First road trip with the KIA EV9 a smashing success! This pulled about 400 Wh/mi (which isn't great), but that was in 103 deg F weather and traveling 85MPH up 6,000 ft of elevation. Was still pulling 200 kW from the charger at 70% which is amazing—especially given the temps!

I AM SO EXCITED!

Hey Apple: maybe skip the feel-good WWDC video about loving developers—after a judge called your 30% cut "anticompetitive," your 27% fee "malicious compliance," and found your exec "outright lied under oath," even referring the case to the US Attorney for criminal contempt.

The reality is this: Gruber has had execs on the show for long enough that it’s effectively a codified tradition and the optics alone for not showing up—ESPECIALLY IN A YEAR LIKE THIS—is insane. Piss poor, petty decision making that will only further make Apple look cowardly.

My outie found a key card to Optics & Design

guys tomorrow unfurls as sunday which if memory serves means the beginning of a new week per pope gregory xiii which would suggest tis the eve of the last full week ungraced by the presence of our dearest nintendo switch 2

The Samsung Frame TV has always been very popular (cause aesthetics), but a terrible value and generally bad TV. The new "Frame Pro" promises to fix a lot (for a massive price increase) but no reviews exist (only sponsored content). So I bought one to see if it's still junk.

congrats on the new baby is io a boy or a girl

CarPlay Ultra (terrible name) looks like garbage. Some of the worst tap targets I've seen in any car ever. Like, what is this list? Like, three 2"x2" buttons would have even been better. We do not want or need SwiftUI in the car lol This is just wretched.

The internet is an essential public utility and should be treated as such. Fiber networks should be (a) municipally owned, (b) funded by bonds and repaid by subscriber fees/dues, (c) leased to many different ISPs to ensure the lowest prices possible. It works. That is all.

We’re paywalling 12-year-old previously free articles now?

Having your new robot vacuum roll out of its own box and say hi to your family by name is so freaking cute. Nice first impression, @maticrobots.bsky.social!

hi it's us mom and dad

Don’t ask @ismh86.net whether or not something is a good deal on Facebook marketplace. I now own 17 more vintage Macs than I owned yesterday.

my first ever attempt at "merch" is dropping later this week there's only 128 of them get ready

iOS 18.4 sucks just like iOS 18.3.2 did just like 18.3.1 did just like iOS 18.3 did just like iOS 18.2.1 did just like iOS 18.2 did just like iOS 18.1.1 did just like iOS 18.1 did just like iOS 18.0.1 did just like iOS 18.0 did just like iOS 17.7 didn't.

The folks at @rivianofficial.bsky.social are letting me borrow a tri-motor R1S for the week to check out the new hands-free Rivian Autonomy Platform+ system and also have fun with 1,103 lb-ft of torque! All that is great, but I'm still just in awe by how gorgeous their new interiors are.

We got an open world Mario Kart game before we got GTA VI.

first trip in dad mode a smashing success!

Assassin's Creed Shadows launched today on the Mac App Store. $69.99 gets you a game that runs at about 23 FPS on an M4 MacBook Air with 11FPS 1% lows (aka, unplayable) using MetalFX upscaled to 900p "low" graphics preset from a ~500p render target. Yikes.

8 months ago I was 245-lbs. Frequent acid reflux and sleep apnea had me feeling like crap and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to be a good dad to my incoming newborn. Since then, I’ve lost 60 lbs., have no apnea or acid reflux, and am loving being a dad! I gotta lift more tho.

Dinner tonight: sous vide fried chicken thighs atop a champagne vinaigrette kale salad atop a sweet potato purée WE STACKIN THE FLAVOR!

And fools will attempt to suggest this isn't a superb burger. $5. I mean, come on.

I've been using an M4 iPad Pro as my primary portable computer for nearly a year so I feel like I can say—with relative authority—the following: wow, the MacBook Air screen sucks

I'm told this laptop is blue.

I still love this car so much.

If Apple took Image Playgrounds and said, 'Yep, ship it,' just imagine the horrors lurking in the delayed Siri they won't let us see yet…

The iPhone Air will be thinner than the iPhone Pro, but the iPad Pro is thinner than the iPad Air. The MacBook Air is currently the thinnest Mac, but not the thinnest ever—that title goes to the MacBook (not Air). As for AirTag and AirPods—well, air just means wireless—not thin.

Bad price aside, the iPhone 16e is one of the more beautiful iPhones to have ever existed.

Here's what's nuts: while my heart wants a M4 13" MacBook Air because I still have the M2 15" Air and don't like the larger size, my laptop is tucked away in a drawer with a dead battery because I basically only use my iPad Pro. Me, the Mac guy, almost exclusively uses an iPad.

Exhausted, but so very happy.

apple for real used to announce a new iphone on stage and then would be like "ok bloggers, now you gotta sit through a 30 minute elvis costello concert"

If you want to experience every "budget" iPhone ever released being unboxed simultaneously for the very first time—sub 2 Snazzy Labs. :)
