Faraway, So Micro

I love Maggie Appleton’s website. Both the design and UI, as well as very smart words.

22 of 1,909. It’s a start. 😆

All I’m asking for is if I do a Google search in Safari, my Mac Studio M2 Max powered computer from the future doesn’t have to spin up my external hard drives to do that. Is that too much to ask?

I guess I should’ve gone for 64GB of RAM.

I see Substack in the URL, I get an ick and wait for the pop up while I’m reading the words you wrote deciding if it’s worth hanging around.

I see Buttondown in the URL, I’m likely subscribing because I know you care about your readers.

Any podcast nerds know if a USB-C enabled iOS device (iPad? iPhone 15?) can just take a USB-C mic plugged in directly as a recording device? Because that would make your phone a pretty slick mobile recorder paired with something like a Shure MV7.

Any friends running Audio Hijack, Loopback, Farrago, or other awesome Rogue Amoeba software - check their status page for updates for macOS 14 (Sonoma) which is coming out next week I believe.

I don’t know what they are because I only hear the words “web components” on podcasts I edit, but the newly launched Luro “…is a no-code solution to track component usage, adoption, and success across your entire product.”

Plus it looks great. 💯

Just one time I want to hear: “This is by far our second best iPhone lineup yet - second only to the iPhone lineup we had in 2019. That was such a great year.”

Couldn’t sleep this morning so I did what you do when you can’t sleep: read Anne Helen Petersen’s article on RushTok and Greek Life at the University of Alabama.

One thing I’m not loving in the iOS 17 beta is how if there’s anything AirPlay nearby, you don’t get to see the time anymore.

When you’ve got a million dollar budget, but nobody’s able to make sure “click this banner” actually has a clickable URL. whomp whomp

I appreciate that The Chicks have updated their stage show with Trump and friends’ mug shots. Got a large round of applause even here, north of the border.

I’d rather be alone in a new place where I’m supposed to be alone, than alone in a place where people know me.

Crew cab. Super cab. Club cab. Extended cab. Supercrew cab. 3.5L. 5L. V8. V6.

Why can’t truck shopping be simple like buying a Mac? 🤔 😆 M1 or M2. Laptop or desktop. Done.

If you’re vehicle shopping, don’t test drive a vehicle with CarPlay unless you plan to buy it. Even though it has nothing to do with how well a vehicle drives, imho every other vehicle without CarPlay feels vastly inferior.

Really looking forward to the future Strike Force Five podcast episode where they talk about toxic work environments and how to deal with claims of abuse when you’re the boss.

Or maybe they’ll just change the name to Strike Force Four to avoid talking about anything serious.

The macOS Ventura 13.5.2 update appears to have rendered my old Focusrite audio interface unable to connect to my Mac Studio. 🥲

I just noticed by chance that the logged in view vs logged out view of my account on Twitter is very different.

Just me?
