Very much looking forward to this. Boy do they have a tough act (of their own creation) to follow.

@tantramar Concur. But Amazon is flailing a bit at the moment and I don’t see that changing. The push into sports and other live events by all of them will continue to roil the streaming waters. It’s all too messy to figure out where it’s heading.

@tantramar @jsnell I do listen to it. Good podcast.

@GottaLaff Political suicide just doesn’t work the same anymore when you’re dealing with so many dull knives in the drawer.

The “can you do work on an iPad” debate is so simple.

Some folks can and others can’t. Some people want to push the iPad harder than others, while some folks want to use what they’re familiar with.

I promise we can all just use the computer we want and be okay.

@ismh Wait. Stop. There’s no room for common sense on the Internet.

What cracks me up is when you go to a restaurant, and they ask if you've been there before, and then they say, "Well, we do things a little different here", and then it's exactly like every other restaurant, but more expensive.

@RickiTarr I’ve twice responded to that comment with “Does that mean you don’t wash the dishes?"

If you know there’s fuckery afoot, why are you proceeding as normal and why shouldn’t I be suspicious of your motives during an on-going slow coup.

Thoughts on Thoughts About New iPad Pros

Let iPads be iPads. Trying to be all things to all people doesn't work in life, and I don't think it works in tech.

Hmmm. I’m sure there are many productive things one can do with their life having a brain compromised by a worm eating a hole in it and poisoned by a love of tuna fish sandwiches, but POTUS isn’t one of them. wtf.

You can’t judge a book by its cover.

You can judge a Presidential candidate by his impeachment, civil suits, criminal charges, Russian associations, racism, misogyny and sexual assault allegations.

Showing the M4 chip so early gives Apple a rare opportunity to show off high-end iOS 18 AI features at WWDC that might otherwise have relied on the new SoCs in September's iPhones

@stroughtonsmith Feels somewhat similar to the iPhone 15 Pro models containing cameras that could film spatial video prior to the release of AVP.

CREW:

The fact that Tim Scott is refusing to say he’d follow the law and not try to overthrow the results of a free and fair election should scare anyone listening. This is how democracies end.

👇🏼
WELKER: Will you commit to accepting the 2024 election results?

TIM SCOTT: At the end of the day, the 47th president will be Donald Trump

WELKER: Wait -- yes or no, will you accept the results?

TIM SCOTT: That is my statement

@WarnerCrocker@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Watching Tim Scott waffle as he pretends he actually has a viable shot at the VP slot has moved from the comical to the tragic-comic back to pure comedy.

Wonder what’s on the Apple OS horizon within the next day or so? Or is it fixing things from last week?

My long standing iCloud issue happened this morning which is typically an early warning sign that something’s coming.
