Just finished up 7 really great years at Wirecutter. I'm off to something very different in a few weeks, but am grateful for the time & the really smart and thoughtful people there. Also, I just got to delete and permanently inbox zero that email address, which is awesome.

I’m very here for @wirecutter debunking TikTok trending products.

And in his teenage years he even had /things to say/ about his fans

Taking a break from Prime Day stuff because I thought you all need to know that Watson is actually my dog and he has actually loved laying in front of these since he was a puppy.

[NYT Wirecutter @wirecutter]

Even the dogs love a good Vornado. Just look at senior editor @marksmirniotis's dog Watson having himself a nice cooldown.

Well, I finally invaded @reckless’s turf: It’s baby’s first story for @verge. I wrote about the accessibility features Apple includes on the Mac and how they’re more or less the same everywhere across Apple’s platforms. That continuity matters a lot.

I had a dentist appointment during the Apple event. Before I catch up, I'll assume the only thing anyone can talk about is how on earth this mismatched horror got made

It seems weird that you have to replace houseplants every month. If only there was a way for them to last longer.

A bunch of my feed is Star Trek so I really thought this tweet was going somewhere different talking about enterprise security.

[Andy Robbins @_wald0]

If your entire enterprise security model crumbles because a user fell for a phish, that's not the user's fault.

I washed my car last week for the first time in months, and so it was my fault it rained that night. I started reengaging on twitter again a few weeks ago so...this one might be on me. Sorry y'all

[Mark Smirniotis @marksmirniotis]

I don't know if I can get more personal in my writing than admitting I clicked on an ad. At least it kinda worked out this time? Make me feel better and tell me the dumb thing you bought bc of an ad. https://t.co/K9Yqmoy3aD

[Mark Smirniotis @marksmirniotis]

I suggested naming this series "online security: do as we say, not as we do", but couldn't make it stick.

If you're just a regular person, the Apple thing today was pretty much just newer bits in the good and (comparatively) cheap iPhone SE, if you need one of those. The $2000-8000 double stuf Mac mini probably isn't a universal appeal kinda thing

[NYT Wirecutter @wirecutter]

Did you miss today's #AppleEvent? We've got you covered on the top things to know.

Probably the first time @wirecutter talking about video games needed to link to @wirecutter recommending notebooks. @kingthor keeping me from a huge mistake here https://t.co/lym56j0ptR
