Chance Miller with a big scoop at 9to5Mac: It’s the end of an era: Apple has confirmed to 9to5Mac that the Mac Pro is being discontinued. It has been removed from Apple’s website as of Thursday afternoon. The “buy” page on Apple’s website for the Mac Pro now redirects to...

The email feature that got added because people kept marking email newsletters as junk.

This will be the 30th Long-Links outing. I’m 100% sure that there does not live a human being who has looked at all those Links, but my logfiles say that quite a few of you, Dear Readers, at least take the time to open one occasionally. All aboard!

Who remembers Bernie Goetz? Who remembers his victims? Or was Bernie Goetz the victim—the subway shooter who, back in 1984, fired at four black teenagers in a crowded subway car in Manhattan because he felt ...

There’s something poetic about the Mac Pro being discontinued as the MacBook Neo takes off like a rocket.

Experts say that an American ground operation targeting nuclear sites in Iran would be incredibly complicated, put troops’ lives at great risk—and might still fail.

I remember going with my dad to buy the original Mac Pro in 2006. They had to wheel it out to the car. End of an era.

rss.network sounds nice. What would it be?

Exactly one year ago today, Real Madrid Femenino appeared to be on the precipice of a new era. After five years of institutional disinterest and mediocre results, Las Blancas had at last achieved a feat worthy of the club it had until then borne in name only. Back then, in t...

When I heard about Matt's product Beeper I thought wow what if that were on the RSS network.

I think RSS should be here. Makes sense doesn't it? Why not one open independent format from nowhere that no objects to you using and will not do anything ever to turn you off. Maybe it's that RSS isn't playing hard to get? :-)

I mentioned the other day that I was mildly irked by a change in iOS 26.4 that moved the list of available updates in the App Store app one additional screen further into its hierarchy. Good news (via Nate Barham on Mastodon): you can long-press on the App Store app on your Home Screen and jump right to the Updates screen from the contextual menu. Nice! (This feature has been around for a few years, apparently, but it’s extra useful in 26.4).

Alternatively, you can create a Shortcuts shortcut that jumps you to the Updates screen. Just one action: open the URL itms-apps://apps.apple.com/updates. Save it as an “app” on your Home Screen or an action in Control Center. Me, I’m just going to use the tap-and-hold contextual menu item on the App Store app.

Back in my day, there wasn’t an endless collection of readily available emojis to express any emotion you wanted. No, we had to work hard and make our own emojis all by ourselves. There was no premade smiley face. There was only (colon+right parenthesis) or, if you were feel...
