• RAM pressure behind the scenes
• Studio Display frustration
• Macs, chips, and weird naming
• macOS Tahoe and the usability split
• AI in the home
• Vision Pro, F1, and alternate broadcasts
• Passwords, subscriptions, and trust
• Manufacturing, events, and Apple’s mood
• Odds and ends worth noting
