UTILITY PRICES: I can add solar energy to my life via balcony kit, solar generator, etc, a path to reducing my dependence on the grid. WATER PRICE: I don't see a path. Build my own water purification system? Certainly not as mature a market as solar. #Energy #Water #Environment

I mean, there is the tiny snag that Artcraft is bollocks and barely works. Perhaps that will change. Right now, it’s a skin-deep interface knock-off city, with questionable value. Affinity, mind, is the real deal.

ADOBE: Spends millions, builds suite of tools that became very expensive industry standards. CANVA: Buys Affinity's tool suite, drops to FREE, charges for AI tools. ARTCRAFT: Reverse engineers Adobe's tools, INCLUDING AI, releases as open source. AI eating capitalism? #AI #Photoshop #Adobe

If you are considering running Muse on your Mac, ask your LLM (e.g., Gemini) a version of this question: "f I run muse wide open on a mac with access to my wifi, will muse be able to access other machines on my network?" Worth understanding what doors you'll be opening. #ai

I love Lego. But I don’t love accumulating all of this plastic in my house. I wish someone would make compostable Lego. Is that a thing? #environment #lego #toys

Watch YouTube? Have a keyboard? Use the J, K, and L keys to skip 10 seconds (instead of the 5 seconds you get from arrow keys). - J goes back - K to stop/start - L skips ahead #YouTube

Came across the question: If you use "Describe a Shortcut" to have Siri AI create a shortcut for you, can you edit that shortcut? Yes! You can edit the shortcut by describing the changes you want to make or by editing the shortcut yourself. The shortcut lives in the Shortcuts app. #Apple

If you have iOS 27 beta access, go to control center and tap the timer widget to set a timer. Complete reroll of the interface. Beautifully done. Works an iPadOS too… #Apple #iOS27

For me, 2 big questions for WWDC: Will there be enough actual, proper working Siri/AI features to keep people from migrating to other platforms? And will there be enough AI privacy gains to pull people from other platforms? #Apple #WWDC #AI

31 days until Apple announces the new Siri, takes another shot at Apple Intelligence. Will Apple be clear about how much they rely on Google and Anthropic. Is it possible that Apple will present the new AI as Apple all the way down? Pretend it isn't Gemin/Claude behind the curtain? #Apple #WWDC

Went to the Apple Store yesterday to get some hands on time with the MacBook Neo. Great machine. 🔥 One thing I did notice was the Neo's thickness. It weighs about the same as the 13" MacBook Air, but it is noticeably chunkier. Small price to pay. Literally. #Apple
