I wrote up my impressions of the new 2024 M4 iPad Pro: fields.medium.com/some-thought...

Some thoughts on the 2024 M4 iPad Profields.medium.com I upgraded my iPad Pro from a 2020 12.9” (non-M1, A12Z Bionic) model to a brand new 2024 M4 13”. Here are some initial impressions.

It has come to my attention that some of you are not aware of how to tell cilantro and parsley apart at the grocery store. There’s a simple rule of thumb to help with this - look at the ends of the leaves. Cilantro curvy, parsley pointy.

As a general rule for NYC, don’t stand on lines. There likely are 20 other things just as good nearby that just haven’t appeared on everyone’s “best of X” list.

Your yearly reminder that Nazis celebrate 4/20 as Hilter’s birthday, and we should move the pot holiday to 4/30.

Hey, man - if you’re going to price a dozen bagels at $21 and only take cash, don’t give me a look when I have no singles and I hand you two twenties. You brought that on yourself.

I finally got around to finding a good domain to use as a home index for all of my media criticism / punch-up writings: nowit.rocks

The problem is "stop using unsupported devices" means tossing out perfectly usable devices after only a few short years of use that has other environmental effects. The real push should be forcing manufacturers to do security updates for longer.

Apple gave us the first widespread consumer computing platform almost entirely free of malware, and governments are going to break it in the name of “freedom”. Brilliant work, folks.

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Four years ago around this time I was putting on disposable kitchen gloves to ride a citibike over a bridge to get to my girlfriend’s house because we didn’t know if it was a contact virus and riding by box trucks that I later learned were filled with dead bodies. So I’m gonna go with yes.

@fromsuperheroes.com I get that it’s just a throwaway joke, but it’s not cool that you dropped a major twist spoiler for Fight Club in your Arrival episode. I was going to share that episode with my teenage son who loves Arrival, but he hasn’t seen Fight Club yet.

Nothing thus far has changed my original estimation from Part 1 that Denis Villeneuve's version is an absolutely amazing portrayal of someone _dreaming about Dune_.

Are there private equity success stories? Because the only thing I’ve ever heard is “oh, this company was doing fine for decades or sometimes centuries and suddenly closed for mysterious reasons, why yes they did sell to private equity a few years ago why do you ask”.

“Troubleshoot” is a fun word to type on a swipe keyboard.

You can argue about whether it’s better to duel with swords or guns. With swords, you’re more likely to get cut, but with guns you have to step away and then turn and fire. I don’t know if we’ll ever resolve this age old debate of stabs vs paces. www.krqe.com/news/educati...
