@gruber Getting ads in the Sports app now. Still paying off the debt of selling their soul to the F1 devil, I guess.
@caseyliss This speaks to my soul. Thank you. 🙏🏼
@gruber I also like to manually update my apps and check release notes. Today is a day it pays off, because the latest Mint Mobile update is a banger.
@_Davidsmith For the life of me, I can’t find the travel mug you recommend. I feel like it was somehow connected to WWDC travel, but all of my searches come up empty. Please help a weary traveler. 🙏🏼
@viticci Please bear with me for 6 or 7 seconds…
@rebound Not a lot of people playing along here…
@upgrade I haven’t stopped listening to Upgrade, and I haven’t even skipped a segment, but I would not be upset if there was never another Lawyer Up (in spite of the amazing artwork). The whole story is exhausting at this point. I can’t imagine how bad it must be to actually cover it like you’ve been doing.
@caseyliss So is this what everyone means when they talk about size classes? 😏

Seattle Times has a new report on how Boeing's current challenges can be traced to prioritizing shareholders over everything for 25 years, slashing costs and outsourcing key work, weakening unions, and pressuring suppliers, leading to loss of its core competency.

This is a great example of how the stock market rewards short term thinking leading to companies sabotaging themselves. Intel is in the same boat.

When ‘ruthless’ Boeing cut costs, the damage spread

Boeing’s leaders are tepidly admitting the shareholders-first, workers-be-damned strategy was flawed. It’s an admission a generation in coming.

Here's my pitch

You know how some websites have a little progress bar highlight across the top of the page to show how much of the page you've read?

Imagine a similar tool that shows you how much of the page is in view and how much remains, but persistently visible on every window on your computer, along the right side, integrated into a user interface tool that's wide enough that you can click on it, and not a moving target that disappears sometimes

I call it the "scroll bar"
