IMO I don't think there would be much to strip down. It would turn into a $3000 device from a $3500 device. Most of the cost is the OLED screens and you probably still need passthrough.

One thing that peeves me is indie games that are made in Unity or Unreal and ship for the Switch and Windows, but they don't bother to check the "build for macOS" button and end up being Windows only. Beyond galaxyland is my recent example of this.

One thing I'm looking forward to in AI is taking a directory of 4000 scanned family photos and automatically organizing them by predicted fuzzy date ranges based on the ages of people inside them.

Man some of these kook really cool

I journal via taking photos. The more it could be automated, the better. Automated journaling is too marginal of a category to get good apps for it tho

Calendar: Did you know it’s CHRISTMAS!?

Yeah I know the feeling. I'm in the health space so I want to get things ready for new years.

I have now officially lost one airpod to water. I guess I'm lucky after 6 years of owning them.

It's hard to beat the experience of speakers over headphones. My Kanto ORAs just sound better compared to similarly priced headphones.

Have you been trying it out directly or with a code editor like cursor? You might find it better in an ai code editor.

Does anybody know of a swift formatter that lets you format complicated enum data structures like they are if statements?

Looks like if you want to do local LLM model inference, used 2x 3090s is still the way to go. The M4 series is at most 1.5x better than the equivalent M1 series chip, which was still outclassed by the 3090 by a large margin back then too.

Windows night light is surprisingly good, actually goes full red light mode and doesn’t slow down the computer like macOS night shift does

Its the built in audience and effort levels. Put a 5h post on substack and nobody sees it. Fart out a video on tiktok and get 2000 views. Make a one off demo loom video in 30m vs. edit your text, make screenshots is faster for you the author, etc.

1/2 Using AI has been a big part of my process dealing with crippling nerve pain that I’ve seen over 50 doctors for. I had to try because most of the doctors I saw were clueless and recommended overly specific answers for systemic pain, only getting worse as time went on, taking over my whole life.

Talking to users is always a great idea.

Love how zippy the bsky web app is

The App Store era must end, and the Mac is the model Personal computers started out simple. So simple that you could just type in programs and run them, save them, and even give them to your friends. But over time, things got more complicated. A lot …

The era of the exclusive App Store needs to end. Fortunately, Apple's already got this figured out: the Mac is the model.

With AI, devs are going to use libraries less and just make their own janky versions even more, because thats easier than learning a new library.
