My innie wrote a review of the Lumon Terminal Pro. Which will mostly sound like gibberish if you’re not a fan of Severance. But if you are, I hope you enjoy my thoughts on a “machine ideally suited for corporations with extremely strict policies on work-life separation”.

AI can be good. And one good AI thing is Arc Search, which on iPhone and Android is a mobile browser that can search the web on your behalf and create magazine-like overviews packed with interesting details and – importantly – sources. If you like the sound of that, check out my Arc Search deep dive for TapSmart.

If Siri can’t handle the basics, what hope is there for Apple Intelligence? I dig into this topic in a column for TapSmart.

Meta is awful. The question is, how easy is it to move on? In another piece for TapSmart, I explore this situation – tricky for many – through the lens of an iPhone user.

Grammarly is busy wrecking websites. David Bushell outlines how its browser extension injects its own CSS that screwed things up for his site. Frankly, there’s no excuse for what Grammarly did. At the very least its custom property names should be obscure to the point they would almost never clash with an existing website’s styles.

Am I afraid of an iOS 19 redesign? Jason Snell asked me this, after I responded to his article mentioning a new consistent design with an XKCD jibe. But I figured that this was worth writing about in fuller fashion. TL;DR: I’m sick of being sick when new designs appear, and really wish more work would be done to make new releases safe for me and the many similar folks who have vestibular conditions.

I learned today that The Entertainer no longer sells Lego. So one of the UK’s biggest toy chains doesn’t stock the world’s biggest toy brand. Online, it’s merely running down stock. That’s wild. But then The Entertainer has long been weird, for example refusing to sell toys relating to witchcraft because they offend the owners’ religious beliefs. I’m not sure why Lego offends them though. Maybe they trod on some bricks late one night.
