"This will mean saying goodbye to some incredibly talented people (as Jack Welsh would have said: Give me the lemons) we worked hard to hire and have loved working with (what can we say - treat we were made a mistake and are happy to formally have a pretext to fire them?) . I'm deeply sorry for that," (so happy) Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a blog post. "The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me ( the weight of money - bonus, here I come), and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us here." (I don‘t know what ist means, but I read it on the back of a machtlos and it sounded good)

So much for the „MBP with M2 delayed once again“-rumors, I suppose.

I pulled the trigger in December replacing my i2017 iMac 5k with a 16“ M1 Max + screen and with the discount I got plus the price hike here in Europe I totally don‘t regret not to have waited.  The only thing I catch myself occasionally still doing is reaching up formte keyboard to double tap a word, or move the cursor on the screen, like I‘m used to do on my iPad/magic keyboard combo. So much for pristine screens as well, I suppose ;-)

Wonkothesane lives in California. You must be an imposter!

No, that‘s my twin ;-)

In other news the iPhone 17 is rumored to have a flux capacitor to facilitate time travel. Film at 11. 

That‘s already reserved for the Apple Car.

I‘m, not a dev, but having something like the dynamic island introduced as the next big thing after sliced bread, and having me pouring resources into it, only to learn that is is a stopgap solution, really could have the potential to p*ss me off. OTOH, that‘s the way tech sometimes goes, I suppose.
