I feel like tech companies are highly overestimating how much the average person wants an “AI device”.

I keep seeing people post about how they burn through their extra Claude usage and I'm just wondering how tf do they have extra usage?

"Abdul hates football" has to be one of the most desperate Mike Rogers ads I've seen so far...

If there's one company i'm definitely not trusting with a personal agent it's definitely Meta.

Another Saturday, another Michigan game. Go Blue! #MichiganFootball

Politicians pushing for an “AI kill switch” don’t realize how much the genie is already out of the bottle.

I’ve been hitting the limits on my Max Claude plan way more in the last couple of weeks than I ever have. Nothing crazy has changed in my workflow either.

Rough game for the Lions…

I mean, I feel like it often tells me things that, when I dig into it, aren’t entirely true. This isn’t really surprising.

When I first started using iOS 27, I had to retrain my brain that Siri is actually useful.

Lions football is back!

I’ve been using iOS 27 for a bit now. Siri is much better in this version, but still not as capable as other AIs.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

With the launch of iPhone Duo is it a weird time to launch an app? I think @mackinac.social will adapt well to the screen based on some of the developer docs.

John Whiteside @whiteside.io · 10/09/2026

I will say that transition when you open the iPhone Duo is kinda cool.

John Whiteside @whiteside.io · 09/09/2026

Did Apple really only announce a Pro and Duo iPhone? No base-level iPhone?

John Whiteside @whiteside.io · 09/09/2026

Still not a fan of foldable phones.

I think I finally solved an annoying issue in @mackinac.social the caused you to lose accounts in the account selector.

Hopefully this isn’t true.

Not a bad beach day. 📍Lake Michigan

A calm body of water under a clear blue sky, with a sandy bottom visible through the shallow, clear water.

Beautiful day in St. Ignace.

A dark wooden picnic table sits in the foreground, with green bushes just behind it. Beyond the bushes is a sandy beach leading to calm blue water, with a distant landmass visible under a clear blue sky.

I’m becoming more and more interested in setting up a local LLM, but unfortunately, I just don’t have the hardware.

Not very many night swims left in Michigan.

A backyard swimming pool with deep blue water, surrounded by a white fence and trees in the background.

I don’t think I had Mapquest being a thing again in 2026 on my bingo card.

I’m walking the Mackinac bridge on Monday and I’m super stoked about it!

John Whiteside @whiteside.io · 01/09/2026

Over the last day or so, I learned that MapQuest is still a thing.

The @mackinac.social native app is getting very close to being in a good spot to do a public beta!

Every vision Zuck has for the future sounds like a dystopia I don’t want to live in. I don’t think he understands how actual humans live in the real world.
