It’s the storage prices that tend to give people sticker shock. Though for just being a media server you can get away with a spinning disc rather than an SSD. But they’re still kind of insane right now.
The copy on this page doesn’t feel “Apple” to me. “Apple HomeView is designed to bring more joy and convenience to everyone in your household. Siri AI comes built in for personalized AI assistance that’s truly useful in…
My original mortgage lender has a very functioning web portal to set up autopay and check my account. They sold my mortgage to a big bank whose web portal and app are pure garbage. Constantly crashing, the autopay…
I’d argue the fact that the hardware is still big and clunky means the tech isn’t workable. If it was about as light and easy to get on and off as a chunky pair of ski-goggles I think they’d have been onto something,…
NICE! You should buy a lottery ticket!
These things have usable lifespans of about 2-4 years before the batteries start to go (depending on how low a capacity you can tolerate). It’s more like you buy the one available at the time when your old ones wear out.
I really miss the BeatsX headphones where it’s 2 earbuds attached to each other with a flexible cable that drapes over the back of your neck. It was nice to be able to take my headphones out without needing to hold them…
This was a style thing that tended to ebb and flow. The trend in the 2000s was to have really big watch faces but by the 2010s people were calling them “dinner plates” and it started to be viewed as kind of tacky and…
The Vision Pro (and the folding iPhone Duo) involve developing a lot of underlying technologies that will be useful in currently popular or potential future product lines, even if the market they serve themselves is…
If you went back in time to 2006 and showed a cellular Apple Watch and an iPhone (with no apps for either) side by side I think a lot of people would assume the former would be the ubiquitous consumer product and the…
Regulations do prevent murder, you just put consequences on doing murder to deter people from doing it.
A slot machine that rolls sentences based on statistical weights isn’t a “messenger” and it’s output isn’t a “message.”
Yeah as soon as I hit the gaucho section my clanker alarm started going off like crazy.
I don’t think there’s inherent virtue in zagging just because everyone else zags if zigging is better. There’s trade-offs, but in most cases the Apple call has tended to err on the side of ease of use and ease of access…
Co-sign. This is one of the reasons I’ve always loved NetNewsWire as my RSS reader and few things have been able to displace it. Everything is doable by keyboard, and the keyboard commands are extremely logical and…
I feel like video game logic would be useful here where a view like this would replace the main view and the “macro view” would be a minimap in the corner.
Stay-at-home moms/housewives were the load bearing pillar for that whole lifestyle.
My best situation was a commute to work that was about 45 minutes door to door and involved a 30 minute bus ride. I mostly got to read novels on the bus. It was nice. I was childless and petless then though. The thought…
I will say I dislike remote work in terms of how it serves me at work. But having a 100% remote job has made me far more able to maintain my house and be present for my children when they’re still very young. So if we…
I’ve long believed that making companies liable for paying damages if PII is leaked in a data breach would be the best way to stop excessive tracking. If you force them to have to manage user data like they’re handling…
How nice of the EU to have determined for the rest of the world that the “cultural expectation” should be that every business do the design equivalent of wearing clown makeup.
There are, like, two countries where TFR is even close to 6. And there’s about 20 where it’s higher than 4. And since those countries also tend to have sky high infant-mortality rates, the global average population…
I didn’t mean home schooling specifically but the assertion, and the general sentiment, that parental input is the only determinant that matters when it comes to the development of children into healthy and…
Back when smoking was more normal we basically did leave it up to Big Tobacco to determine how best to tackle underage smoking and they would literally say insane things like “Oh course we’re not targeting elementary…
You’re trying to engineer a social interaction. Stop that! People remembering your handle is persistent, and people remembering if they had good or annoying interactions with you is persistent reputation that exists in…
