Chillin' with Tim Cook :)

It pays 16 craploads of money per year.

You can always selfhost

Not an option. Client is non-technical, a one person company

Managed on-prem perhaps? Setup a server at their office.

this is a remote company, and the person operates from their apartment, so that's not an option!

... in the UAE, so only less risky if your office is remote enough it doesn't also make a nice target (like, say, located within/near Dubai's Internet City).

They're not firing nukes yet. Missiles don't blow up a whole building, let alone a city.

and you don't upset whichever prince decides to compete

Do we have proper dictation?

Rapid AirDrop... I prefer stable and always working AirDrop first

Raycast2 has its own index and it's way more reliable and fast. I don't understand how Apple does not care about many of the core services of their OS. Searching in Mail is a coinflip

And Google also removed jxl support in Chrome in '22 (only to put it back in recently)

It was only ever supported behind a flag. Stuff behind a flag isn't 'supported', it's experimental. The experiment ended.

byte-for-byte identical file actually. Not just imagery. You can basically save 30% without loosing ANY bit of the original file

Up to 50%

Wayyy too wide. it's wider than the 17Pro. So impossible to operate. It will sell out because it's new. But it will flop. More than the mini and the Air.

They should've used the iPhone mini width, and adjust height to that.

Super skip..


100% agree. The market for this will be miniscule. Look at how small the market for the iPad mini is. This will be even worse because it's 3x the price and has to be carried as a main device. How many people are wearing pants that can even physically fit this? This device is almost certainly too big to be comfortable in your front pocket. And if you are wearing something like athletic pants it's going to be so heavy it will pull your pants down... It's just impractical.

I actually disagree, I think this will be a massive hit.

I've long thought that the aspect ratio of a normal phone just feels old fashioned now and sucks for most tasks. So many times I go to do something on my phone and reach for my laptop instead because I know it'll be easier. But with this I could do most things on it.


10% wider than a pro max. I can't imagine that's going to feel good in your pocket

Very cool, but yes, the form factor, which is the most crucial point, seems off.
