  • Say Hello to Darkroom 3

    This is an awesome update, and I love the new styling. I forgive them for using Medium.

  • AmpliFi

    I really want to like this, but persistent connection issues are really troubling me.

  • Wirecutter, but for Everything

    Jacqui Cheng: What differentiates Wirecutter from other review sites is the rigor of our review process, the transparency we provide to our readers about that process, and our reader-centric, useful approach to recommendations. The most important thing to us is not to only practice those values when it comes to home and tech, but to […]

  • Steve Jobs’ legacy & The iPhone X

    Om Malik: Every single event leaves me more in awe of Apple’s semiconductor group – and what they seem to achieve with each passing year. He makes a good case (which I agree with) that Apple’s core strength right now is the silicon which powers iOS. I mean the iPhones are now as “fast” as […]

  • iPhone X leaked benchmarks match MacBook speeds and destroy Android

    Napier Lopez: So yeah, Apple’s apparently built a smartphone that’s faster than a 2017 laptop, at least by GeekBench’s metrics. Not just a laptop, a MacBook Pro. Craig Mod, on Twitter: (the thing that will push professionals to iPad is that it will be the fastest machine available) Keep in mind, the iPad Pro typically […]

  • A Unique Marketing Problem for Apple

    The iPhone X has one hell of a camera system in it, I suspect, much better than Apple leads on.

  • Knife Steel Roundup v2! Best, Worst, Overpriced, Versatile etc

    A really great video round up on knife edge retention between steels. Really like the insight in this video.

    A really good large knife, but a really difficult knife to actually carry with you.

  • iPad Productivity Report — 9/11/17

    Spaces in iOS 11, websites, and woes.

  • Facebook Wins, Democracy Loses

    Siva Vaidhyanathan: The audacity of a hostile foreign power trying to influence American voters rightly troubles us. But it should trouble us more that Facebook makes such manipulation so easy, and renders political ads exempt from the basic accountability and transparency that healthy democracy demands. And profits from it. As much as I dislike Facebook, […]

  • U.S. House unanimously approves sweeping self-driving car measure

    David Sherpardson: The U.S. House on Wednesday unanimously approved a sweeping proposal to speed the deployment of self-driving cars without human controls by putting federal regulators in the driver’s seat and barring states from blocking autonomous vehicles. I honestly thought this would not happen this fast. Awesome, hopefully it moves through the Senate easily.

  • Hard Work or Easy Clicks

    Gabe Weatherhead: Podcasting provides an outline for ideas but it does not provide much introspection. Several writers that I once respected for their deep insight and critical thinking have become mediocre podcast talkers. It’s not because I think they were phonies. It’s because they traded the ease of recording for the difficulty of writing. Podcasting […]

  • Soulver Updated with Split View Support and File Management Features

    Great app, but this took a stupidly long time to be added.

  • Stop Faking Service Dogs

    This is such a problem, and it is near impossible to deal with privately, it has to be a public push. When I ran a property management firm it was one of the toughest issues for us to deal with. People are assholes.
