@caseyliss Im listening to the F1 segment on the latest ATP and I agree this year is a great time to pay attention.

I’ve thought I might like F1 but I didn’t want to pay for the service. Having access through Apple is great, I’ve already watched a couple of things. I was really surprised about Drive to Survive too, but that served as a fantastic introduction too.

If you don’t mind: which team/driver do you like? I’m mostly still just trying to get used to everybody.

@atpfm Its too bad it was in overtime because “Methadone YouTube” would have been a fantastic title.

@siracusa @atpfm Re: context collapse.

Maybe the people weren’t saying you had the Neo price wrong. They thought you meant MacBook Pro. The $1700 lines up.

They don’t know the Mac Pro _even exists_.

Wow! I got 10th in the world at #OllieSoars in #OlliesArcade!

@atpfm #AskATP Does the MacBook Neo now mean Apple will likely never allow the iPhone to plug into a monitor an be used like a computer the way you can with an iPad or Samsung Dex?

Not that we had seen movement in that direction.

@atpfm Ive mostly gotten over the habit of unconsciously hitting ⌘-S constantly, but I still catch myself from time to time.

When I was in middle or high school (Marco/Casey age range) the “hilarious prank” that was popular was to reach over and press the reset button on the case of whoever was sitting next to you.

You quickly learned to save constantly, or you could never get anything done.

Has anyone else noticed iPhone dictation plunging in accuracy recently?

It’s getting downright *bad*.

@lwn Suggestion for something that could make a fun article and help explain how schedulers work:

Lucas Zampieri has written a simple scheduler based around astrology:

Mars in retrograde? That’s a 50% penalty to CPU intensive tasks.

Why do so many YouTubers think slapping the lens at the beginning or end of a scene is a good idea?

Does some mega-popular YTer do that?
