Hi, I'm Weiran Zhang. I'm passionate about technology and building thriving software teams. This blog is where I write about things I find interesting. You can follow me on Mastodon.
Tomorrow is Apple's big iPhone event day, with a dash of Apple Watch and software thrown in. However Mark Gurman reports no new Macs at this event, so in lieu of real products announcements I thought I'd add some speculation about the new iMac GPUs now that AMD has released their brand new Radeon chips.
Every year I tell myself I don't do New Years Resolutions, they have a tendency to set one up for failure or have goals that are so benign you wonder why you had to wait for new years to do it.
Google are doing some questionable things with new TLDs, and the Internet is letting them get away with it:
I find that the longer I run the site, the more resistant I become to the idea of ever giving it up, even if I need to take the occasional break.

Why push back against 24/192? Because it’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, a business model based on willful ignorance and scamming people.
