  Kind of fitting Tim Cook is going out with another record revenue quarter. iPad was down and Services was a little soft but otherwise a pretty great quarter for him to say goodbye on. https://sixcolors.com/post/2026/07/apple-announces-record-q3-results/

  Hey “The Bear” watchers. When you’re done, try HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere.” For two shows that on the surface seem very different, they are both stories about midwesterners dealing with grief and figuring out what they want from life. One’s just way more famous.

  The Rest Is History has ruined me, in that I can’t watch Brazil play now without realizing that they are wearing yellow for the Habsburgs. Seriously. You could look it up, or listen to their episode about the Brazil national anthem. https://therestishistory.com/episodes/the-emperor-s-anthem-part-5

  This might be my favorite iPadOS feature in terms of sheer cleverness. Elegant solution to the "hidden window" problem but also hilarious to have a li'l buddy window that just wants to stay in your face

  Just to make this clear, these video integrations want us to stop editing the audio and start editing the video. We don't do this with Upgrade and it's why we're not on Spotify. If you do video on Spotify it throws away your podcast audio file and just uses the audio from the video version. We put way more effort into our audio than our video edit because most of our audience is listening. To change this would require us to change our entire process. Not impossible, but...

  This. Never judge Developer Beta 1 as a finished product. Not only are some pieces obviously not remotely done, but this is the cycle for feedback. Dunking on Beta 1 bugs can be fun but what Apple really needs is to hear your feedback. https://mastodon.social/@marcoarment/114660091936603132

  I don't know why NASA TV lets those horrible hums at 1.33KHz and 2.66KHz out into the world, but I just filtered them out on my Mac using iZotope and Audio Hijack. 😬
