This is astonishingly good. It's a long one, but it connects a number of ideas and presents them more clearly than I've seen elsewhere. It's a primarily economic rationale for why renewables make sense now, followed by an impassioned plea for a return to sanity. Really excellent work.

It would be amazing if Apple could hire even one designer back from wherever they've gone. #liquidglass #macostahoe

Liquid Glass works best on iOS, but even there it feels half-baked. Here's one thing I keep encountering (shown in the Simulator app using aniPhone 17 Pro on iOS 26.2).

Well crap.

Before the Internet, I got a lot of my computer news from this man. RIP 🫡 obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei...

The Week Between Christmas and New Years

O holy night

Helping family members with iOS issues over the holidays has highlighted how awful Settings search is. Typing the exact name of a setting menu provides either no results or a random list of unrelated items. I’m sure this is a tricky problem, but it’s bonkers that it’s been this bad for so long.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

I live in a weird place, but at least it’s often a nice type of weird.

Sadly, there will soon probably be a slight uptick in the number of people bringing PowerPoint files to print houses. I don't have many good things to say about Microsoft Publisher, but it was infinitely better than PowerPoint at producing print-ready designs. support.microsoft.com/en-us/office...

This is some of the best news I’ve heard in a long while! www.theverge.com/news/837654/...

i chose to start my thanksgiving day the way my forefathers intended: by making this video, for some reason try my product 🥺

I like to keep a picture of chips open on my desktop to remind me of chips.

for some reason back in 2017, I decided to make a website to make fake video game screenshots. This was a good idea and made a lot of people laugh. Here's to the Death Generator, eight years and 270ish games later! deathgenerator.com

My kids carved pumpkins and put them on the porch. 24 hours later I get this text while I am out look at the deer’s face 😂 like “uh oh I’ve been caught”

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like. www.worldofmoose.com/collections/...

@bskycheck.com Not sure if this is intentional, but it looks like someone set a future time for their account creation and it's messing things up.

@shiftf1podcast.bsky.social I'm interested in the jet-dryer link from Ryan of Halifax, NS (where I am!) but it doesn't seem to be in the current show notes. Love the show!

i will die on the hill that this goes beyond a generational divide. the meat of a 23-minute video can be written down and read in a fraction of the time. if you're trying to make a point to me a send me a link to a yt video, expecting me to devote HALF AN HOUR to it, you are a psychopath.

I'm all for free speech but imo it should be illegal to comment on articles before reading them

@tomwarren.co.uk Hi! I really enjoy your Notepad newsletter, but I always see these weird "ads" in it. Is this a placeholder for a future ad spot? Is it my email client preventing a real ad from being served? It's always the same one, and it links to the Wikipedia page for Limonene. Thanks!

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

Some quick thoughts about yesterday's Apple event. The new AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone 17 Pro were the key standouts to me. I was also annoyed by what I think is a misuse of the "design is how it works" mantra. anderegg.ca/2025/09/10/q...

Our first look at the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max

iPhone 17 Pro base model now starts at 256 gigs at $1,599 in Canada. That's the same price for the same storage as last year. Only change is that the 128 gig model is no longer offered. www.iphoneincanada.ca/2024/09/09/i...

I have no idea how an Atlassian-owned browser will work. This feels like an excuse to own something AI-related. I don't really care about The Browser Company's products, but I don't think this is great news for those who do.

I came across an interesting article about the history of the colour blue. Sadly, like so many things these days, it’s on Substack. I check what else the author has written… and there’s a fawning post about Atlas Shrugged. I have to pay to read past paragraph 3. Sounds about right.

I remember when there were only a handful of choices for top level domains. Today I came across a blog hosted on a domain ending in `.ooo`. I haven't thought about what TLD options were available in a while, and had some questions about this one in particular. anderegg.ca/2025/08/26/n...
