    It was undeniably *fun* seeing Apple unveil the McLaren of Macs. Fun has been missing in the Mac hardware world for a long time.

    My personal record, on a flight from Taipei to San Francisco, thanks to e-gates here and Global Entry there, is 17 total minutes spent inside airports on a single trip 😎

    This article about people being late to the airport is very strange in that its example is someone who is very early 🤷‍♂️

    I woke up to news that the airline I fly the most, , switched to charging for WI-FI by the MB instead of by the hour/flight. In related news, I will no longer be flying if at all possible. (Same reason I don’t fly ANA. , your NE Asia partners 👎)
