What’s next for Jensen Huang?

It warms the cockles of my heart to know that a young pissed-off Latina is going to be Elon Musk’s biggest problem that he can’t solve with money.

Pour one out for Quartz Composer.

Only two of the things on that lefthand list are things developers are familiar with:

Frankly, the hinge and display of the iPhone Duo are the least interesting thing about the device.

The new ambient modes are going to open up a whole new class of capabilities and apps. That's what will drive adoption.

Ironically, it's indie developers who are in the best position to experiment with these new capabilities, and who are also least able to afford a $3,000 device.

Imagine how much this software would cost now.

If I could go back in time to change the course of history, the conversation starting with “hey, let’s add a user agent to the HTTP header” would be at the top of the list.

One final note: you don’t have to use these devices for your Wi-Fi network: I have a full Ubiquiti setup and only use the AirPort Extremes in bridge mode.

They are just wireless DACs.

I’d never leave a HomePod outside on our deck.

But an A1392 with a cheap Class D amp in a waterproof box is an excellent setup for about $100.

And for those of you who are wondering what the heck I’m talking about: an A1392 costs about $40 on eBay and allows you to use a nice amplifier and speakers with AirPlay 2.

To the person at Apple who’s keeping this alive: Thank You!

I'm willing to bet that this is the first time any of these workers has had an audience while erecting scaffolding.

I know what I’m going to be watching all day:

All I want are buttons that don’t light up when you touch them, and then don’t work.

So tired of the false feedback.

I wrote this 13 years ago and it’s still relevant.

This is why you don’t send an AMBER alert using a bit.ly link to a post on Xitter.

Also: the right-wing shitheads that are still over there probably don’t care about a kid with brown skin being abducted.

At the 8 PM deadline tonight:

If a young person asks me how tall I am, I now have to respond “five nineteen”.
