It really sucks that people who have “recorded” shows on their “DVR” have lost access to those “recordings”. It’s just another reminder that these services just aren’t as good as ones that actually put a recording on a device you own, like a TiVo.
Yet another reason to not trust GM with their commitment to do anything other than attempt to extract subscription dollars from people who buy their vehicles. They don’t care about their owners’ experience, they just want the money.
It’s definitely in my head.
I’m using Claude Code on the Web, and it’s pretty neat so far. The option of having a few different sessions all working in parallel in the cloud, and being able to check in on their progress from mobile, is a nifty one. It’s worth checking out with the free credit until Nov. 18.
This is a good overview of the state of things, as well as a warning of what’s to come if consumers don’t push back on automakers.
The detail on how companies are structuring the debt they’re taking on to build data centers is interesting, and scary. The financial engineering around the AI boom is all too reminiscent of other boom/bust cycles, so I guess we just have to hope to dodge the bust this time.
At the bottom, in the section called “Apple’s Values”, Snell contrasts this year’s statement on how Apple expresses its values through action and their statement on that subject this time last year. It’s worth the quick read.
I’m particularly happy about the profile picker: my family never changes it, and pollutes my Up Next, Recently Played, etc. I’m hoping that other apps will be able to map these profiles to theirs and make it so I don’t have to pick a profile in every single app.
The whole thing is good, but this point about rental cars is an important one: I won’t take a GM rental car that can’t use CarPlay.
Looks interesting. Yet another thing to put on the list to check out.
One interesting part of this review about the foveated rendering on Vision Pro reminds me of how the original iPhone rendered a grid for the parts of the screen that it couldn’t render real detail for to keep that smooth flowing sensation, and it caught up when it could.
