There's also "Apple ][ Forever" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcjlhFVTY50 These videos have a certain look, and it comes from how they were originally presented to the audience with a massive bank of comput

All "celebration" is marketing. I'm not sure what Apple needs to do here short of handing you $50 cash or something.

I was expecting to see a Newton, and got an eMate 300 and a well-timed fake glitch in the audio. Seems apropos.

Define "effectively". ROI? Attention? New customer intake?

Okay those are pretty rad.

Don't forget that the mission planners figured out the "Grand Tour", calculating orbits and trajectories to slingshot around the Solar System. All with 1960s technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran

There are physical staff at airports, but you can't have 40 agents standing around at each counter waiting for the next disaster to arrive and help with rebooking. So you hire two per counter. But that means when something comes up,

Is this how the whole "Bill Gates is putting 5G chips in the Covid vaccine" meme got started?

I've done a fair bit of domestic (USA) flying over the last six months and when flights are spontaneously cancelled for weather/staffing/crew timeouts/random apocalyptic actions, a phone has been priceless in getting qui

Flighty routinely tells me about cancelled flights before any other app or the airline itself.

Probably because their model let you customize it for the application. If you have a Mazda from the mid 2010s, the infotainment system runs in JavaScript on an Opera browser customized for the car system.

Yeah it's killing me too. I make a product that's MFI certified and I still can't use a browser to talk to it.

No, I wasn't using Chase checking accounts, which pay zero. I was using an actual "savings account" I own which is listing right now at 0.01% monthly. "Passbook" is the traditional term for these accounts.

The point is that it's more efficient for Americans to pay down debt right now instead of parking it in a savings account that is losing money to inflation. So you can't blame them for only having 11% of their assets in a zero-per

by joezydeco 7mo ago
Remind me, again, what the average passbook interest rate is in the USA? I just checked my bank (Chase) and right now it's... 0.01%.

Cloudkitchen pivot. Okay.

One would think. I don't think we've hit the limit yet.

Except, like Trump, they get more stupid as you go.

Same here. Which helped me confirm how bad it was.

I'm keeping it there to remind me to stay defiant against the shittier UI. I'll wait until they can put it on a user switch or create a more readable option for older users. Which will probably be 'never'.

iPhone 15 (vanilla) running iOS 18.7.2. I now have a permanent notification on my lock screen nagging me to update to iOS 26.

by joezydeco 7mo ago
There are extra ways to do that, but they're on a document deep in a Sharepoint directory that you can't access.

I got an alert this morning for an iOS update numbered 26.3.1(a). (a)? This must be really bad .

Thanks!

Could you share the UI repo? This is really interesting stuff.

I was in the first type of firm. We were working on an IoT edge device for a large restaurant chain as a subcontractor to an equipment company. Arrow figured out what the project was and who the end customer was and approached them directly

by joezydeco 7mo ago
Be careful with Arrow. They like to ask what you're working on and if they discover an opportunity to bid on the same work they'll undercut you.

If DigiKey or Octopart had their act together they'd create a subscription service for $1/month or something like that and offer compiled maps for every part they carry.

Okay, but what did you use for a multiuser backend database back then? One that could handle multiple threads reading and writing to it? A lot of these old BBS systems were just slapping together endless directories of flat text files.
