Gurman has great sources, but to be clear, this was first reported by DigiTimes (probably) in 2023 and Ming-Chi Kuo (definitely) earlier this year. This is a nice reinforcement of what we have already been pondering--that Apple could replace the M1 MacBook Air with a "new" low-cost laptop.

the truth is @djl.bsky.social is one mistake away from Phil and I destroying him

Our evening in Wellington NZ in March 2024, we were pooped out so we got pizza from a great takeaway wood-fired pizza place. Just got an email from them, apparently I got on their list when I purchased? Anyway, a nice reminder, happy 25th anniversary Pizza Pomodoro www.pizzapomodoro.co.nz

A new episode of Upgrade is out: We react to Apple's latest financial results and the promise of grand iPhone sales to come, break down some juicy rumors about new OLED Apple devices, and consider Apple's latest reported AI strategies.

My publisher wants me to sell my book to an unidentified AI company with little notice and no legal documentation whatsoever. The price: $355. The upshot of the pitch: "if you say no they'll just steal it later." I am, not surprisingly, not cool with that. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

UPGRADE YOUR WARDROBE! For the next couple of weeks, we're selling upgrade logo shirts in various colors and non-colors, our embroidered upgrade hoodie (with new options), and yes, there's a shirt inspired by @atp.fm too... cottonbureau.com/people/upgrade

Thank you to @moltz.bsky.social for the amazing 3D printed props that I used in my M5 reviews. I've spent five years waiting for the M5 chip to appear, and here we are at last. (Reference: TOS s2e24, The Ultimate Computer, an episode about AI taking people's jobs and being bad at them. 🤔)

Hey, I’m gonna start flagging my podcast appearances. Partly for self-promotion, but mostly to remind myself that I actually do stuff. I played K’ronng, a bugbear rogue, in this heist adventure. We pretend to be fashion designers.

Blew up my weekend to write this “Marc Benioff come-to-your-senses challenge.” I’ve rarely shared my opinions about politics in the Chronicle beyond some LGBTQ+ & bike/pedestrian safety things but Jesus he wants the military on S.F. streets what the hell? www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m...

It's in a better place now, living it up with iCards in Apple Heaven.

I am dealing with a “thorny problem” right now, today. It is hard and scary because IT IS ALWAYS HARD AND SCARY. But it is also where you do your best work. It is where stories go from “meh” to “WOW”. When I fix it - because that is the job - I will be that much closer to something worth reading.

TFW you find you still have your rotisserie baseball spreadsheet from 1988 (AppleWorks, Apple II)

This is why I junked mine a while ago. And it keeps getting worse. Amazon can't help itself. It's amazing Kindles don't have ad banners that display while you're reading. (Give them time.)

Google Cloud burning a lot of CPU time to discover new ways where correlation does not mean causation when it comes to baseball stats.

I enjoy the TV maps from @506sports.bsky.social because of the quirks like these: Chico/Redding is alone in the west showing Cleveland-Pittsburgh because that's where Aaron Rodgers is from. And despite everything, St. Louis is still soft on the Rams.

🍏 Apple may be prioritizing AI glasses over Vision Pro. @leolaporte.me, @ihnatko.bsky.social, @snell.zone & Alex Lindsay discuss the shift, ICEBlock app removal, and Apple’s latest hardware and ad moves. 🎧
