@siracusa Was that a Silo reference?

@daringfireball I wonder if it will go full circle and end up being both easy and powerful, in the end? But currently we are in the phase where it possible but complicated.
I think creating software has gone full circle now. For many years you needed to understand complicated programming to make software, learning for years to master it (or hire people), but now you can literally talk to AI and produce the app of your dreams without touching, or understanding, code.
@atpfm Regarding swollen batteries i Apple laptops; I think it is way more common than Siracusa suggests, or at least if used for more than a couple of years.
Most of my Mac laptops have ended up with swollen batteries, same for others around me. Like my moms and my sisters MacBook Airs. I had to order third party batteries and replace them. Getting the glued batteries out of my MacBook Pro took hours!
@atpfm Regarding what Marco said about browsers and web standards; it's not all BS.
Safari has almost become the IE8 for web developers these days. @daringfireball recently wrote about text-wrap: pretty like it was something new because Safari added it in a preview, while web developers has been using it in production for years because Chrome supports it. It's not a BS standard, it's not because web developers are lazy, it's an actual useful addition and Safari is lagging behind.
@atpfm When Marco talks about why people love undo seek in Overcast it seems like he doesn't know why it's popular. I bet it has nothing to do with accidentally sliding the seek and everything to do with iOS continuing to play after you remove your AirPods or hitting the lock screen play button (which AFAIK is not possible to remove from lock screen) on the way to put the phone in your pocket. So hours later you realize you're 3 more episodes done and it's a hassle to rewind it (before undo).
@daringfireball Unfortunately I get an Apple ad every time I watch an episode on ATV+ because Apple thinks it's a good thing to throw a trailer for some unrelated content (with potential spoilers!) in your face when you just want to watch Severance.
@atpfm "I'm so glad I didn't know this going in" says @caseyliss about @siracusa saying that Kiki was on his four favs on Letterboxd. Well, in that case I would recommend Casey the ATP Movie Club episode about Totoro where John is ending the show with the exact same thing about his top four movies on Letterboxd… 😁
@daringfireball Coming from the perspective of around two weeks of battery life on the Garmin FR 965 I can certainly understand the joy of getting longer battery life on the Ultra.
I'm not trying to be smug (nor do I claim that the Garmin is an AWU competitor outside of sports use), it just that it's such a joy never to have to think about battery life _at all_. Many AW might think the wouldn't appreciate weeks of battery life, but I'm sure they would if Apple one day deliver it.
@daringfireball In the section about USB-C and Lightning there's no mentioning of wireless charging.
I think waiting for wireless charging to grow meant that the transition to USB-C became smoother. Probably not the main reason for sticking with Lightning but I do think it helped Apple.
(And I think even ordinary users welcome USB-C like tech people, for all the same reasons. The versatility (like two-way-charging) and single connector for everything will make fears of outcry a non-issue.)
@siracusa Oh, well, I see. I just finished my second viewing and that phrase still echoed in my mind and I thought it maybe was their "so say we all" thing, not being an native English speaker 😄
