Once again, Google has parodied Apple only to become a parody itself the following year.
Inevitable.
We’ve asked Google why it is dropping the headphone jack for the Pixel 6A. But it’s possible the company wants to make a more convincing case to sell you wireless headphones — and wouldn’t you know it, Google revealed the new Pixel Buds Pro at Google I/O as well.
Written by Young Justice: Phantoms showrunner Greg Weisman with art by storyboard artist Christopher Jones, Young Justice: Targets will be available in comic shops on July 26. DC UNIVERSE INFINITE subscribers will have early access to the digital first comic, as Young Justice: Targets #1 will debut on the premium digital subscription service on June 14. Plus, each issue includes a bonus story detailing previously unseen adventures from past seasons of Young Justice!
Nice to see some new Young Justice comics that are official canon with the animated series.
Jason Snell, at Six Colors:
My judgment is: It’s a good app. In redesigning 1Password, AgileBits has made it feel lighter and more modern. It feels more like a modern Mac app than the old version did.
I was one of the people who thought that making 1Password a Catalyst app was a bad idea, but they appear to have pulled it off. I agree with the article that the “Quick Access” functionality introduced in 1Password 8 is nice, as is its integration with macOS’s Accessibility.
Overall, I’d say that 1Password 8 is a good Mac app, even though it’s not what we have traditionally considered a native one.
Pérez’s work on The New Teen Titans is the work that stands out in my memory. The seminal run, The Judas Contract took the title to the A-list in my opinion, and is the canonical Titans story. His work on Wonder Woman and Crisis on Infinite Earths also stand out in my mind. He was among the best in the business, and I was sad to learn about his prognosis, and now, his passing. RIP.
In addition to the new Doctor, I’m looking forward to seeing Whittaker’s finale, featuring former companions Ace and Tegan.
This is a sobering photoessay on the crisis in Ukraine, from the indefatigable James Natchwey.
James Nachtwey, now seventy-four, is among those keeping their eyes trained on the realities. Influenced by the photography that emerged from the civil-rights movement and Vietnam, he began his career at the Boston bureau of Time and then took a job at the Albuquerque Journal. When he read about the hunger strike in Northern Ireland, in 1981, he headed for Belfast. Four decades of covering conflict ensued, bringing him to El Salvador, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Balkans, Rwanda, Chechnya, and many other places. He has been injured in the field, lost colleagues and friends; his hair was once parted by a bullet. Nachtwey calls himself an “antiwar photographer.”
I got a link to this, and I’m shocked at how lazy it is. They could make a really cool grill to represent a partnership between these two brands, and instead they slapped an Airstream sticker on a regular Weber model. Lame.
Wonderful video. Nice car, too!
I’m a fan of Young Justice and missed that it started back up, so here’s your PSA: The second half of Young Justice: Phantoms is now airing on HBO Max, after a mid-season hiatus.
TIL that, not only does the MagSafe Battery Pack get firmware updates, but there’s a new one to upgrade it from 5w charging to 7.5w:
In order to get 7.5W charging on the go, update your MagSafe Battery Pack to the latest firmware. The firmware update begins automatically after you attach your battery pack to your iPhone. The firmware update can take about one week.
To update the firmware using a Mac or iPad, plug one end of a Lightning to USB cable into the Lightning connector on your battery pack, and the other end into your Mac or iPad. The firmware update will take about 5 minutes.
You can check that the update is complete on your iPhone in Settings > General > About > MagSafe Battery Pack. The Firmware Version will be 2.7.
I tried this with my Mac, and even after leaving the pack connected to the Mac overnight, it was still not updated. I unplugged/plugged it a few times, to no avail. I tried it with the iPad, and it didn’t work the first time—this is one of those times where Apple’s tendency to make these things happen invisibly is a drag—but it did the second time, and now I have the right firmware.
