Say what you want about Elon (Tesla cars have many design problems), but he's gotten more done in Twitter in two weeks than the previous leadership did in a few years. Wouldn't bet against him.

Yea, but it's a lot easier to destroy things than it is to create them. Taking a sledgehammer to a china cabinet is extraordinarily productive if your goal is to smash things.

That would suck. T-Mobile has been the best thing to happen in the mobile industry since the original iPhone came out. They have single-handedly driven pricing out of the stratosphere with their aggressive plans. I used to pay $360 with a pittance allowance of data for my family of 4. It's down to $160 now with a large amount of data that rolls over.

What really sucks is that the people who could prevent such a merger couldn't care less about the American consumer. We are lower than used toilet paper on their scale of concern. There is absolutely nothing that can stop this.

Kind of a no-brainer really. Good luck GM.

• Also not clear is why Twitter didn't retain the blue checkmark for verified accounts, and implement a different color or shape for the paid subscriptions.

Right? Dead simple solution but Elon's crazed fever mind couldn't come up with it.

I bet they hear Siri being called "idiot" a lot. That's my go to response when it tries to take me to an address 3 states away instead of the same address 3 miles away. I have literally had it complain that it could not find a route to England from the US. The assumption that I was looking for a way to drive across the Atlantic to the UK is just flawed on so many levels. It has zero sense of geographical context. And it seems like it would be so easy to fix. Just assume I want the closest match. Idiot.

You need iOS 16.4 and its accessed through the Daily Cash option in the AppleCard "three dot" menu.

Is it just me, or is the Reddit website basically unusable on phones? The text of posts is broken down to one or two words per line and scrolls to infinity and beyond making it virtually impossible to read. I always figured it must be something I am doing wrong since surely someone at Reddit would have noticed this by now and been so embarrassed that they would try to get it fixed. But it has been that way for a very long time now.

I will reiterate how amazingly good the AppleCard is for travel. There are no transaction fees and the exchange rates are for all intents and purposes the rate you will find on Google. When I fill out my company expense reports, I often get more back for expenses than I actually spent because the transaction rate is so low. An added bonus is that virtually everywhere in Europe takes contactless payments. I didn't even have to take my physical card out on recent trips to Europe.

I will admit that the last time I took my card out, I noticed some disappointing wear on it.

The APR could be a million percent for all I care. If you have to carry a balance, use a different card.

The industrial design of the MBP14/16 and M2 MBA are great. I've been using a work issued M1 Pro MBP16 for the past that month, and it's probably the best Mac laptop ever.
