Apple's OS blender
As someone who has been covering this ecosystem for nearly twenty years, the biggest shift this year, and my single biggest takeaway from the keynote, was a fundamental change in how Apple presented their software updates.
For many years, WWDC keynotes followed a highly predictable format. After a brief introduction, Apple would put up title
Touch Macs are already here
Apple's WWDC kicked off yesterday, and there is one update in particular that struck me, the Sidecar feature now lets you directly manipulate macOS with your finger. As you can see from the video, it's literally macOS's standard UI that's completely usable with a finger. Scroll views
The first "Quick" app wasn't Quick Reviews
I'd actually forgotten about this, but the first thing I ever made that was in my "Quick" collection wasn't actually Quick Reviews, it was QuickPin! As I wrote in 2016, QuickPin was a Chrome extension that let you save links to Pinboard with a single click.

Loupe is a simple new app for iOS that shows how many things native apps can see about you and your device, lots of which is available without requesting elevated permissions. It's a fun app, but what I love about it is how it shows the range of things that native apps have

The tech behind NBA broadcasts
As someone who did most of the jobs Marques talked about here for college basketball (and football and vollyball) years ago, this video really resonated with me. I've been out of the game for about 12 years at this point, but in a way it's heartening to see that a lot

The 4 day work week dream
Mike (just Mike): Can we have the day off?
If AI is going to 10x our productivity across the board, that means that I should be able to produce the same amount of output by midday on Monday that, in the before times, would have taken all week.

Who's getting wealthier in America?
One concept I'm obsessed with is the general idea of whether things (art, money, anything) are getting worse, or if we're just nostalgic for when we were younger and simply didn't know as much as we do today. I also like throwing data at my opinions about the world

The Steam Deck starting price is 2x what it was a year ago
The original Steam Deck launched four years ago to massive praise, and I was one of those people who absolutely loved it.
