sam henri goldDid you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

The Purpose of the App Store
According to JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee, citing Sensor Tower, Apple's App Store revenue for May 2025, increased by 4.9% month-over-month (which compares to an average sequential increase of 2.3%) and an acceleration of year-over-year revenue to 13.0% in May versus up 11.8% in April. On a year-over-year basis, the App Store downloads increased by 3.1% in May (versus +5.8% in April) according to Chatterjee.

@counternotions @gruber @Gte @jason @bobrk @gruber @counternotions @Gte @jason I tried this yesterday. Asked a somewhat sensitive question about India first, then China. As expected it answered the India question and declined to answer about China. But, all it took was a gentle nudge to get it to answer. No such luck with Tiananmen Square or Winnie the Pooh.

Dave Mark"Hopefulness is not a neutral position — it is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like says the world and its inhabitants have value, and are worth defending. It says the world is worth believing in."
