I'd love for #Apple to make their ports easier to find.

When facing the screen, it's nearly impossible to guess where the ports are.

Since these speaker grills are mostly decorative, why not replace a few holes to indicate where to connect their cables?

Mockup. Apple Macbooks speaker grill port indicators.

Where do we go as a society when AI inaccuracy permeates even scientific literature?

How can you fact check something when even science is susceptible of made up facts?

AI made polished writing the norm. Humans writers now look for ways to write less perfectly. More raw. To signal humanity.
Analog lenses, vintage filters, tape effects, unpolished writing. We yearn for real.
Perfection became the mark of the machine.

I find the concept of customer-centricity to be silly. For a couple of reasons:

Number one is that I truly believe referring to people as "customers" or "users" often dehumanizes the individuals we, as designers, are committed to serve.

Number two is that without customers there's not business.

A lot of work of design is explaining concepts so people understand them with the least amount of context possible.

Raycast lets you search for any file in your Google Drive without taking your hands off the keyboard. 🤯

Ed Orozco @eddzio.bsky.social · Aug 10

I use a lot of shortcuts and tools like Raycast, not to work faster, but to minimize micro-distractions.

You don't want anything to take your attention off the work.

I really believe the quality of your focus has an impact on the quality of the result.

Pro tip
Pasting OKLCH codes into Figma automatically converts them to P3 HEX (if you're using the P3 color profile)

One of the biggest challenges in communications is explaining others why you're excited about something.

Don't tell me your product uses AI. Everyone has that.

Tell me how it makes me richer, fitter, or happier or all of the above.

Another day, another AI company promises to replace workers on a mass scale soon™️ (in this case: Anthropic, 20%, 5 years).

But don't look at what they *say*.

Anthropic sells to enterprises on a per-user model. What's likelier: they designed a self-obsoleting business model or they're full of shit?
