@samdeane I can’t comment on that since I was still working at Apple in 2012.

@joe Maybe the housing should be square, but they could have slots that take new Tron-like circular M6 compute units (let's call them "disks") in addition to the regular square Mac mini's (for backwards compat).

@joe Such could also have the extra functionality of being a trashcan in the center section.

Apple should release a Mac maxi. It's essentially the same like a Mac mini (or multiple of them!), but housed in a larger case that allows for storage (or compute) expansion. You could inject more compute by slotting in more Mac mini mainboards/or just whole mini's (similar to a NeXTcube). And have space for spinning disks or M2's. It wouldn't necessarily provide more performance, i.e. it is specifically not a Mac Pro, but expansion.
I know, it won't happen. But I bet it would sell.

@JasonNickel @simonbs What are the quirks?

@simonbs @JasonNickel And I mean, honestly, what can beat a baguette holder 🥖 I shortly looked at the Mini's (the Countryman E) last year, the round display is super nice, but overall they seemed like a rather bad deal. Pricey for not that much beyond the round display.

@simonbs @JasonNickel That's what I do as well. The Zoe now only has a little over 100km range in winter, but that's still plenty for my commute and the ability to preheat/defrost the thing is chef's kiss. I found it unexpectedly spacious, both front and back, which I bet is the same for the R5, haven't tried it yet.

@simonbs @JasonNickel Battery capacity, or actually more importantly, charging speed, is an issue with most (all?) of the smaller cars. Because small unfortunately often means cost oriented. But if neither is an issue, go for it, I still like my Renault Zoe. It's zippy. I've been wondering whether I should replace it w/ an R5 (in part to get CarPlay).

AI always reminds me of this album. (doesn't translate that well, sth like "dangerous half-knowledge")

@json There is zarro change in State from even the original version though. It was always like that.

@ole "LG, Connecting Lifes"

Hm, I have an issue in my #HomeMatic battery app, which requests stuff from the base station using HTTP/S (and the base usually running a self-signed cert). Apparently since #iOS 26 requests seem to timeout for quite a few people (can't reproduce).
I thought it's the TLS 1.3 thing, but limiting it to 1.2 didn't fix the issue.
Has there been other timeout marker changes in iOS 26?

@ole Let them, could be fun! 🙂

@pl @atlauren You missed the "noob" part.

@christoff @disorderlyf @Em0nM4stodon Network effect. It's not that easy. And they know that 🙈

Maybe a reason why AI in software doesn't have that much of an effect is that the actual software engineering is somewhat irrelevant to the success of a software product. There is so much human produced shitty stuff that sells well, you couldn't tell AI apart.
Software quality rarely played a role ever, it was finding, exploring and capturing markets, which is an unrelated skill. Software doesn't usually sell because it is particularly clever, the contrary.

@kickingvegas Nah, State worked the same since day 1.

I don’t know, why do we still have 101 articles on SwiftUI in like year 7 something?
