Marques Brownlee's ‘Panels’ Backlash, Explained
  • sheridan sheridan Now 16%

    It's so cheap that I haven't given it much critical thought. For me I suppose it's mainly convenience. The iOS version has some shortcuts and widgets I find convenient for discovering new wallpapers. The Mac version is a little menubar app. I change my wallpapers frequently and I don't necessarily want to open a website everytime to do that.

    I've been using Clarity on iOS and macOS for wallpapers. Costs $5 a year. Wallpapers are high quality. My only complaint is the macOS version has less selection and features compared to the iOS version.

  • Trump supporter whose police report fueled cat-eating rumor found pet in basement days later: WSJ
  • sheridan sheridan Now 100%

    Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.

    Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.

    The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄

  • The UK section of my local supermarket is taking the piss

    Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn't taste like cheese and it wasn't tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

    Canned anything with cheese tastes revolting from my experience.

    Maybe. I've only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one's privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

    Has XLOOKUP made its way into the non-subscription version? I've found it a lot easier and flexible to use than VLOOKUP.

    Well, if Alexa did call the police and they showed up, there's a chance the police might just shoot you instead of the burglar in your own home anyway.

    How is he comparable to Neil? I've been listening to Michael Moore's podcast off and on since 2020 and he's only come across as humble and empathetic to me which is not how I'd characterize Neil.

  • iOS 18 (and AI) will give Siri much more control over your apps
  • sheridan sheridan Now 100%

    I use it on a Homepod Mini to toggle different lights and a fan. In my previous apartment I used it to control a window AC. Sometimes I tell it to pause my AppleTV if I can't find the remote quick enough. I use it with FindMy when I lose my keys or bag or whatever else (I have a lot of AirTags). Other than controlling devices I mostly use it for weather reports and timers.

  • What is it about the text messages and emails sent by older people that make me feel like I'm having a stroke?

    From my experience, touch typing and using all fingers (home row technique I think it's called) is less common among boomers, especially men. Even in professional settings I've seen men peck at their keyboards with just their pointer fingers. The slowness of this technique might explain the use of abbreviations at the desktop?

    fun fact: the length to width ratio of ISO 216, √2:1, is the same ratio as the tritone in an equal tempered 12-tone musical scale. If you fold A4 paper in half, you get a piece of paper with the same length to width ratio as before; analogously, if you invert a tritone, you get another tritone.

  • Is it possible to create a shortcut that could have 2 or more apps open side by side together in stage manager? E.g., have Ivory, Discord, and Messages open together and specify that Discord takes the right half of the screen and Ivory and Messages split the left half.

    When one says something like “most scholars think x” or “the theory of y has not convinced many experts”, how is that actually determined? Are there polls conducted regarding different theories?
