@jonathanreed Very excited for S2, and great opener. 😁

P.S. is there a “right” one here?

Screenshot of a podcast app displaying the show “First, Last, Everything” by Jonathan Reed. The cover art features stacked retro electronics with the title above. The app shows the user is following the podcast. Below are two episodes featuring Becca Farsace, a YouTube creator. Episode descriptions highlight her as an Emmy and Webby award-winning tech creator, formerly with The Verge. Episode details include season 2, episode 1, with timestamps. Navigation buttons are at the bottom.

@gregmorris That super sucks. But the training is still with you!

@imthaz It’s Apple Podcasts! I actually use Overcast for all my listening, but the captions in Apple Podcasts are easy to search/line up and capture with screen recording.

@jarrod cc: @stephenrobles, the charger guru himself. 🙏

@birming Thanks!

@jarrod Also, I’ve got to say, I love the old-school notch-less look of the Neo’s display. I’d go back to a larger bezel to be rid of the notch on MacBooks, personally. Maybe the rumored Dynamic Island would be better, but notch-less is just so clean. 👌

@jarrod A few examples…

“I Think I Like You” by The Band CAMINO: https://song.link/us/i/1572521492

(Bangers, btw.)

@BasicAppleGuy My kitchen one was doing that overnight… and then we realized it was a mouse walking over the top and activating it. 🐭

@johnvoorhees 👌 Nice. My original is still rolling, as is the eBay one I got a couple years ago. Stereo paired to my Apple TV and have been supplying all our TV audio for years!

@tylerknowsnothing Yes, totally agree. Just thought it was an interesting observation. Neo’s not technically the first one. 😜

@jarrod And then I’m also reminded of the A12Z Developer Kit Mac mini that featured two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, and one HDMI port. Anything other ones before 2020?

@stephenrobles Oooh clever

@pratik Right?

I played today’s Parseword puzzle and it’s an intriguing game. Makes my brain work in fun ways.

I also played Wordle for the first time in years. Pretty good comeback score!

@numericcitizen Would be cool if the recommendations on your blog could sync with Inkwell, or at least serve as the starting point for feeds. cc: @manton

@sarajw 🙋‍♂️ Me! I like the in-app browser most of the time to keep things in context. I’ll get distracted if it switches apps on me. But I do appreciate the one-tap ability to open it in the main browser if needed.

@charliemchapman Neat!

@BasicAppleGuy What’s Neo screenshot from? Was there a presentation?

@jonathanreed haha, the first thing I did when I saw the announcement was head to the Dictionary as well. I don’t love the name, but I can get with it.

@_Davidsmith One day, perhaps, we’ll see a return of the 12-inch MacBook. God, I loved that computer. I think the point of the Neo is that it’s inexpensive — the 12-inch wasn’t that. It gives me some hope that a mid-tier performance packed into an improbably small chassis could still be in the pipeline somewhere.

@matt_birchler That was my first thought too. Captivating to watch!

@rscottjones Undoubtedly!

@rscottjones that sure sounds fun! 🙃

@manton That would be really cool!

@maique @richallum I’m still subscribed, but find myself skipping more articles these days. I appreciate them wanting to stay in top of the latest in tech, but most of their AI experiments are beyond my interest or ability. The time and technical expertise required is significant.
