Choking on the ashes of my enemies.
It supports services apple decided aren’t competing with Apple Music.
So, Apple’s in the wrong because Spotify didn’t add the Siri music API?
In 2020, Apple did a HomePod Siri music API, and some services, such as Pandora, have adopted it.
Unfortunately, Spotify, the biggest music streaming service, has still not implemented this

It’s worth mentioning Apple has released a new API for music streaming apps allowing them to be controlled by Siri through a HomePod. However, Spotify, for whatever reason, has refused to implement the software into its app on iOS.
Like, I get it: the internet has a hate boner for Apple, and in a lot cases it’s justified. But it’s 100% on Spotify for this one.
That’s on Spotify, HomePods have been able to stream from other music services for years: https://screenrant.com/apple-homepod-supported-music-services-how-many/
All good. I was like ”one of these things is not like the others” lol.
Did you mean to link to the song “War Games”?

The “Video Games Now” part basically describes Castlevania II.
The Crazy Taxi license plate was a nice touch. I saw that and knew it was going to be Crazy Taxi (which I loved). SoR, CT and JGR were games I loved playing and can’t wait to play new versions of.
Since text isn’t graphic.
Sounds like someone’s never seen ASCII porn before.

Go in a HEV suit for the lulz.
I will never forgive them for killing bandcamp.
It ain’t dead yet, but it’s not looking good. I second this sentiment, however. I love Bandcamp and was so pissed when they bought it, only to be more pissed when they basically threw it away like a used napkin. Fuck Timmy Tencent.
Might feel more open if people didn’t need a fucking invite code to join, but ok.
It has gotten better, but there’s till the mess of the iPads: I get mini and Pro, but Apple needs to drop either the iPad or iPad Air. Maybe just do Mini, Pro, Air, and maybe like SE or something? iPhones have that issue too: iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone SE, 3 isn’t too bad, but 4 (iPads) seems too much. It helps that the iPhones are numbered. I know iPads have generational numbers, but that’s not in the marketing.
“…Steve Jobs came back to Apple and stripped its messy range down to a few core products…”
Feels like the Apple of today forgets this part of Steve’s return.
The widgets you add to the home screen aren’t the same as this Today View. Know how you side left from the first page, and it has a widgets view? The iPad had the option to keep that view permanently on the screen and bunch the icons to the right. The option was called “Keep Today View on Home Screen”:

IMHO, it was a much better implementation of home screen widgets than what we have now.
Yes, this (from iPad OS)
That’s good to hear. World and 3 are also my #1 and #2 Mario games (sometimes 3 is #1, sometimes World is) and if this is as good as those, I’m really looking forward to it. Never could get into the NSMB stuff, for some reason. They’re OK, but just didn’t scratch that World itch.
the best 2D Mario game ever made.
That is a bold statement, given Super Mario Bros. 3 and World exist. I hope it lives up to those games.
When Xcloud eventually (promises, promises, Phil) gets purchased games access, there’ll be no need for the console anymore. Hell, PC gamers could (in theory, anyway) play GTA VI by buying the Xbox version and playing it on Xcloud (again, if purchased games comes to it, it’s been promised for years).
