This is definitely a tech bro car, and every current Ferrari is hideous in a few different ways. If they're just catering to the tastes of the modern nouveau riche, that just reinforces my view that they have no taste. This is like a worse Amalfi which already looks boring.

You mean middle click for that in general or three finger taps specifically? Middle clicking has been able to do that in Safari for as long as I can remember, and Terminal supports X11 middle click paste.

The fact that Apple does not charge by API request is one of the the most developer friendly things they do especially for small developers. Look at the pricing structure for Google Maps alone. It's nickel and diming for every small thing and it adds up. Plus, Google doesn't charge for use on...

The effect on Crossover is my main concern. I have a handful of Windows software I occasionally need for work, and it'd be a pain to have to switch to a VM and all the overhead that entails.

It is very frustrating. Just give me the unprocessed photo! Halide isn't as simple to use as the regular camera app, and 90% of what I even want to photograph are animals that aren't going to sit around while I futz with an app. I've also noticed focus issues even when set to manual which is...

I was reflexively going to say that you always need to filter by competed sales since people ask for ridiculous prices some times. The completed sales for my Studio are even more ridiculous than what's available now! Doesn't even matter if it's used or sealed. It's high enough that I'm almost...

Do you mean if an M5 is out while you're on back order? Apple will call and cancel the order. That happened to me when trying to order an SE for my wife before the 16e was out.

Liquid Glass wouldn't have been such a disaster on macOS if it had just taken an extra year like the iOS 7 style. I feel like it's a little bit like the whole Elop fiasco with Nokia. That had way more of an air of deliberate sabotage, but there's no way Dye was poached in the six weeks between...

There's a python library that exactly handles converting STEP files to GLB, cascadio. I haven't used that myself, but I have encountered the parent trimesh library. Applying a texture to the result would not be difficult.

If AirPower had worked out, there almost certainly would have been a mouse that could charge while using it as a pad.

As a society, we need to bring back real italics. The machine made slight tilt is barely noticeable and bold is too much.

According to the RIAA i.e. US only, digital download are now 12% of their peak in 2012 ($271m versus $2.1b). It's 9% inflation adjusted. For reference, physical sales are $1.3B and streaming $9.3B. Downloads had a good period from 2008 to 2014/2015 even being the largest part of the market for a...

It's a consequence of cramming more and more hardware and battery. The 3GS still had a bit of empty space in it, but the 4 and up are crammed full. MagSafe makes having a case that gives a smooth curve problematic too. I suppose there could be one with a recess for people that don't need/want...

From what I've read, the main issue is probably that there isn't full parity between platforms. If you need a feature not available on macOS, that's a hard roadblock. So that is something that had to be prepared for in advance along side performance issues due to poorer optimzation. Epic has a...

An iPad Mini unfolded size with iPad apps is a compelling use case. If Pencil support makes it in, then it could be sold as a literal digital notebook. The most recent rumor I've seen is that it will be "gimmicky dual screen functionality" which seems much less useful.

The lack of CPU and size breakdown makes the chart a little misleading whether it is by revenue or somehow by unit. Plus, the base M Macbook Pro was still the Touch Bar model for most of 2023 so it was literally a completely different product than the Pro and Max even without any other category...

If you take the BumpyMesh example above, it's an obvious mess to someone with any amount of experience with the 3D library it's using, three.js. It doesn't use really basic functionality of the library, uses a version from 2024, and doesn't even render a simple cube with any kind of...

The problem with subscriptions is that the normalization of them has had awful effects. The best case is as you describe, but things rarely get to that level even for an app that's otherwise okay. One that actively irritates me is Halide. It does offer a purchase of $60 which is way too high for...

Antennagate was almost entirely BS. The 4 was literally the only phone that could get any reception at all in my apartment at the time even if you "held it wrong". I'm not denying that there was no impact on reception, but it was such manufactured outrage.

I don't personally work on custom enterprise apps for Vison Pro, but I do work adjacent to people that do some in-house VR development. What I've heard from them is that the hardware is the best, but the lack of OpenXR support was a hard roadblock for them. There doesn't even seem to be a third...
