The office couple nights ago. The historic Indiana Roof Ballroom, Indianapolis. Over 100 years old, it was once one of America's most prestigious ballrooms and hosted the greatest big bands including Benny Goodman and Cab Calloway 😳 Stunning place!

Don't know who this guy is, but I would love someone else's take on what he is saying here. I can't decide if this is utterly apocalyptic, or a guy who is just up to his eyeballs in the Kool-Aid.

Apple is losing the normals. At a superb owl gathering and everyone is complaining about #ios updates changing everything, and a specific example is enabling crossfade in Music by default.

Fuck me... Topaz AI upscaling eats the battery on my M4 Pro 16" MBP faster than it can recharge. Been working for about four hours, with the computer plugged in the whole time, and I'm at half battery 🤯
