Look for an Apple Vision for holiday 2024. Likely no cameras on the front, no 4k, 1080p using current Sony micro LED liquid retina or some new buzzword. Plastic, polycarbonate frame. No extra straps or charger. Runs the full catalog of vison pro apps. Starting at $1,999. You heard it here first.

It’s been three days in Kiryat Gate listening to the distant thunder of rockets landing. Women, children, the infirm are being slaughtered but this time in history those who perpetrated these acts will discover Jewish blood is not free & carries a steep cost.

I’m in Kiryat Gat at the moment, spent most of the day on the mamad amidst the rockets. Quiet this morning but that just means they’re shelling Tel Aviv. New Grandsons Bris is Wed. Waiting to hear if mohel was called up.

Apple's iPhone 15 is boring. Google and Samsung Android phones are far more innovative. It’s just that simple IMHO. www.businessinsider.com/iphone-15-fe...

Using iOS 17 reminds me of an old girlfriend. Very pretty to look at but frustrating because she insisted things be done her way or not at all. As you figured, we broke up.

The Allen iPhone comes with USB C, because Apple has a commitment to lead the market in standards such as this. Please ignore the higher prices.

For the first time in more than a decade, not going to live post Apple event. It's going to be an iPhone. The best iPhone Apple has ever made. It will come in stunning colors. It's amazing & we can't wait to see what you do with it.

The good news is we finally stopped seeing nonsense articles about how NFTs are the next big thing and everyone should invest. Unfortunately, those have been replaced with how AI is going to destroy humanity in the next 5 years, after it takes everyone's jobs.

I was an early IG user and just posted my food pictures there which were then cross posted to Twitter. Then came Zuck and I deleted my account (along with Facebook). So I joined threads where I will just describe what my good looks like but not lost pictures.

It's probably as good a time as any for Zuckerberg to try and copy the features of some other services and integrate into his own. But seriously? Does the world really want a Facebook/Twitter? Talk about the possibility of giving us the worst of both worlds in one single application

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

It's my favorite little fact about Coronado! Also there's a very odd little placard in the Hotel Del stating that he claims to have designed the crown-shaped chandeliers in the Crown Room (where Ozma was crowned in the books!) but that they've since been replaced with bigger ones lol. I feel like

Went to Oz last night (the San Diego city of Coronado, where L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and a bunch of other Oz books. He patterned the Emerald City after the Hotel Del Coronado, some of which is visible in the background)

Last night's full moon rising over a beach. The silhouettes of people are visible against the moonlight and its reflection in the water and wet sand. Lighted buildings are visible in the background.

Doing some very anecdotal research here but please help me out. Are you aware of any K-12 school (or school system) that uses iPads as a primary student computing device? If not, what do they use. Tks.

For anyone keeping track, this isn’t even the first time they’ve completely broken the site by bumbling around in the rate limiter. There’s a reason the limiter was one of the most locked down internal tools. Futzing around with rate limits is probably the easiest way to break Twitter.

Theranos comparisons are overused but OceanGate really fits: ✅ warnings from insiders/experts dismissed or threatened ✅ hacky, unsustainable shortcuts labeled as “innovations” ✅ hubris bordering on megalomania ✅ paper thin veneer of legitimacy w/ respectable board member/key employees

The Titan Submersible Was “An Accident Waiting to Happen”

Interviews and e-mails with expedition leaders and employees reveal how OceanGate ignored desperate warnings from inside and outside the company. “It’s a lemon,” one wrote.

Nope it is a joke, a dumb joke on both of them, but a joke nonetheless. We will be laughing at them, not with them. Does the NYT have nothing better to do than published junk like this? www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/technolo…
