Man I want an R2 even more now. Rivian is cooking 🔥

Heard about the RAM price increases. Can't believe I paid $138 for this months ago holy crap

Partly considering moving from Safari to a Chromium browser because I had no idea how much faster the full screen video transition was

Quite a few have asked which robo vac I landed on, and (not sponsored!) I landed on the Dreame L40 Ultra. Under $500 on BF sale right now and has pretty much every modern feature you'd want. Only gripe is I wish it was shorter

I was trying to figure out what kind of plant was growing next to my ginkgo and I finally dug it up. My neighbor feeds blue jays peanuts, and one must have dropped a peanut into my plant bed. Nature is wild

TIL that M4 Macs (but not M5?) support HDMI CEC, could be cool for a home theater PC (I don't think any PCs support this?) support.apple.com/en-ca/108928
Connect to HDMI from your Mac - Apple Support (CA)
Mac computers can use an HDMI cable or adapter to connect to a TV, display, or other HDMI device.

Picked up a new robot vacuum and it's remarkable the progress these make every few years. Some of my favorite tech, period

This month is my 10 year anniversary of graduating with a Computer Science degree and I've still never had to manually write a linked list :)

If today's USB-A Defender Squad existed 25 years ago we'd still have floppy disks

Anyone who mains the AirPods Max try out the new Sennheiser HDB 630s? Considering making the jump and curious to hear thoughts

Saw a bunch of posts wondering how the App Store logo works (is it just sticks??), so I made a little 3D printed visualization of the 3 tilted app icons that come together to make it, it's really quite clever!

Makes for a fun desk ornament too ☺️

Curious for folks who have gone from an M1 series Mac to an M… higher: does Xcode's AI autocomplete load any quicker on the newer chips? I yearn for Cursor level speed but I assume Xcode is trying to do it all locally?

My spooky Halloween surprise was… after a half decade it looks like one of the mini LEDs in my XDR finally gave up the ghost. 575 to go 😢

Nothing nerve-wracking at all about getting an unprompted email from App Review late on a Friday with no details 🙃

Anyone ever do a good writeup on using VS Code or Cursor in lieu of Xcode? Seems capable but curious how folks improve the base autocomplete (ideally to match Xcode's) plus warnings/compiling

Okay I give up: how does Codex permission model work? I want it to ALWAYS ask for approval like this. Normally it does great, sometimes it just claims it can't do this anymore despite /status being identical

Claude is so much dumber than Codex but the tooling is so much better

God help me I want a second monitor and those Aliexpress knock off 6K monitors look pretty tempting

With the Vision Pro getting the dual headband now I just wish they'd fully commit and make a Vision Pro Hat

Designing a new app and it's taking every ounce of my strength to not spend the entire development budget on app icons

Will the new Claude model see the end of the "You're absolutely right!" era?

The year is 2045, robots walk among us, but connecting a new device to Xcode still prevents you from being able to do any work until it's finished
