just

Keyboard Maestro has a CLI too. These aren’t mutually exclusive things, you can have well-designed GUI and well-designed TUI software. I would argue that while Linux has some of the latter (I am absolutely unwilling to give Linux credit for

This is why my rule for laptops with non-upgradable memory has been to max out the RAM at purchase -- and that has been my rule since 2012/2013 or whenever that trend really started. (written from a 64GB M1 Pro Max)

You are purposefully being an asshole and then double and tripling down on it, that’s the spirit of the comment.

One of my earliest memories is of Showbiz Pizza (when the name was changed a few years later after the merger, we continued to call it Showbiz because none of us knew it was the knock-off) and I had a Billy Bob doll (one of the ones here I’

I mean, I literally posted the video you’re responding to, but go off. I think it’s completely fine for someone to not know anything about Microsoft Excel, even tho it is my personal favorite app ever and it was a freaking Mac app first. Fi

I'd think it would be to prevent being "seen" by Ticketmaster/AXS/whoever and then banned or whatever for scalping activity is my thought. I think there is probably a very good reason to hide their identity or at le

I've bought my fair share of tickets off of StubHub but I've only sold there once and I don't remember the transfer process because it was 4 years ago. My initial take would be that they would do this either: a) to act as an

Oh, it was definitely paid! As another mentioned, a year later they spent $16 million on an ad campaign for Mission: Impossible, a movie they got the PowerBook to too late and that didn’t have any of the Mac UI in the film. But the best par

Do you remember every phone you touched in 2002? I don’t even remember what phone I had except that I think it was a Samsung and it had a color screen and I replaced it with a Sidekick the next year and I have a photographic memory for this

My favorite was the time that someone asked Kelly [1] about why she was using Excel and not the messaging app on that product-placement phone and she was like "I have no idea what you are talking about or why this is a meme." And

Thank you for these blogs! Huge, huge fan of your work on all of this stuff -- and as a Kelly Rowland fan (Beyonce is still better, but Kelly > Michelle), thank you for this as well!
