The most money I ever made in the music industry was being part of a class action lawsuit against MTV. Record sales and live shows are nothing.

I have my clipper card on my Apple Watch set to “express transit” mode. I just touch my watch to the gate reader. Don’t have to unlock or double click or anything. It’s instant. Def recommend

Since it was completely server-hosted it was incredibly fast. You’d open it up and boom, everything all up to date. The search was fantastic. (Say what you will about Google but they’ve always been great at search. Very fast and very good results.) The site layout was clean and minimal. It was just a really good implementation. Of course they murdered it.

If you used Gmail in the early days, and ever used something before it, you probably had a moment where you said “wow, this is what email should have been all along”. Reader was the same.

That’s what I did! Over time I stopped looking at Feedly though. I replaced it with Reddit and Twitter mainly. Now that those sites have become Pure Evil I switched over to Apple News. I already pay for the Plus thing as part of the family bundle so might as well use it. The “Following” tab works like a personally-curated RSS feed list. If you want an algorithmic approach, you can use the “Today” tab.

The one main feature it’s still lacking that I really want is a pure chronological list of everything from my Following sources/topics. I sent them feedback so I’m sure it will show up any time in the next 5-15 years.

You can pair a PS4 dual shock or PS5 dual sense with an iPad or MacBook (or, indeed, iPhone) and use the PS Remote Play app with it. I was doing this earlier today in fact. Works pretty well.

Photos will automatically categorize pictures by person, place, thing, etc… I never bother making folders or albums because I can just search by date or place or “black cat” or whatever. If the system can’t figure it out on its own you can easily multi-select a bunch of pictures and add keywords, which can then be searched. If you really don’t want to see the whole unfiltered camera roll ever you can just stay away from the library entry. If you are in “My Albums”, for instance, and quit the app, when you come back you’ll still be there.

I guess I don’t really understand what you’re looking for.
