Sounds like an iPad mini with the mobility of a HomePod. Unless this thing is cheap (it won’t be), why not just get an iPad mini.

It should go without saying, but spoiler alert for the season finale!

I found that Siri is a little more useful for answering questions with ChatGPT, but outside of that I don’t think I’ve come across another situation where I’ve needed Apple Intelligence.

I’ll check it out. I don’t normally tune in, but they have a good show.

I just listened to the Search Engine podcast episode covering ANOM last night! Completely wild the reach of this program entailed.

Link to the episode for those that are interested.

Two hours? Geeze. Can’t imagine how I’d kill time at the mall for that long, but I’d still do it.

That’s a fair assessment. Now’s a good time to experiment with cables since it’s Black Friday.

That’s actually not a bad idea. Thanks for the recommendation.

I inspected the port before posting to rule it out. Clean as a whistle!

As much as I am glad that we transitioned from lightning to USB-C, port durability was never an issue.

Imagine having to factory reset a kidney to perform better in a transplant.

On the bright side, if you sell the device someone else could upgrade the storage after the fact.

Damn, and here I thought Covid was supposed to make my memory worse.

I’m concerned for my American friends that have just elected a leader that believes that, and I’m paraphrasing here, “if they stopped testing, they wouldn’t have any cases” as well as hired a guy firmly bent on undermining vaccines and vaccine information.

If you check your local library, you might already have access to a DVD set.

I highly recommend a MagSafe-compatible case if you’re thinking of getting into the ecosystem. Even a thin TPU case is enough to keep your phone from docking correctly, if at all.

In case anyone else misinterpreted the headline, Apple is not shelving the Vision Pro as a product line—just the current Gen 1 headset.

Apple has abruptly reduced production of the Vision Pro headset and could stop making the current version of the device completely by the end of 2024, The Information reports.

Citing multiple people “directly involved” in making components for the headset, the report says that the scaling back of production began in the early summer. This indicates that Apple now has a sufficient number of Vision Pro units in its inventory to meet demand for the device’s remaining lifespan through to next year.

*Edited for emphasis.

The irony isn’t lost on me!

Most likely an unpopular opinion, but I took this opportunity to try something new and made the switch to macOS at home as my daily device. If I do end up gaming, I’ll probably just get myself a Steam Deck.

My wife’s 12.9 iPad Pro (whichever model when they switched over to flat edges) seemingly bent in her case. We’re generally very good with tech and have never put the iPad in a position that it could have gotten bent.
