Like to write code? Like music? I made this playlist a while back and it's become rather popular. Hope you all like it also: open.spotify.com/playlist/2G…

Hear me out… CarPlay but for cardio equipment (home or gym). @Apple can call it GymPlay, use the equipment data to power their Fitness+ experience similar to Peloton.

The level of talent and drive in 🇺🇸 engineering is astounding.
Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to catching the Super Heavy booster. Thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt.

AT&T says it is investigating a huge data breach involving personal information, including Social Security numbers, mailing addresses and birth dates, from more than 70 million current and former customers. @jolingkent reports. cbsn.ws/49d8XN2

The press release from @OpenAI regarding Sora is very impressive. We are approaching Turing test level content. Will be interesting to see how conversations around watermarking and disclosures around content shake out. Might even be a use case for NFT to verify authenticity.

Can't look at a Vision Pro and not see the poster for Ready Player One.

WTF! Why is my LG Washing Machine using 3.6GB of data/day?

Could you imagine if tech pundits had any accountability for their predictions (driverless cars, crypto, agi)? They’d unironically be the first jobs displaced.

My Christmas gift to all of you out there on @X is @WNXPnashville. Public radio featuring incredible up and coming music of all genres. Truly a gem in #Nashville and free online across the world (wnxp.org/).

How @readwise has not won the @AppStore app of the year yet is beyond me. Easily worth it's weight in gold for any reader.

Net Neutrality rules reinstated. ISPs now treated as common carriers. No more 'fast lane' to the highest bidder. All good news, especially for small companies. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

Really feel @Google @YouTube is as bad for kids health as @tiktok_us. Age limit (published) is 13 for TikTok, meanwhile @YouTube Kids not only offers a TikTok clone ("Shorts"), but gives parents zero ability to disable it. Hard to take @Google's 'legislative framework' seriously.

Starting to notice more services rolling out passkey support, even @Nintendo. To increase public trust, it would be great to see that feature rolled out at @X. More info on passkeys: developers.google.com/identi…

That iOS auto-locks the screen when recording (or listening to) a voice memo in Messages is maddening. How would that ever be the desired experience for the user? Please fix. @AppleSupport @Apple

This was fixed in the iOS17 update. Bonus: they added voice transcription to the voice messages. Thank you 🙏🏻

1995: The movie "Hackers" was released. It grossed $7 million at the box office against a budget of $20 million. Ouch. A box office failure, but today it's a cult classic. Crash Override. Rollerblades. Acid Burn. Floppies. Hack the Gibson!
