Apple reportedly plans a return to chasing thinness in its hardware designs

Thinness is good, as long as it doesn't come at the expense of other things.

@arstechnica Bollocks to thinness. I want a chunky, replaceable battery and a headphone jack.

we need metacomputers.

one of the big features of computers and how they improved productivity was how they let us automate a lot of things that we had to do by hand before.

well, most of the things I have to do by hand these days involve badly designed software.

@foone I’ve been saying for years that I’d love to write a sufficiently complex series of scripts and utilities to do an entire day’s work for me automatically and have it fired off each morning by me pressing a huge button with JOB written on it while I eat breakfast

You know, in the 80s people often said things like "in 40 years, everything will have computers in them", and while they weren't wrong, they severely underestimated the situation.
Our computers have computers in them. Those smaller computers often have even smaller computers inside them.

We didn't get a "everything is a computer" future, we got a future with fractal computers. The fuckers have metastasized

@foone Maybe in 40 years nothing will have a computer in it
