This Instagram account with the leading underscore on the username is NOT me. Please report it for impersonation. (I think it’s blocking me, so I can’t report it myself.)

As a reminder, we've got a limited supply of these mugs. If you want one (or want a backup for your existing one), order before they're all gone… https://atp.fm/store#mug

We all joke and complain about Apple’s upgrade pricing for RAM and SSD space, but it really can’t be said enough. It is, as @snazzyq rightly exclaims in this video, ludicrous. https://youtu.be/u65QuZT1ZJo

@Gabrielbhh It shows up for me.

Now here’s a company that knows how to leverage its market power to crush competition and then shrewdly “self-regulate” at the last possible moment in order to avoid severe consequences (or so it hopes…)

How many times have y’all seen this overlay? I think I‘ve seen it more than ten times now on a single iPhone with a single pair of AirPods.

Apple still thinks 3 TB of SSD storage should cost $1,000.

Kudos to all the various Mastodon instances for not falling over during the WWDC keynote. I used Mastodon just as I would have used Twitter in years past, and it worked great.

This year I’m trying to send a message to Apple with one of the t-shirts in @atpfm’s WWDC sale. It’s the same message I was sending in 2013 when I wrote this: https://hypercritical.co/2013/03/08/the-case-for-a-true-mac-pro-successor

I think Apple should make and support the Mac Pro because it’s an essential part of making “the best computers in the world.”

I believe in the Mac Pro, and I hope some kindred spirits show up at Apple Park during WWDC wearing this (admittedly dorky) shirt to let Apple know that we exist.

I’ve had over a week to digest the new Mac Pro. I try to put it in perspective on the latest episode of @atpfm https://atp.fm/539

I really wish Apple would stop comparing the performance of its products to predecessors that are more than one generation older. Just tell me how much faster it is than the model it's replacing! Yeesh.

(At least that info is in the charts this time.)

Some advice for everyone trying to reproduce this bug https://youtu.be/5Aq2GZpKkLU

Log in a second user! Yes, you can reproduce it with just one logged-in user, but it requires many, many more windows.

(Also try a wired USB mouse, if you can. But the second logged-in user is the important part. It makes it MUCH easier to reproduce.)

OK, @tvaziri, please tell us how Apple spook-ified Johny Srouji‘s lab.

In my rating for The Creator (★★★☆☆), one full star is for what might be listed in anime credits as “mecha design.” The robots, weapons, and especially the vehicles are just so great. They’re like 70s/80s sci-fi paintings come to life. https://boxd.it/oXWq

Here‘s a surprise gift for all you New Year‘s early birds. @yanlyesin was kind enough to donate an @atpfm gift membership for me to give away. I‘ll give it to the first person who is NOT currently an ATP Member who can answer this question correctly:

Which key cap did I break on my original Apple Extended Keyboard II, and how did I break it?
