App idea:

Use #ai to scrape all the streaming services, automatically build a watchlist of movies and shows that I wanna watch.

Then, optimize the subscribe and quit sequence to minimize my streaming spend.

Keep the bare minimum so that I always have stuff I really wanna watch available. With no waste.

This exist?

YouTube rolls out a series of simple, free games.

Goes under the brand "Playables". This to compete with the New York Times and Wordle?

Check them out...

"Chinese automaker BYD is rolling out cars capable of driving more than 1,300 miles without refueling or recharging"

That's New York to Miami without a recharge. US cars are lucky to get 1/4 that range.

The bar has been set pretty high.

Oh, and they are priced at $13K. Yikes.

@flargh All fair points. But all that said, the bar of 1300 miles without a charge/refuel has been set.

Perhaps that vehicle will never reach the US, but seems to me, its tech no doubt will.

This feels like a "range anxiety" tipping point.

@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@bgrinter 100%. So it'd sell for $26K. But price isn't the issue, it's range.

@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@flargh Your points are all well taken. I do think this is real (two SKUs actually for sale, plus backed by Warren Buffett) and a benchmark. BYD is the big dog here, making markets.

davemark,
@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@flargh Just curious. Do you see this as pure marketing spin and not a realistic achievement, not a benchmark? No judgment, just me trying to understand.

davemark,
@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@flargh Really appreciate your take on all this. Spin is everywhere, the discipline to dig in and deconstruct is so hard to keep in place. A lesson I struggle with, purely because I want to believe. Cheers!

@designatednerd @Aaronvegh PupperPost? Link?

@Aaronvegh @designatednerd I’ll take a look at the site. Interesting concept. I’ve stopped blogging, all my sharing via my socials. But I do get the occasional itch. Cheers!

Went to the Apple Store last night, got to spend some quality time with the M4 iPad Pro.

  • The screen is ridiculous. Delicious. Bright. A pleasure to interact with.

  • It's SO THIN!!! And light!

  • Add in the Magic Keyboard and it becomes SO HEAVY. Like a ship anchor.

  • The Apple Pencil Pro is next level. The shadow detail (shadow shows the pen tip in use, VERY precise) makes you want one.

If it wasn't so 💰 would have walked out with it.

@dimsumthinking If I was an artist, or just loved to draw, this would be a no brainer. As is, it is VERY attractive. Wish that Magic Keyboard was lighter.

davemark,
@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@theevildonut The Apple Pencil Pro is incredible. The new combo is worth taking for a spin if you've not yet done that.

davemark,
@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@marinaepelman Good question. I don’t know. No experience to draw from.

@marinaepelman No small thing.

Takes you to a random web site, feels like this list was compiled about 15 years ago, waves of nostalgia for the old web:

http://wiby.me/surprise

The complexity of web development, plugins, has broken the delightful simplicity and the ability to trust links.

I wish there was a version of the web that was more trustable, less hackable. No way to put that toothpaste back in the tube?

Heading to the Apple Store. Going to hold that new M4 iPad Pro in my hands.

Try out that new Apple Pencil.

See if I can see that fountain pen shadow for myself.

@marinaepelman First, LOL.
Second, that Apple Pencil shadow trick is 🔥

@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@Chancerubbage @stroughtonsmith I’ve not encountered this. Really good to know. Thanks.

@davemark@mastodon.social avatar

@kraigschmidt I was holding the larger of the two iPad Pro and it was big, but so very thin. I am used to holding the iPad mini. To me that is the ideal form factor for holding an iPad in your hand. But if I had to go bigger, that iPad Pro is so great.

Type in your favorite musical band/artist, Music Map will show you a tree of related artists.

Some great music discovery here.

I went with some really obscure artists (Brian Protheroe, anyone?) and Music Map had them all.

Spend a few minutes. Fun! 🤩

@kraigschmidt But that 40%, yeah? That’s what I love about this. Even if there’s just one new artist for me, that’s worth my time.
