I haven’t used my iPad since iPadOS 26 officially came out. The removal of its multitasking functionality has made it worse at multitasking than my Mac and worse at single app use than my iPhone. I have no idea what I should use my iPad for anymore. Apple killed the product.

Meta is fucking up this marketing so bad. Nobody wants AI glasses with a screen.

Just like nobody wanted an MP3 player with flash storage.

People wanted a 1000 songs in their pocket.

And a recommendation to use AI in government work. Despite AI being, ya know, bad, and not effective at all.

Glad the “Department” of Government Efficiency met to waste all this time and brainpower.

They also recommended changes to teacher pay which Reynold said they were already doing. So a second redundancy and waste of time.

So this task force recommended changes to IPERS, the Reynolds promptly said wouldn’t be considered and were already being discussed by the legislature. So that’s one big point of redundancy and waste of time, money, and effort.

The GOP REALLY doesn’t want Americans to have affordable health insurance. And actually, the less health insurance you have the better.

I thought Trump declared woke drag ideology illegal. Seems the DOT is violating that.

We can't lower the cost of healthcare or give children free breakfast/lunch at school, or house the unhoused.
But we CAN afford:
$172M for 2 private jets for Kristi Noem
$250M Ballroom
$2M Patio
$1B to update a "free jet"
$3.3M weekend golf
$6M for Hegseth to berate the military

No, not the Apple TV box.
No, not the Apple TV app.

My point to all this being, 635 days since release and I don’t feel a lot of confidence nor commitment to this product from Apple.

And many of the preinstalled apps (like Pages, Reminders, Stocks, News, Home, etc…) are still not visionOS native. They run in iPad mode.

It’s also the 5th featured product on the Apple home page (out of 7). It’s being beaten by M5 MacBook Pro, M5 iPad Pro, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air.

Also, anyone find it odd that outside of its WWDC debut, Vision Pro has yet to make an appearance at an Apple Event?

I'm glad to see Apple Vision Pro get its first hardware upgrade. But my problem with Vision Pro is still this. My eyes. I can't use it. And it doesn't seem like Apple or ZEISS have taken steps to address this yet.

Uhhhh, given that the government is shut down and the yearly appropriations have expired, does anyone know where the funds for the Argentina bailout are coming from?

Apple TV+ was never a great name, but 5 years in and lacking some kind of alternative, it was fine. Whoever had the brilliant idea to rebrand it with the exact same name as 2 other products out to be stoned at the gate. That is infinitely worse.

Not to be confused with watching Apple TV on Apple TV on a non-Apple TV.

Started playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim today. WOW. From a visual perspective, this game is amazing. The battles have so far been good, but I’m waiting for them to pick up. The story is intriguing and engaging. I can’t wait to get more into what this game has to offer!

I can’t think of a good product Eddy has been involved in.

Where’s Kevin Lynch? This is the missing executive I want an update on!

“So my message to the air-traffic controllers who work for DOT is: ‘Show up for work. You have a job to do,’” Duffy said.

It’s only a job if you’re getting paid.
