Om was relentlessly kind, compassionate, and insightful. The world is poorer for his passing but rich in his legacy. Rest easy, you dented this universe hard 💗

Rare throwback post: all caps LOVE IT if iOS didn’t kneecap pcores on a 17 Pro Max at 10am. Billions of dollars in bleeding-edge silicon - and a new vapor chamber! - all bombed back generations because the system panics under atypical load despite the best battery and chonkiest thermal envelope ever

YouTube is now the leading way Americans watch video, but its rise hasn’t come without controversy. The company’s chief executive, Neal Mohan, discussed free speech, the platform’s dominance over TV and Hollywood, its impact on children, A.I. slop and more. Read, watch or listen to “The Interview.”

We keep moments in cache, we write memories to drive. Three years at YouTube and the constant pull forward is only made possible by the people, places, and events that have pushed so far. Here are shared some of those moments made memory, in deep appreciation and gratitude. And to everything next!

@gruber.foo re: daringfireball.net/linked/2025/... My recollection (and it might well be wrong!) was that Apple thought if they allowed alternate in-app (or from-app to web), every app (and game) on the store would go free with alt IAP or web links

Downstairs neighbor said they could hear the vibrations from the espresso machine, so I moved the table over the garage instead, put down a layer of vibration isolating sorbothane, then a layer of food-grade silicon, then bar mats. I’m eager to see how much it helps. Anyone else try to solve this?
