After Steve Jobs died, there were many articles and a book that asked, ”What Would Steve Do?” I never found the idea compelling. Jobs wasn’t always admirable.

But today’s news (https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-little-problem-apple-143043003.html), makes me wonder what Steve would do during the Trump regime if he were ​at Apple’s helm.

I don’t know for certain what he would have done, but I’m pretty sure it would better than Tim Cook. https://www.macstories.net/stories/are-pride-wallpapers-and-a-watch-band-enough-in-2025/

Like most people who capitulate to ​Trump, Tim Cook has failed the Lando test.

This class action lawsuit over Apple’s AI promises seemed inevitable and probably justified. One factor for my decision to upgraded this year was wanted to get an early look at Apple AI which I hoped would be more useful and address privacy and environmental concerns better. I suspect they can find others who bought phones based on the Apple AI promises. https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/20/apple-intelligence-siri-lawsuit/

I’ve been afraid to enable the new UI for #WebPageTest because I wasn't certain I would be able to get back to the old UI.

But I took the leap today hoping I would find an easier way to run experiments blocking domains.

Has anyone else switched to the new UI yet? What are your impressions?

I forgot to mention, I bought the hardcover because I don't want to risk a court order causing an electronic version to be pulled from my library by an ebook provider.

Good morning. Can someone point me to the thread where we’re consolidating all of our complaints about daylight savings time shifts? I have some thoughts.

Over the weekend, we watched Flow for the first time. It was also the first movie or TV show we’ve watched that our nearly six-year-old cat paid attention to. He was engrossed in it.

I also wrote the article last week and then kept forgetting to hit publish. Almost let another day go without hitting the button. Once I wrote it, it felt done. :)

Last week I learned that the loading=“lazy” behavior changed while I wasn’t paying attention. I wrote a quick article about the change in case others missed the news like I did. https://cloudfour.com/thinks/lazy-loading-hidden-images/

Yesterday, I updated an article to note new lazy loading behavior and update the recommendations. Unfortunately, the article was cached by the CDN. It should work now. The updated version has a note at the bottom dated Feb 11: https://cloudfour.com/thinks/stop-lazy-loading-product-and-hero-images/

Yesterday I was searching everywhere to find old conversations I had about image lazy loading behavior. Today I opened the same apps to find searches for “grigs lazy.” I feel attacked by my past self.

While I wasn’t looking, loading=“lazy” was updated to no longer download images hidden in menus and carousels. I’ve updated my article to note the new behavior and update the recommendations:

It used to be that loading=“lazy” wouldn’t stop images images from loading that were in the initial viewport, but not visible (e.g., images in menus) so we used lazy loading JS for those images.

Now loading=“lazy” seems to working. Did the standard change? Or are we just getting lucky?

Bummed to learn that Tripcase is sunsetting on Apr 1st. We helped build TripCase. It was built with web tech. It showed what was possible. I preferred it and not because it was web tech or because we worked on it. It was just better than its competitors.

Don’t you hate it when you’re about to click on something and then a notification appears and it covers what you were going to click on so you click on the notification by accident.

It seems like OSes—particularly desktop ones that can track cursor movements—should be able to mitigate this.
