@SnazzyQ I feel like now is a great time to remove the labels from widgets. If you purposely put a widget on your home screen you don’t need a text label reminding you what it is.

@gregjoz Thanks! Can we get a Files app and multitasking that doesn’t suck now?

@themousebase Any plans on doing a vertical mouse base?? I’d KILL for one similar to Logi’s MX Master Vertical mouse. Thanks!

@SnazzyLabs They mentioned you could use it plugged in”all day”, meaning that if you can find a USB-C battery with the right power output you could do what you’re insinuating isn’t possible. I can imagine someone makes a backpack with a big battery for Vision Pro. That would be pretty cool

That aluminum battery looks very affordable. Glad they didn’t just have a USB-C cable that could go to an Anker pack. That’d be stupid.

@reneritchie @YouTubeLiaison More opinion style videos. Most of your videos are now explainers which are great, but J watch your videos because YOU are in them. No reason why you can’t emgive context when doing a opinion video. Would love to hear more of your focused thoughts!

Me too! I’m still making tons of videos for @YouTubeLiaison and Creator Insider … but if I started doing more on my personal channel again, what videos would you want to see?

@reneritchie @gruber When will your video be out? Y’all referenced it a bunch but I didn’t have the opportunity to watch it first lol

Always a pleasure to chat with @gruber . We only had time for 60 minutes, alas, so it probably ended up being over 90 and change...

@JohnLegere Still hind it absolutely hilarious that you and Trump got into a Twitter argument, he becomes president and now he’s getting arrested. I see you enjoy playing the long game John 😈

If you were under a rock yesterday or this morning, it looks like Trump is heading to court next Tuesday on over 30 counts related to business fraud. Waiting to see the official arrest. cnn.com/2023/03/30/pol…

@TailosiveTech The Pro World was literally revolting. Many Pros thought Apple Abandoned them. If they waited till Apple Silicon came they would have lost many of the highest end users to windows. Look at the way this was announced, Apple was forced to release this to keep Pro users happy

@CleatusFetus Apple knew 100% Apple Silicon was right around the corner. So they figured better release this $50K Mac now cause in 2 years we’ll have the ability to outperform it for $4K

Trade in value does not equal value But this is still hilarious 🤣 I am even more convinced now the “upgradeable” Mac Pro was a giant troll move to profit off of the last minute x86 Macs. Apple doesn’t really care about modularity

@TailosiveTech We tend to look at Apple’s prices without thinking about their RND costs. The Mac Pro was a brand new low volume line for Apple. Factoring in RND they might not have broken even given how few the likely sold. Apple made so many one off hardware devices (Afterburner Card) RND $$

@CleatusFetus I know that was the intention of it but the execution was a dated architecture which became outperformed by a device 1/10th the price, it seemed like they cared but in reality it was a massive short term profit. Why push “upgradeable” when you know x86 was gonna die in 2 years?

@TailosiveTech They made the Mac Pro the same way BMW makes racecars. To show the potential of their hardware. The Mac Pro wasn’t a failure, it showed that potential. The unfortunate thing about all this was that its timing was right before Apple Silicon. That’s why in retrospect it looks odd

@TailosiveTech daringfireball.net/2017/04/the_ma… When Apple announced that a new Mac Pro was in the works they announced it months ahead of WWDC. They called all these reporters to have a meeting with Craig and Schiller. The whole point was to show the world that they care about Pros.

@TailosiveTech Man I totally disagree. People think now the Mac is having its golden age. Then people thought Apple would abandon the Mac for iPads. The Mac Pro was to show people Apple was still invested in the Mac and boy did they show that with that and the M-Series Transition

@CleatusFetus Yeah and they failed. They convinced them all to buy super expensive Macs that are “upgradeable” which all became dated in 2 years

@gruber @jsnell @bzamayo youtu.be/6Ij9PiehENA Do y’all think that they filmed this video in 2022 for the iPhone Keynote and ended up cutting it because they couldn’t ship it? It feels odd they went through the hassle of doing a 18 min video they weren’t going to live stream

@elonmusk Why do you hate freedom? You removed the freedom of speech from @tweetbot and @Twitterrific to create apps better than yours

@JoannaStern Sony is a strong brand, why rename to something so stupid. Ah for attention, got it

I A FEEL A this might not actually happen...

@apollozac Some good ole lemon juice should do the trick, do your own research first tho!!

@Elfengleich @alexeheath Completely forgot about this!! Thanks for reminding me.

@CleatusFetus @alexeheath Truth social is a mastodon instance, they just removed the federation.

I totally get why people are trying Mastodon and even enjoying it. It has early Twitter/forum vibes. I’m alexeheath@mas.to there. That said, the server system is a mess and I don’t see how it scales until the friction there is totally gone. Also, there needs to be feed ranking.
