@marcoarment Much better! But right aligned with settings in bottom left would let the task list reach the top a little more naturally. 🙂

@viditb Heads up, I think there’s an extra space here in Shiuli’s disclaimer.

A mobile screen displays a prompt to Pick an Image with a fan-like icon above the text and a red arrow pointing to a disclaimer about server-based image description models.

@jifarris I think so!

@daringfireball It’s probably worth mentioning that while the IUP “included” AppleCare+, it wasn’t for free. It was just baked into the monthly cost of the program. If you did the math on the 24 monthly payments, it equaled out to the retail cost of the phone + two years of AppleCare. Within a few cents.

@daringfireball IUP required a big 3 carrier too, which was also a bummer. At least Verizon’s new Simplicity plan approached MVNO pricing.

@matt_birchler “Quickubs” typo in the title, btw. 🙂

@manton very nice!

@agiletortoise Create new actions!

@matt_birchler Nice feature update! Heads up, couple of small typos.

A smartphone screenshot displaying text from a website, birchtree.me, with a focus on RSS feeds. Mentioned authors include John Siracusa and Casey Liss, highlighting their irregular publication as suitable for the feeds feature. Text discusses the convenience of following these writers and using newsletters. The phrase “MacStory Select” is highlighted, and there are icons for closing, sharing, and options at the bottom of the screen. An emoji with a winking face is present near the end.

@lexfri Thank you! 😊

@flohgro Great app; thank you! 🙂 I used this one: PFEPHMT4REMY

@simonbs There was a cool concept that @parkerortolani made with a Siri app with a handful of different personalities for each chat thread that I really liked. Similar idea.

@news A good idea, but 5 days seems a little short notice for the rare person who wants to keep it. Dunno if you’re looking for suggestions, but personally I’d do a 10-day and 3-day notice at minimum.

@siracusa Thank you! This TV would primarily be for TV/movies. Our current LG C9 would become the gaming TV. I’m mostly looking for bigger size, better contrast, and a bit brighter than the C9. Though I haven’t really played with the C9’s brightness settings, so that may not even be a real factor. Both Amazon and Sony have a good deal on the 77” A95L right now, but the Bravia 8 II still beats it on price.

@siracusa P.S. I tried doing a bunch of searches to see if you made recommendations lately. I think I remember a back-and-forth with @stephenrobles not too long ago. Maybe worth a page on your site to house your latest picks in categories that you often get asked recommendations for? 🙂

@siracusa Is the Sony A95L still your overall pick for TVs today? How’d the Bravia 8 ii and LG G5 stack up in the end?

@stephenrobles Sounds like a great Keynote tool!

@numericcitizen Ah, thank you! That did the trick.

@hotdogsladies I was sure which show before I even clicked the link. Perfection.

@numericcitizen Same here on an M1 Mac Mini. Also tried Safe Boot.

@matt_birchler Same goal, but I’m about 90 miles behind. 😬 About to go out and claw back some mileage.

@bbech Lolz, yeah probably.

@jarrod Icons for menu bar items are off by default in macOS 27. I didn’t mind them, but I’m happy for @gruber and @siracusa.

@jarrod Dunno about this new app grid on watchOS. I guess I do use the same handful of apps the most. Still, this UI looks a little childish to me.

@jarrod Some more Mac-like stuff coming to iPad. Always-shown menu bar, apps names in status bars, sidebar improvements…
