That was an interesting read and I appreciate you sharing a bit of an update on X, but my main takeaway since leaving the platform after Elon bought it (and also joining Bluesky at the same time) was that I realized I just don't need social media in my life much at all.

Update: Made it to my destination guided entirely by the Garmin. It even routed me around a traffic jam. No ads, no subscriptions, just mapping goodness.

There are four of us on staff at The Verge actively testing Googlebooks and, frankly, our internal Slack discussions have been mostly filled with collective venting of frustrations, disappointments, and bewilderment.

I'm going on a 13-hour road trip, once again guided solely by an old-school Garmin dashboard-mounted GPS. (DriveSmart series; I forget what size.) I like that it's a single-purpose device with no ads, no subscriptions, and continues to get map updates.

I haven’t read any reviews of this and don’t know much other than what’s in the trailer, but I’m glad it’s doing well at the box office. It seems like the kind of movie that would normally go direct to streaming and not get much attention.

A great point. Remember the original Apple Watch? Not even Apple knew its raison d'être. A few years the users collectively decided it was for health first, and most other things a distant second.

Any time I think about kicking myself for not buying Apple stock in the mid 1990's, or Bitcoin in the mid 2000's, I look at the M4 Mac Mini (with 24GB RAM) on my desk that I got in the mid 2020's.

I dunno...maybe I'm just out of touch? I don't mean this with any sarcasm or snark, but none of these AI features in #MacOS27 #GoldenGate sound useful or even slightly compelling for me personally. At all. The thing is, I wish they did. But...nope.

This dock-behind-the-menu-bar phenomenon still happens in #MacOS27. It comes and goes, on all three of the Macs I use regularly. I first noticed it in Tahoe, and figured it would get fixed in Golden Gate. It's really not a big deal though; Apple probably has a lot of other bugs to work on.

Woah. This is good news. People may not realize it when they demand this feature, but what they're saying is "I will not buy a car which requires an ongoing subscription to remain fully functional" and it is a good sign GM may be responding to that. carbuzz.com/gm-not-compl...

It’s the hot new thing in tech, and it’s where all the jobs are. Students who don’t learn to use it fall behind. That’s the narrative AI companies are pitching, but according to NYT reporter Natasha Singer, it’s also how the tech industry has built its influence in classrooms for the past 15 years.
