I know the market isn't amazing right now, but I'm thinking about finally learning how to code. Advice welcome.

Pro-tip to the 8 people out there using Vision Pro and Mac Virtual Display: don't let your Mac enter low power mode.

I set Low Power Mode to turn on when my MacBook Air is on battery and then spent 3 days being confused why the virtual display latency skyrocketed from "instant" to "slideshow".

Boy I hope iOS 18 fixes this bug. If you have the beta installed, has Photo Shuffle for Lock Screen been refreshed at all? reddit.com/r/ios/comments/yn5gog/missing_people_in_lock_screen_photo_shuffle/

Worried that I've heard Craig Federighi say, "it's a great way to ___," more times than I've heard most relatives say, "I love you."

How much money and electricity would GitHub save if Actions were disabled by default for changes to conventional markdown files like README.md?

My train just pulled into Sendai, and I just witnessed four different passengers each ask permission from the person behind them before reclining their seat.

And even once that permission was granted, none reclined it more than an inch or two.
