Guy who says he wrote a book about, has a YouTube channel about, and works for a company obsessed with AI says it's not all just slop.

Full story at 11.

AFAIK the smallest 5K2K is 34", with a PPI of 163. I don't believe that is treated as "HiDPI" by macOS, is it?

This just sounds like more evidence that most middle management is unable to accurately measure productivity, hence their oft-repeated lie of "remote workers aren't productive".

What even is the point of these roles, if they can't measure the productivity of their reports, and when pushed for it, have to ask the people in question what their best work is.

When the managers at your employer start asking you questions like you'd hear from people who don't know you at an interview, alarm bells should be screaming in your head.

Based on my experiences back in the day, any time Logitech software doesn't start is going to be a much better time.

Just like the comment you replied to this is an argument against subscription model "thing" as a service business models, not against cars.

The reliance on SaaS LLMs is more akin to comparing owning a horse vs using a car on a monthly subscription plan.

Or, given that OP is presumably a developer who just doesn't focus fully on front end code they could skip straight to checking MDN for "center div" and get a How To article (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/How_to/Layo...) as the first result without relying on spicy autocomplete.

Given how often people acknowledge that ai slop needs to be verified, it seems like a shitty way to achieve something like this vs just checking it yourself with well known good reference material.

LLMs work very well for a variety of software tasks — we have lots of experience around the industry now.

If you haven’t been convinced by pure argument in 2026 then you probably won’t be. But the great thing is you don’t have to take anyone’s word for it.

This isn’t crypto, where everyone using it has a stake in its success. You can just try it, or not.

That's a lot of words to say "trust me bruh" which is kind of poetic given that's the entire model (no pun intended) that LLMs work on.

Hardly. Just pointing out that water is wet, from my perspective.

But there is an interesting looking-glass effect at play, where the truth seems obvious and opposite on either side.

Which rear facing "key port" on a Mac are you suggesting should be on the front?

> Which rear facing "key port" on a Mac are you suggesting should be on the front?

USB.

I used iMacs, mini and pro machines. Any ports in the front would be nice.

My m4 mini does have some front ports. It’s less of an issue now with usb-c but the iMac presumably still rear mounts them.

The Mac Studio has two of 6 TB/USB-C ports on the front, and has since inception.

So does the Mac Pro (well technically they're on the top now) and has on most models since the G5 PowerMac 20 years ago; The single model without front/top ports was replaced in 2019.

So does the Mac mini has two front facing ports now.

So your complaint is essentially about the extremely minimalist, consumer-oriented iMac, or maybe older Mac minis.

Ok. Don't buy an iMac or an old Mac mini then.

When you plug in a USB stick, surely you want it on the front? Do you get around this with an adaptor or something?

My use case seems common. The bulk of my usage of their desktops was during the ultra minimum list era that you mention. I mostly love their machines but some of the form-over-function is rough.

Presumably Pros don’t need access to the power button either.

On the rare occasion I plug in a usb flash drive (I assume that's what you mean by "stick") I use the usb-c end. On the even rarer occasion I use it with some device that doesn't have usb-c (this is actually just hypothetical I've never done this in practice) I turn the flash drive around and use the usb-a end.

It's been clear that usb-c is the future for a decade now. How on earth do you still have flash drives that are usb-a only?

I probably use the power button once a month, and I'd say this is the norm for most developers/similar people. It's no harder than accessing the menu button/toggle stick on the back of my dell display.

I rarely see a USB-C memory stick. I bought one and I’m not sure I’ve seen another. I’m usually dealing with ones others pass to me.

To make it worse, the machines I use have several USB-A ports and at most, 1 USB-C (any macs being an exception).

This is primary on MRI scanners. We live in a deeply flawed world.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
