One thing that could potentially give CarPlay a better chance would be if Apple made it more of an open architecture and provided a way for automakers to personalize the implementation using their own UX design, data models, workflows, logic, and in…

I would be surprised if more than a tiny percentage of Apple users are taking advantage of the math features in Notes. It is a clever tool but it fills a narrow niche. I’ve used tools like MathCAD since the 1980s and they are extremely useful for so…

This looks very intriguing and it will be interesting to see how it’s implemented on lower and mid tier car brands and models. There seems to be a trend with some automakers to use proprietary systems both for differentiation and monetizing what the…

I like software defects getting fixed, especially ones with security implications. I’d be happy if Apple rolled out security updates every week whether or not they threw in a few refinements in existing apps. Some of the updates seem very narrowly f…

Touch is great for kiosks, POS terminals, HMIs, and other applications where keyboards get in the way. If touch screens are square pegs, I have no problem using them with devices that have a square hole that needs filling. I too often feel that tech…

I’m taking a wait & see approach on this. I’m probably closer to @AppleZulu on this in terms of implementation. I see no need for another screen in the house, especially with open floor plans where the primary TV/media hub is in view from the ki…

I'm very happy with Vivaldi browser and DuckDuckGo for web search. Like others, I use ChatGPT mostly and CoPilot and Gemini on occasion a lot more than any search engine these days. I have found Safari to be more compatible with some web sites, incl…

The gist of the statements from Eddy Cue are that many things we see as "permanent" today will eventually be replaced. When, where, how, and in what form factor their replacements take shape and occur is mostly speculative at this time because uncer…

Apple brought this on themselves by being considerate, sharing, and trying to raise the tide so the multitude of smaller independent software vendors (ISVs) and hobby/side-hustle software developers could have an easier way to get their software off…

The Apple battery cases that I tried always caused the compass to cease to work normally. Overall I thought they were dreadful. On the other hand, bringing back some MagSafe battery modules in various capacities would be very useful for those occasi…

I switched to Unifi six years ago but I still have my Time Capsule. I will be retiring it very soon because it’s very slow even with gigabit Ethernet. I turned off the WiFi and routing on the Time Capsule when I moved to Unifi. I have nothing but p…

There are a few of these USB-C docks that place the Mac mini on its side. If anything, this orientation will probably improve the WiFi performance. There is definitely a market for these docks and they are not expensive compared to TB4/TB5 docks. Y…

All of these non-TB form fitting USB-C docks for the new Mac mini have similar bandwidth issues. The ones with built-in M.2 NVMe sockets give you more storage but it’s not particularly speedy. The upside is that you can slap in an inexpensive SSD dr…

Somebody needs to come up with a tiny Find My tag to put on reading glasses. Or maybe just a lightweight Find My tag on an eyeglass holder (lanyard) that works with any glasses, especially sunglasses.

Although I’m 100% against the tariffs because they are ignoring the value proposition that free trade helps foster, I’m at the point now where I’m waiting to see what actually will happen rather than speculating about what might happen. I firmly be…

anonymouse said: Unfortunately, all the robot arms — as well as legs, heads and torsos — will be subject to tariffs. You are pretty much correct. None of the top 10 industrial robot manufacturers are based in the United States. Some of the…

I’m skeptical about Apple being spread too thin … on resources. I’m more inclined to think that the resources they have, including financial ones, schedule, and brainpower, are overly spread out trying to go after too many things all at once. I’d ra…
