I may have said this before but it needs to be said again...
The speakers on Apple's 16" M4 MacBook Pro are freaking amazing! The stereo separation is great. It sounds like this thing is 3 feet wide. And the highs are just as precise as the lows are deep.

Today's Mac tech tidbit: In Mac Safari, highlight a word and then three-finger-tap on the trackpad. A bubble will pop up with the definition of the word or a description of the actor, or other relevant information.

Screenshot of a "Get Info..." widow from a Mac.
Apple's new 'Creator Studio' versions of their iWork apps display a different name in the Finder than what they show in the file system (ie. Terminal or About..." window)
I noticed this when I saw "Keynot.app" files in my Applications folder.
Anyone know any more about this?

Screenshot showing a word highlighted in yellow with a popup-menu near it showing "Copy Link to Highlight" highlighted.
Totally cool MacOS Safari feature:
Highlight a word on a web page, right-click (ctrl-click) and select "Copy Link to Highlight" to get a link that will take someone directly to that word on that webpage with it highlighted in yellow. Boom!

This website has been around for probably 20 years and it's still kinda fun to blow something up huge!

While we're on the topic of desktop publishing... A friend just reminded me of this wonderful easter egg in an early version of Quark Express. This was definitely during the golden age of easter eggs. You just don't see fund stuff like this any more.

A framed certificate with the Aldus logo and copy thanking a person for outstanding product knowledge, support and dedication.
I received this 'certificate' with Paul Brainerd's signature on it while working at a regional computer retailer (Basicomputer based out of Akron, Ohio) in 1988. #aldus #techSupportLife
Sad to hear of his passing. He and his company, Aldus, changed the landscape of two industries. Computers and Graphic Arts. RIP.

All the more reason to hook them up to an AppleTV and never let them onto the internet.

This feels like it might be a big deal. And it certainly isn't going to lower the price of a new, now domestically made, one.

So is it just me or has the whole Windows on ARM processors transition kinda cooled a bit?

If you've got an old device still running iOS 18 or earlier, update it or stop using it for anything that you care about.

This makes the timing of the introduction of Apple's new budget-friendly line of Macs very interesting.

Guess who has the new MacBook Neo?
Hint because Bluesky can't get a preview: Walmart!

MacBook Neo 'review' for all the budding developers out there.
"He is going to go through System Settings, panel by panel, and adjust everything he can adjust just to see how he likes it."
I feel seen. ❤️

"The USBC ports are their own module instead of connected to the logic board, so damaged ports are able to be replaced without logic board repairs, same goes for the headphone jack."
It is so much better to replace an inexpensive daughter board instead of the mobo.

I used to teach a class on visual literacy using this book. A MUST READ for anyone who creates visual communications. Which is pretty much everyone.
It distills visual design down into a quick read that will make all your documents much more impactful and appealing.

A hand holds a small black square above an open laptop computer.
That's a surprisingly large amount of space dedicated speakers. Not having to scrimp for every bit of space for batteries is obviously paying off.

Two hands holding a circuit board that is about 1 inch wide and 8 inches long.
This is the motherboard of Apple's new MacBook Neo. Almost an afterthought.

Apple MacBook Neo tidbit: No keyboard backlight.

Black text on a grey background. Smaller text on top says "MacBook Neo" and larger text below says "Hello, Neo."
Anyone else notice the new font for the Neo branding?
It says SF Pro in the code but I downloaded it from Apple's dev site and it's not matching. Hmmm...

Especially love the Teams/SMS/text message warning you that they have sent you an email.

Has anyone else noticed how may young people use the caps lock key to capitalize things instead of the shift key? Kinda drives me nuts.
