Just heard our local news anchor spoonerize it as the “Hump Trush money case” and that is all I will be calling it now.

My favorite thing about tethering is

nothing

nothing is my favorite thing about tethering

Please, cellular Macs already!

(Today's anti-favorite: if the phone loses reception for even a moment — common on trains! — it disconnects tethering and never reconnects. You're just offline until you notice. Then you need to reconnect from the Mac's Wi-Fi menu again, after waiting for the option to become available, a process that's almost as slow as dialing up your ISP with a modem in the 1900s.)

@ChrisLawley @marcoarment Thanks for giving me a topic for Clockwise today. 🤣

This week at Macworld, my Stay Foolish column is all about how Apple's best improvements are often its most invisible. So much work spent on things that only ever get noticed when they don’t work right. (And remember, @sixcolors members can read the whole story for free over there too!) https://www.macworld.com/article/2348650/apple-invisible-breakthroughs-ipad-pro-oled-computational-photography-ai.html

My next novel comes out four months from today! THE ARMAGEDDON PROTOCOL is the final book in the Galactic Cold War series. Picking up where THE NOVA INCIDENT left off, Simon Kovalic and his team are in dire straits. But that's nothing a daring heist and teaming up with an old enemy can't fix...right? Preorder now from all your favorite bookstores! https://dmoren.com/the-armageddon-protocol/

The only kitchen device I really love is the pineapple extractor.

After extraction. The pineapple innards are spiral cut and are turned into chunks by making several vertical cuts.

Twenty-five years ago yesterday, several pals and I were at the midnight debut of The Phantom Menace. The next morning we woke up (having slept at my friend’s house) to find that we were on the front page of The Boston Globe. About seven hours later we went to see it again. (My friend Evan never lets me live down the fact that only he was named despite me being most prominently in the picture!)

Sugar, on Apple TV+, is one of the weirdest shows I have watched in a while. I think I really enjoyed it? I have no idea who to recommend it to, but if you like stuff that's kind of different, check it out.

@gruber I just went back to watch the trailer again and there's literally one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot that hints to anything else. And yeah, episode length was a big plus—I burned through the whole thing in the last ten days or so. Even with a 30-minute episode, it all feels really weighty.

@siracusa My kid got Global Entry at under 1 year old, and the "interview" was hilarious.

Not going to lie: lately I’ve been wondering if any of my work—podcasting, books, tech writing—is really reaching people. But it’s all worth it on those days when some random listener sends an email out of the blue to tell me just how much I’ve affected them.

@jann ¯_(ツ)_/¯ You’re free to stop listening. Policing how people talk is rude.

Last night I saw a Punisher flag decal on the back of a Subaru wagon and boy is that a very confusing vibe or what

@flargh I just pulled up behind a Prius with a Let’s Go Brandon sticker and was equally confused.

Absolutely delighted (should I say chuffed?) to be the first guest on the new @relay show, Paper Places, hosted by Kerry Provenzano. Kerry and I talk about writing, editing manuscriprs, the mystery of the first advance, and more! https://www.relay.fm/paperplaces/1

A few significant things that Apple didn't mention in its iPad keynote: bye bye home button iPads, Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro updates for Mac, and the cost of nanotexture. https://sixcolors.com/post/2024/05/what-apple-didnt-mention-in-its-ipad-keynote/

The Pencil Pro gets Find My, but I'm still losing my Apple TV Remote between the cushions?!

I thought you couldn't touch the nano-texture finish on the other displays. What magic is happening here?

Fun fact for those of you who have read ALL SOULS LOST: Mike Lucifer’s office is in a real building in Union Square. I’ve never been up to the top floor but it looks like the kind of place a spiritual consultant might hang out his shingle. Wave to Irma!
