Quick review: Logitech MX Keys Mini (Mac) I've been an Apple "Magic Keyboard" (MK) user for 20+ years. I've tried various other keyboards over that time. This is the first that works for me as a viable alternative to the MK. The layout and key feel is very similar. 🧵

A bright blue TVR roadster just drove past me. Hell yeah.

A yellow Corrado just drove past me. Hell yeah.

I wonder if there are any EVs that support "DC slow charging" — i.e. could I trickle charge an EV in my driveway directly from solar panels without the losses associated with conversion to AC.

I just sent this to a new team member: > PS since you're probably not set up on our Slack yet, feel free to text or call me via Signal, iMessage, SMS, RCS, or PSTN at +1-555-867-5309 if that'd be helpful. 🙄 I'm just the biggest dork in the world. 🙄

Anyone in North America interested in a laptop swap? I got a new 16" MacBook Pro for work, so I'd love to downsize my personal laptop from 16" to 14". If you've got a 14" MBP and would like to upsize to 16", let's talk. Mine has an M3 Pro SoC w/36 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.

I just saw a Rivian R2 on the street. They're gonna sell as many as they can make.

🤩 oooh maybe new ebike time soon! 😅 (Even if I ordered it today I wouldn't get it for months. But still exciting. This thing is *really* interesting.)

As a Mac user who is still on MacOS 15, I am **not thrilled** that Apple has just released a MacOS 26 update that addresses 29 vulnerabilities — 3 in the kernel — and has not released a corresponding update for MacOS 15. mjtsai.com/blog/2026/07/01/ma...

I seem to have injured myself playing Hades. Oh, the ignominy.

Hell yeah! Solar overtakes coal in US electricity for the first month on record ember-energy.org/latest-updat...

Cities aren't loud, combustion engines are loud.

Aptera wasn't designed to fit in. It was designed to move forward 💚

I finally read A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers. A beautiful book!

I'm sick and tired of apps abusing push notifications to boost engagement. It's incredibly obnoxious.

Speaking of great apps, check out the response latency on this bug report email I sent to the creators of Croissant — very impressive! apps.apple.com/app/id6670288979

🌈 Chance of rainbows! 🌈

So there's something I need to arrange with the IRS, and it can only be arranged by phone. So I called the IRS. The IVR told me that my wait would be 30 to 60 minutes. No callback option! Seriously!

I just realized I've only ever seen the first Jurassic Park film. Does Letterboxd have a badge for that?

🤦🤦🤦 I don't have enough faces nor palms for all the ignorant car reviewers saying that a car is no longer using a lithium-ion battery because it's now using a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery. 🤦🤦🤦

Anthropic partnering with Elon should be a reminder that the real end goal should be powerful open models you can run on your own hardware China is making great progress there

I don’t consider myself political but I would like the government to whom I pay taxes stop killing and disappearing my neighbors and stop trying to take away the pills that keep me alive.

This week, we saw RFK Jr. accelerate his attacks on antidepressants, calling for a shift to rely on therapy and nutrition at a time of cuts to health insurance and SNAP. Drawing on research (including from my book Coverage Denied) and experience, I wrote this for @ms.now. www.ms.now/opinion/rfk-...

I just started playing Hades for the first time a few days ago, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I think this is the first rouge-like that's ever clicked for me.

I've been using iPadOS 26 for 7 months now, and I still don't understand how its windowing system works.

How is it 2026 and GUIs are still popping up prompts and dialogs while I'm typing, so that those dialogs intercept my typing, and I trigger some random button without even having a chance to read the dialog? Just stop it already! Check if the user is typing! Do *not* pop up a dialog while they are!

As fossil fuel prices have shot up, it’s a good time to consider going electric. I’ve had an electric car for a decade and a heat pump for a year, and I’m very happy with both — simply all-around better technology than burning stuff. www.noahpinion.blog/p/maybe-you-...

Maybe you should have bought an electric car

The Iran War is illustrating the cost of anti-EV nonsense.

You don't have to hate cars, but you should absolutely hate forced car dependency. This latest video from NJB breaks down the true cost of motonormativity, from subsidized sprawl and noise pollution to the physical destruction of our cities.

Just saw Sinners at the cinema. Wild!
