Being Wrong While Being Right

I really like Rivian, and RJ Scaringe seems like a good dude, but his comments nearly gave me an aneurism.

Liss is More

YES!

"You may point to the tech and gadget blogs and YouTube channels, which, yes, excitedly covered Made by Google just like they excitedly cover everything, that day, before quickly moving on to the next shiny bauble like cats distracted by a laser beam on the wall."

Pixel Matters (Premium)

The Pixel 10 Pro XL is one of the least enticing upgrades I’ve experienced in recent years. But I ordered one anyway. Why?

This is the bullshit that is causing me to move to different tech that I can make my own (Thinkpad and Pixel). Linux and GrapheneOS are now my setup. Fuck Fascists.

Trump Has Dropped a Third of All Government Investigations Into Big Tech

Tech companies spent $1.2 billion on political influence since 2024. It’s paid off.

Use a Mac or Windows or whatever platform you prefer. Just don’t try and justify the decision by making the iPad out to be behind and not useful. It isn’t the switching, it’s the poor approach in having to shit on one platform to protect your “identity”.

So are all the Tech Podcasts and the Apple pundits who have shit on the iPad for the last 3 years all coming back to iPad now?? Is it macOS enough for you now??!! 🤣
I’m glad I didn’t “abandon” iPadOS like some. Not only is iPadOS 18 perfect for my needs, the new features in iPadOS 26 is just that much better. Suck it iPad haters!!
So how long before Chris and Federico are back to iPad Only again? 😂😂😂
Bought a cheap diver watch to see if it is something I want to expore more. Other than it being pretty big, I like it so far.
I wish this was an available watch face:
First ever TikTok Shop purchase fail. This keyboard is not great even for emergency situations because of the layout. And the trackpad is complete trash.
