@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.

@maique Probably not terribly helpful if this was the first time, but for what it’s worth, @viditb’s Shiuli generated this from that image: “Graffiti on a weathered wall featuring two phrases: “F*** Israel” above “House da Poor,” conveying a message through urban street art. The wall has a tiled section on the left and a small, square window.”

Great Shortcuts actions too.

@jarrod Sounds like Scouting America capitulated, which disgusts me. “A Scout is brave.” Call their hand. Let the administration take the heat for all the families they’d have left behind by cutting ties. Stand up for your values. Otherwise, they’re meaningless.

@matt_birchler I’m a weirdo who prefers the pre-iPadOS 26 multitasking system. In my perfect world, it’d be macOS with a keyboard, and split-view system when not. But there are so many Mac apps that don’t have an iOS version and vice-versa. I’m not sure how they’d work that out with mode switching.

@matt_birchler I don’t think you’re completely off. iPad that could run macOS would be so great. But I’d want the option to go back into touch-optimized mode too when without a keyboard and I don’t know how they’d square that between iOS and macOS apps.

@quiddle I’ve mostly gone audiobook since my first read-thru. Podehl is indeed awesome! (Not quite as good as Jim Dale, but no one is.) But I love love love that Rothfuss himself reads Slow Regard.

@manton 🙏

@quiddle He really catches you right from the start. I haven’t given up on Book 3, but I’ve accepted that it may not happen and it’s still masterful work nonetheless. You’ve read Slow Regard before? And The Narrow Road Between Desires?

@jarrod (You’ll want to have read The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear first, and you absolutely should. They’re excellent.)

@andrewmelder Indeed. “They may still make our favorite products to use for our computing needs, but we don’t see them the same anymore.”

@manton Used the ‘Embed’ button, but didn’t get the nice Quoteback view in the Timelime?
