You're probably right, just add it to the collection of "not-quite-window floating thingies", accompanied by Quick Notes, Stickies, Special Character Picker, Color Picker, Font Picker…

Sigh, I wish we could stop re-inventing what was already solved 25 years ago.

The “window” also doesn’t belong to an app! His menu bar continued to show Finder as the active app, not Siri.

Which means, if shipped like this, the Siri dialog will be a poor excuse for a window with:

- no Cmd+Tab, no Cmd+`

- no minimize??

- generally no presence in the Dock whatsoever

- no keyboard shortcuts beyond basic text editing ones

- no smart window resize

- …

So in other words, no Justin, that’s not a window. That’s a resizable Spotlight pop-up with an “X” button.

Well at least the metal part of any type-C plug will inherently be more fragile due to the hollow design and manufacturing by stamping out of sheet metal. Whereas for Lightning, it’s a solid machined part.

But as soon as you get to the chip housing and the rest of the cable, it’s anyone’s game I suppose.

>chrome/webkit and Firefox duopoly

Blink (Chrome) is not WebKit. If anything, the duopoly is Blink and WebKit at places 1 and 2 respectively.

Firefox is at around 3% market share. There’s no “-poly” to Gecko at all.

A kid raised on an animal sounds toy keyboard might also expect the computer to go “moo” when pressing the “M” key, but that doesn’t mean Apple should build that in. Expectations from previous platforms sometimes don’t fit others, and can be unlearned.

Nope, no bad faith here, I’d genuinely like to hear your use cases for the touchscreen.

I just hope you could exclude speculative new interfaces and gestures in future macOS that straight-up cannot be done with a mouse. In which case, yeah, the TouchBook would be degrading the experience for me and a huge portion of Mac users, thus making me sad.

I’d even say pipe dream of just Apple commentators and pundits. I’ve yet to hear from a normal, real-life Mac user who legitimately wishes for a touchscreen MacBook.

This isn’t heavily censored social media, you can say Pornhub.

The status bar – as in: the area where the clock, battery and signal strength are shown – is absolutely always at the top of the screen on iOS.

> my own CLI browser but is more graphical

So based on the first paragraph, I would’ve assumed “CLI” and “graphical” were mutually exclusive? Did you in fact mean to type “TUI” here? Or is your program something like a hybrid between command-based input and graphical output?

As a non-native speaker, TIL that "magnifying glass" and "loupe" are not synonyms. According to Wikipedia:

> [Loupes] generally have higher magnification than a magnifying glass, and are designed to be held or worn close to the eye.
