5 reasons why SMS verification should be banned as a required verification method, such as with Claude AI @AnthropicAI

@peduarte since Arc doesn't have a mobile browser you can't get cloud tabs. What do you use on mobile?

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

Figma Config is 2 weeks away and all I want is plain and simple @figma branded merch.

No themes. No collabs. Just give me the embroidered logo on high-quality gear and a die-cut sticker. Nice and clean.

Like clockwork Apple stock will dump on #WWDC26

Like clockwork Apple stock will dump on #WWDC

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

If today’s Apple #WWDC26 announcement was Apple’s first AI announcement, customers would be better off.

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

Apple’s options were

1. Hold strong to the “last mover advantage” principle which got them to where they are today. Take the stock hit.

2. Rollout half-baked AI to show they're still a technology leader to appease shareholders and boost the stock price.

Apple is not releasing the new Siri AI to the EU due to (what we can guess) the EUs continued push for backdoor access and surveillance.

Apple doesn’t get enough credit for how much they do for consumer privacy

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

First the EU wanted their own AppStore and they got it. People applauded it as “freedom from Apple control”

Now the UK wants to curtail end-to-end encryption and they got that too.

I hope it’s becoming apparent how good of a job Apple does with people’s privacy and security.

@paulg @hthieblot That yellow is called “Ginster”, VW named it after the gorse plant. It’s one of the most iconic colors in VW history.

I think we’ve entered a frenzied era of coffee-guzzling, fax-sending channel surfers who honk the microsecond the light turns green and have the attention span of a flashcube.

This was written in 1998 in “Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This”

How much has changed and yet stayed the same

@shadcn I went back to plain ol’ MacOS Terminal

@tuhin This sounds similar to photography. You take a bunch of photos and the good ones are often at the beginning or the end of your shots.

@raycast When the GA version comes out will it be an update to the existing app or a separate download and migration like the beta experience?

I was just thinking I need a body cam just to ride the TTC streetcar these days

[TTC Media Relations 📰🚌🚋🚈 @TTCNewsroom]

The #TTC has started rolling out body-worn cameras to stations staff as we move to increase safety on transit.

@disco_lu It's @LukeW mobile law, still true 13+ years later
https://t.co/D8KSFggkeC

[Luke Wroblewski @LukeW]

LukeW's law: "Every mobile app attempts to expand until it includes chat. Those programs which cannot are replaced by ones which can."

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

@raycast When the GA version is ready and launched, will it be an update to the existing app or a separate app download like this beta?

@gregbradyx Wake me up when we get 20C lows

It's about that time again where Spotify raises its prices and I'm reminded of my best value subscription and it's not even close, YouTube Premium. Which includes Music for free.
https://t.co/5h9ZbGpCy5

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

Spotify announced they're raising prices for the second time in less than a year

I am reminded of the best $14.68 I spend every month is YouTube Premium (Canadian mind you, $10.85 USD)

I haven't watched a YouTube ad since 2016. The YT music app is fine

Spotify is raising prices again. YouTube Premium (which includes Music for free) continues to be the best money I spend every month https://t.co/Cf5ffa7tok

@TTChelps When will every single streetcar go from Spadina Station to Union and back without delay, short turn, or any service disruption? It’s been 4 years of this

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

It’s coming up on 4 years since this service route disruption. @TTChelps the Queens Quay loop should only be used for emergencies. When will this service disruption finally stop?

[Mark J Harvey @markjharvey]

@TTChelps why are 510 streetcars not going to Union and turning around at Spadina?

$AAPL hit an all-time high to end the week, coming off incredible earnings last week driven largely by iPhone sales. The Ternus and AI era will be an interesting one.

@unitedBananas88 @WallStreetApes Many apps mandate SMS authentication.
I’ve been calling for this mandate to be banned for a few years now.
Phone numbers are optional.
