Bloomberg: “The iPad’s next major software update, iPadOS 16, will have a redesigned multitasking interface that makes it easier to see what apps are open and switch between tasks, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the changes aren’t yet public. It also will let users resize app windows and offer new ways for users to handle multiple apps at once.”
I’ve asked for an iPad running macOS in the past but I’m not sure that’s really what I want. I do like the idea of a single device that can be both laptop and tablet, like Microsoft’s excellent Surface Pro, but there’s also a camp that would love to see a touch and pencil enabled Mac.
Axios: “Richmond will get its first taste of drone delivery with packages delivered in 30 minutes or less when Walmart’s DroneUp launches here this year.”
This is kind of fun to think about. I have no thoughts about how this experiment will go. When I told my wife about it she said “Won’t folks just knock them out of the sky and steal their load?” 😳
New Republic: “When officers did arrive on the scene, state officials acknowledged to reporters late last week, they did not confront the gunman until nearly 90 minutes after the murders began.”
I’m not sure how you can be a cop and be afraid of bad guys with guns.
Today it seems like a lot of cops want to cosplay as soldiers and play with their toys (guns.)
When did policing stop being about service to the community and become a bunch of armed thugs?
The mythical “good guys with guns” failed those poor kids and their teachers.
It’s worth repeating. A mom drove there. Got handcuffed. Got out of handcuffs. Hopped a fence. Went inside the school and walked out with her two kids. All while 19 officers waited outside the classroom where the gunman was. #UvaldePolice #Uvalde

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

San Francisco Examiner: “Cy was a victim of ‘pig-slaughtering,’ a type of online crypto fraud in which the victim is ‘fattened up’ over months by a criminal who builds an online relationship, then guides their prey into crypto trading and seizes their money.”
When I read stuff like this the only reason I can think of crypto existing is to defraud people and support criminals laundering their money.
Politico: “Today, in his first in-depth interview on the topic, Luttig shares the story of those days before the insurrection, when he was unknowingly enlisted to help Pence reject Trump’s efforts on Jan. 6.”
A concise story of how a judge helped then Vice President Pence avert a successful coup attempt by Trump and his allies.
We are at the precipice of losing our democracy. The MAGA movement needs to be destroyed.
Reuters - via NBC News: “‘Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week,’ Musk wrote in his Tuesday email. ‘If you don’t show up, we will assume you have resigned.’”
Musk is an interesting character. To my eyes he’s a libertarian grifter. Yes, yes, he’s smart, but a grifter all the same.
How is he going to fulfill his commitment to the purchase of Twitter with the economy headed for recession and his calls for a hiring freeze and possible 10% cut in Tesla employees?
Guess we’ll find out. 🍿
The guy saying you must be in the office, is OOO…always.
