@farzyness It is pretty bad yes

[Tony Fadell @tfadell]

Spotted in the NYC subway. “Zero screen time.” An iPod Shuffle ad in 2026.

When we built the iPod, the goal was the technology disappeared and you could have your music wherever you were. 1,000 songs in your pocket.

Now we’re living through a moment where people are actively looking for ways to disconnect from the infinite feed, algos, and constant notifications. That doesn’t mean technology is bad. It means the best technology understands when to step back.

Not every problem needs another screen, another menu, or another layer of complexity. Constraints create freedom (read: @DavidEpstein new book Inside the Box). And often removing features creates a better product than adding them.

The future of technology shouldn’t just be more engagement. It should help us be more human.

@LinusEkenstam @jasteinerman Yes Azores and madeira are pretty close. Galicia also made me think of Hawaï sometimes.

In Nazaré, Portugal, surfer Sebastian Steudtner rode a 26.2-meter wave, setting a new world record for big wave surfing.

An unbelievable feat!

@Moonlight_myths Insolate your walls. Maybe the parents can do the same to make it more sound proof?
