I use it daily and also implemented it for a customer for a very specific use case. The Claude subscription change made it less desirable to use but I still enjoy it.

I had a similar view, then I realized I was not the target user. My kids love playing Minecraft on the iPad. Great little device for entertainment.

Giving non-technical people agents with custom skills, quickly (like literally in under an hour). We've done a couple similar deployments but with some hard guardrails and it's been a hit.

Outside of college students, I think this also unlocks the Mac to rest of the world. Now $599 allows most of the world to buy/lock into the Apple ecosystem. 8 GB is the only issue I have but everything else is such a good compromise for the price.

I love the design of this. All the small touches like the front door open.

Same goes for Docusign - many competitors exist but the reason Docusign is still popular is because they own the verb and "trust" of the general population.

This one strikes straight to the heart. We pivoted post YC batch to what was hot at the time and saw a lot of competition (some raising millions more than us). We thought this market validation. Five years later, almost every single company on that list has either died or pivoted.

Similar experience. Went through a phase of drinking once or twice a week. Started GLP-1, completely dropped the drinking habit to the point where there is zero desire of drinking.

Now, I wish it could do this for late night sugary snacks as well since that's my crux.

I know that the Model S platform is old but for me it was always seen as a halo car. I've owned three of them and I really wished they would release a completely redesigned S version.

General question but how do you charge it while it's on the fridge?

I still rewatch this video once or twice a year. I think it's a classic in my opinion.

Yes. Been a life long Apple fan, this is the first OS update I am unwilling to upgrade to. iPhone is one thing, but ruining my desktop experience is extremely annoying. I'm dreading the day I need to upgrade to an M5 Pro MBP later this year.

I wonder if it's because there's a hidden agenda of introducing a touch friendly interface where pixel perfection doesn't matter. Maybe the rumors are true about a touchscreen MacBook.

By chance are you using any Logitech stuff? I have a similar issue and narrowed it down to one of the Logi Options taking focus away randomly.

Who is responsible at the end of the day for these renames? Marketing or someone higher?

I worked at a couple of companies that tried to do internal LOB apps. Every single time, these projects have failed because the cost to maintain usually is more than just paying a subscription fee to a third party.

I had a similar experience with GCP / Google Workspace. It's just bad experience.
