The iPad is now more like a Mac and the Mac is more like an iPhone.

There is only one browser better than Chrome and that’s Safari.

I imagine wearing the AirPods Pro 3 with Live Translation behind an Imam in prayer and understand the Quran recited in Arabic in my local language. The scholars of our times may deliberate upon this from a Fiqh perspective but this is truly revolutionary.

I heard Apple is making Chromebooks with no ChromeOS.

The best thing DeepSeek has done is that it has laid bare the scam of Sam Altman as some 21st century messiah.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in my opinion is one of the dopest tech ever invented. Can’t imagine a day without ANC with huge noise and distractions everywhere.

Bluesky for now is just filled with left wing content. It won’t be great until there is left wing and right wing content on the platform and then the two clash.

Now that they created a new obfuscation with the power button on the new Mac Mini, they can forgo an old one.

Silicon Valley is like: "How about we make search engines useless and replace them with a cutely named robot who makes stuff up? And also creates more pollution to accelerate global warming?"

"What do you think? Never mind, we've already done this for you."

Search engines post-ChatGPT: How generative artificial intelligence could make search less reliable

Assad was no anti-imperialist fighter.

He's a mass murdering gangster who deserved to have been toppled by the 2011 protests he brutally attacked.

Concerns about happens next are legitimate - in that context.

Assad's fall is a victory in the struggle for human liberation
Assad was no anti-imperialist fighter, but a mass murdering gangster who collaborated with Western power when it suited him.

No one wants to talk to a chatbot. Using a search engine is a more intelligent way to find quality info.

The price of a single Bitcoin rose to more than $100,000 for the first time on Wednesday, a milestone for a digital coin that was once mocked as a sideshow. The virtual currency now stands as arguably the most successful investment product of the last 20 years. Read more: nyti.ms/3BdDkIh

I don’t think Bluesky is being marketed well enough. A lot of people frustrated with Twitter don’t know about the alternative.

I've never used Apple Intelligence on my Mac once. It just takes up a lot of space on my already constrained Mac and isn't really that groundbreaking. I like writing my own stuff, emails etc. and so should everyone.

I’ve been using ChromeOS Flex for more than a year now and I am really loving the simplicity and functionality of it. If you’re not an advanced user, I don’t understand the need for a heavily bloated Windows machine in 2024.

Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.

I'm reading that Mark Zuckerberg is genuinely spooked by the rapid growth of Bluesky. Sounds pretty good.
