Welp, Apple forced my hand and generated even more news in the run up to the launch of Apple Vision Pro and it demands a response! (Right?)
As is so obvious and well-established that I forgot to mention it, you can e-mail me the show at podcast@searls.co and maybe I'll find a way to work it in. Comments, questions, and complaints are all welcome!
Without further ado, let's a-do it:
- What's new:
- It's finally shorts season! 🩳
- DNSimple is run by some lovely people and you should host your domains there
- My brother is Iron Man, here's proof
- Follow-up:
- Messaging with Siri paves the way to its becoming a multi-lingual voice assistant
- Steam Link and what it might mean if Valve (is allowed to) publish it on visionOS
- Another pun for the pun gods from Aaron
- News:
- The 40th anniversary of the Mac (and my first one)
- The absolutely monumental changes in iOS 17.4, including:
- Automatic, lyrics-like transcripts in the Podcasts app
- Evidence of on-board LLM support for Siri in iOS 18
- Cloud streaming apps are now allowed
- The Apple-Masimo blood oxygen patent kerfuffle impacting Apple Watch
- Why third-party browser rendering engine support isn't what some people were hoping
- The 27% / 12% external link "entitlement"
- Apple's cunning 50¢ core technology fee
- Recommendations:
- Cyberpunk 2077 sucks less now
- Upload season 3
- Mailbag links:
- Tonal is my preferred way to "get swole"
- Even though I failed to mention it, remember to e-mail me! The address is still podcast@searls.co
That's it. You've got places to be.
