The Node team has lost the plot IMO. By far the most critical issue is the over reliance on third party NPM packages for even fundamental needs like connecting to a database.

I was excited about a Reddit alternative. I signed up months before the public beta. When I tried the public beta the new Digg website turned out to be a terribly bloated and slow NextJS app. Used it once and never again.

System wide permissions 24/7 even when you're not configuring the USB devices?

It's super inconsistent across devices and implementations. I've had so many issues with it over the years. I've had headphones where a slight change in the environment around me while walking would disconnect audio. Or IEMs

The Logi Options app is such a piece of crap. On macOS it also requires special permissions otherwise it won't even work. If you only need to connect a device to the Bolt adapter you can use this web app by Logitech without having to i

Very cool. Hopefully there will be an adapter to run this outside of Cloudflare.

You could probably replace all those machines with a Mac Mini or even a Raspberry Pi.

Vite has been such a game changer for doing frontend. I never really want to do frontend without it ever again.

I spent 2024 and 2025 trying all the big fullstack monolithic frameworks (Laravel, Rails, .NET, Django). There are differences of course but they all suck so much for doing frontend. In part because for a modern frontend dx you will need ho

What manufacturer would prefer to not sell millions of TVs?

For a couple of days I had a Surface Book 1 before returning it. The keyboard was really good but otherwise just a terrible device and experience. The touch screen was completely useless. Super laggy and sometimes the pen would still believ

Nobody really knows but the simple fact is these companies are not making any profit. Far from it.

Excellent comment. I would only add two points. I think it's important to mention the effects we're seeing today are caused by the emissions from decades ago. Second, not sure if the paper in the OP touches this but we've red

Construction is not a niche industry although I would argue otherwise about illustration. Anyway my previous point was not about those being niche industries but niche use cases as far as iPad users.

And tons of artists spend their day with Procreate but those are still quite niche use cases.

Anyone remembers stuxnet? Apparently part of a US and Israel joint operation called Olympic Games [1]. In the documentary Zero Days some anonymous source mentions there was another project within Olympic Games called Nitro Zeus[2]. This was

An eink display is vastly better for reading though. I only use the iPad for reading PDFs because Kindles are too small for that.

by pier25 8mo ago
The laptop is better in many situations as the screen stands on its own. When reading in bed I use a stand to hold my Kindle at the best position. I would need a much heavier stand to be able to do that with my iPad.

The Neo is definitely a response to Chromebooks. Apple bet on the iPad for the education market and lost that bet for obvious reasons. This was already obvious 10 years ago when I was working in edtech. They've totally lost the plot wi

This is not for "serious work". It's for users who spend most of their time in a browser and/or using lightweight apps.

Hasn't this been the case for most Apple laptops?

by pier25 8mo ago
So Apple is finally "admitting" an iPad is not the right device for certain users/situations.

Not sure if this was available in previous gens but my M4 Pro can run in low power mode. It's amazing. I can work for hours and only use 10-15% of the battery.

Yeah this is a real issue with these new Macs. I would wait until macOS 27 to see the direction Apple takes.

I really hope these flop and don’t become mainstream. It would be a surveillance and privacy dystopian nightmare.
