It's frustrating the EU caved but this section is good news for everyone: "Under the new proposal, some "non-risk" cookies won't trigger pop-ups at all, and users would be able to control others from central browser controls that apply to websites broadly." www.theverge.com/news/823750/...

The Running Man (2025) My 50th film in IMAX and it looked great on that huge screen. Just lacking a bit of Edgar Wright's signature style. boxd.it/bIeMaZ

AI in a water tracking app? Of course there is! (WaterMinder)

I still think Apple's Sleep Score feature is a bit underwhelming but it's good to see these changes. 9to5mac.com/2025/11/04/watcho...

Finally!! I so tired of seeing half messages and ultra lowers images on my watch notifications. about.fb.com/news/2025/11/int...

Is there anything else on TV quite like The Chair Company? So brilliantly weird and funny.

What a way to end the first season! @bb.wavelengths.online is so fun to chat to and this flew by. Brendon talks about how he got his start and how he manages to play so many games, plus so much more! Let's go! Links to everywhere: www.macstories.net/first-last-e...

This week it's the wonderful Joe Rosensteel! I love Joe's often amusing viewpoint on tech, and his ‘Everything’ pick is a totally different approach than everyone else’s. Let's go!

Austin Johnson definitely based this voice on Craig Federighi! youtu.be/a-eKjDxXfJU?si=2Zk8b...

TRON: Ares (2025) Honestly, some of the cheesiest dialogue I've heard in a long time. Thank god for Greta Lee. boxd.it/bqh2BT

I learnt a lot with this one. Accessibility is a crucial part of app development that often doesn't receive the attention it deserves. This week's guest, @robinkanatzar.bsky.social knows all about it!

Here's some news you already knew. The 8x zoom on the Pro is incredible. 1x vs 8x on the Southbank, London facing the MI5 building. For those keeping track, I've sent back the Air and got the Pro. Mainly for something I wasn't expecting: it's too long and wide. Not so easy in the hand as a result.

Now You See Me (2013) boxd.it/2Bsu

KPop Demon Hunters have taken over my Apple Music Replay for the month and I am totally fine with that.

Those Tron: Ares reviews are not exactly hyping me for seeing it. Although maybe the visuals on IMAX will be worth the trip. The Chair Company however… can't. Fricking. Wait! youtu.be/b0lDMHAGDnU?si=6I7uZ...

“We obviously really care about rightsholders and about people” is the biggest load of bullshit ever. Your models are literally trained on people’s stuff without permission. Who’d have thought that the makers of SpongeBob wouldn’t want him as a nazi? The shock! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Loved this one. Andrew is someone on the frontline of AI but someone who is singularly focused on implementing it in an ethical way that doesn’t destroy creativity. The big AI companies shouldn’t definitely take notes.

Ok, it’s holiday time. Let’s test this crossbody strap life.

There's some argument to be made about the similarities between Apple refusing to unlock a terrosist's iPhone but removing an app that helps people resist often illegal and violent activities by ICE, but I'll leave that to someone more eloquent. Either way, it's fucked up. www.macstories.net/linked/

This was a fantastic chat. @playpokpok.com holds a special place in my – and my daughters – heart, and it's ideals like in the clip below that are so great to see in the current climate.

David X. Cohen on creating the groundbreaking 3D episode of #TheSimpsons back in 1995, mere weeks before the release of the first Toy Story. Listen to the full interview on the latest episode of @flepodcast.macstories.net! www.macstories.net/podcasts/fir...

Zapp calling a tree a "naturally occurring stripper pole" on this season of Futurama killed me.

28 Years Later (2025) One of the most unsettling soundtracks and sound design I've heard in a while. boxd.it/bblgzP

New episode of First, Last, Everything with my old pal, Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen, is out! David is a very funny nerd, and I loved hearing about his experiences with arcade games and the Apple II in the ‘80s, plus sillier things. It was a fun chat, hope you all enjoy it!

New season of Slow Horses this week! I had the chance to watch it and it's as good as ever. I would say that, while it has its usual share of thrills, this go around leans much more into the comedy. Maybe to be expected when it has a heavy focus on the brilliant scumbag, Roddy. Must watch TV. Still.

It's Adobe Photoshop's 35th anniversary this year! Hear @flarup.bsky.social talk about why he loves how it allows you to ‘get weird’, on the latest ep of First, Last, Everything. 🟣 Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f... Links to everywhere else: www.macstories.net/first-last-e...

Been rewatching old Colbert Report clips & came across this superb bit. I hope Stephen goes back to brilliant satire like this after The Late Show ends. "People tell me I'm white, and I believe them because I just spent the last 6 minutes explaining how I'm not a racist" youtu.be/MBPgXjkfBXM?si=Xw

Not only were there updates to CarPlay in iOS 26, but they were significant enough for a review! There's some great stuff & some worrying stuff going on in this update. I dig into it all over on @macstories.net. At the very least you can now put your cat on your car screen. www.macstories.net/sto

It’s time for a new episode of First, Last, Everything! Really great chatting to Michael. He’s got such an enthusiasm for design and a passion for just doing what you love.
