I don't think many people understand the level of chaos happening in tech right now.

This is just fucking insane

As a classically trained cellist, composer, former Apple employee, and CEO of a design studio that specialized in icon and UI design, I am ~uniquely qualified~ to comment on the Apple Music Classical app.

My lead investor just texted me this about SVB.

Tons of coding tutorials drive traffic to paid courses, video sponsorships, and a little Adsense sprinkled on top.

Immersive retail company CAMP sends this letter to customers, offering 40% off to help build its asset base in a new account at Chase.

“You can use the code BANKRUN at checkout”

$SIVB

I need to take a little break because the level of financial ignorance from grown men in tech is giving me a literal headache. How did these guys run actual companies without understanding how banks work or the basic principle that money is finite and specific. Back in a few.

This is not hard to picture. Imagine you have $13 million in your bank account on the 9th of the month.

Then imagine it's the 15th of the month, and you have to cut usual checks for payroll.

But instead of $13 million, you have zero in your bank account. That is where we are.

Former Silicon Valley Bank users —
your bank closing will likely be used as a phishing pretext by cyber criminals over email, text message, and phone call. Financial fear tricks folks fast.

look for terminal commands to speed up more slow animations!

if you set your dock to hide, run this Terminal command to get rid of the slowest animation on macOS:

Defaults write http://com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0 && defaults write http://com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.4 && killall Dock

trust me

slowest unnecessary delay* (it's not actually the animation that's causing the slowness). You can see the difference here https://macos-defaults.com/dock/autohide-delay.html#set-to-0-5-default-value

An explainer on what is going on with Silicon Valley Bank:

- In 2021 SVB saw a mass influx in deposits, which jumped from $61.76bn at the end of 2019 to $189.20bn at the end of 2021.

- As deposits grew, SVB could not grow their loan book fast enough to generate the yield they… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1633956163565002752

As a premiere user of 18 years i made the dreaded switch of learning resolve and haven’t been more happier. I know it’s annoying seeing everyone say stuff like this but it’s not BS. Couldn’t be happier

It’s the new Pimoronini 7” display, which was well priced too https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/inky-impression-7-3
It’s being driven by a small Python script and believe it or not, a Pi Zero

Got this 7” COLOR e-ink display and it’s so rad, I have so many ideas for how these could be useful around the house 🤓

Sunk cost fallacy for cult of personalities is definitely a thing.

I’m starting to think USB-C plugs in outlets is a disaster waiting to happen…

Given the surge of interest in Twitter's future, we thought this would be a good time to clarify the relationship between Bluesky and Twitter.

one of the funniest things about elon is that he seems to literally think he can just rich-guy his way out of everything and is absolutely, genuinely baffled when things like "federal law" actually apply to him

🤯 Wait... Did I just witness someone troll Elon Musk out of $100 million dollars?

In front of everyone?

On his own website?!

By baiting Elon into trolling him?!

Did I just see the greatest troll of all time?
