If you want to understand American optimism…
We celebrate the date that we declared independence, not the date that we achieved it.
Here’s a hard fact to accept for many…
Unless you are top .001% at speaking, you should ever try to talk more than 5-8 min straight in public.
People can train you to top 1% in weeks… the rest is flight hours and self examination.
Many event producers need to hear this.
For Tesla Owners...
Go to toy box. Select Christmas (or Santa?)
Once opened, press the microphone and say “Ho Ho Ho not funny”
It actual IS funny. :)
After the Steelers game last night and the Rams game tonight… I’m not sure I understand what Pass Interference is in the NFL.
Companies, like Apple, were already going that direction. They most likely delayed the ratification to align with their existing schedules.
Now we are limited to the connector for the foreseeable future because of the legislation.
It’s really important for law makers to understand their mental limitations.
It’s also important for us not to encourage them to be stupid.
Fun fact for theater geeks…
Due to the number of different screens, projectors and sound systems… combined with James Cameron’s obsessive focus on quality…

AI folks see local AI.
Video/CG folks see… render nodes.
When @Apple wakes up to decentralised local AI, it will be the most undervalued big tech.

🚨 BREAKING: Google Research just dropped the textbook killer.
Its called "Learn Your Way" and it uses LearnLM to transform any PDF into 5 personalized learning formats. Students using it scored 78% vs 67% on retention tests.
The education revolution is here.
We're FINALLY releasing my Telestrator app...

It's Mac and iPad (one purchase, 2 native apps)
For DJI Drone operators wondering how we got to this.

This is all their fault. They did this. We should not forget.
Real question… what data are people transferring to a new iPhone that isn’t already in the cloud?
So I bought a $2,000 iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB and it's the buggiest Apple experience I've ever had
First the data transfer failed after 5
minutes, then it had to reset itself, and I had to do everything again
Then after resetting it just would NOT detect the old phone to transfer data from
Then when it did work after trying for ages, it took 6 hours to transfer but kept saying "4 minutes left" (???)
Then when it was done I couldn't go on hotel WiFi because to open the captive WiFi portal to enter the password for the hotel WiFi I needed a browser but I didn't have a browser (cause EU law)
But when I opened Safari, it'd ask me what browser I wanted (cause EU law), but then immediately fail because it didn't have internet to download the browser (catch-22) so I could never login to the hotel wifi to download my browser (???)
Ok then I connected to 5G hotspot of other phone, worked
Then when I got it working none of my apps would download, just all apps say "Waiting..."
Then I went to the App Store to at least install Telegram to chat with my friend, but tapping the download button would then show the rotating loading spinner and then reset to the download button repeatedly
So I gave up and now use my old iPhone
I don't think anyone at Apple actually goes through this process anymore or they just don't give a shit how absolutely user hostile the Apple experience has become
Tim Cook should be ashamed
Great discussion about frame rate.
Many of us have known that 24 fps is not enough for stereoscopic for a long time.
48 is “ok”
I consider 60 minimum. 120 is the middle ground depending on movement.
Unpopular opinion…
WhatsApp/Slack/Teams chats are NOT a good replacement for a Directly Responsible Individual charged with execution.
Something that runs under the radar with iOS is the lock screen. Mine is set to find a family member (which changes every few minutes).
Look at the original photo (my wife).
iOS extended the background, blurred the background, and reframed for the clock.
Surprise and delight.
Apple Intelligence is great but I would be happy with my AirPods just staying connected to my iPhone.
Historically, once the replacement rate drops below 1.6, immigration is the only solution.
Countries can decide how, who and when... but that's the only solution at this point. The longer we wait, the harder the solution will be.
If we stopped resisting reality and started building a plan, it would go smoother. But we won't.
