As the Relay FM community is blasting through our milestones, I will be streaming this weekend, taking apart a white MacBook. I opened about 753,289 of these notebooks back in the day, so we’ll see if I can still do it by memory!
Join me on Saturday, September 2:
Today, we are announcing Relay FM’s 5th annual fundraiser for St. Jude. Over the last four years, the Relay community has raised $2.2 million for this mission. St. Jude won’t stop their lifesaving work until no child dies from cancer. With your support, we’ll be one step closer to that day. One cure closer. One child closer.
St. Jude is an amazing institution, and one that does incredible work in an incredible way:

After getting my much-loved badge change in Reminders last year, I am back with another request, now as a full-time Reminders user.
The Today view is the most important UI in Reminders, as it pulls in overdue and due tasks into one place. Here is what mine looks like right now:
As you can see, Today puts tasks in this order:
The last three are dependent on the “Group by Time” option being enabled. If it is not, the list simply looks like this:
In March, app developer Alex Hay tragically passed away. Hay’s apps, which include Toolbox Pro, Logger for Shortcuts and Nautomate.
Thankfully they all have a new home, and the news couldn’t be better. Here’s Rosemary Orchard:
We’re truly honoured to be able to announce that we have taken over development of Toolbox Pro, Logger for Shortcuts, and Nautomate.
All three apps were originally developed by indie developer Alex Hay before he tragically passed away back in March after a battle with cancer.
Earlier this month, Zoom announced a surprising decision to require some of its employees to return to the office, where they were expected to work more effectively. Now, leaked audio from an internal Zoom meeting shared with Business Insider has revealed that Zoom CEO Eric Yuan called employees back to the office because he believes that “remote work didn’t allow people to build as much trust or be as innovative.”
There’s been a lot of discussion about the iMac recently, and the thing I was struck by this time around was the place the iMac holds in Apple’s product line.
I’ve shown this chart a lot over the years, but it highlights that when it was launched, the iMac was squarely on the consumer side of the grid:

I know it’s owned by Meta and that’s kinda icky but I am glad that Threads is finally on the web. Not every feature is there yet, but if you’re there, give me a follow!
India is now the 4th nation to land hardware on the moon, after the U.S., China and former Soviet Union.

It is with profound sadness that Adobe shares the passing of the company’s beloved co-founder Dr. John Warnock. Dr. Warnock passed away on Saturday surrounded by his family.
Dr. Warnock co-founded Adobe in 1982 with Dr. Charles Geschke after meeting as colleagues at Xerox. Their first product was Adobe PostScript, groundbreaking technology that sparked the desktop publishing revolution. Dr. Warnock retired as CEO in 2000 and he was chairman of the board, a position he shared with Dr. Geschke, until 2017. He was a member of the Board of Directors since then. In recognition of their technical achievements, Dr. Warnock was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Technology and Innovation by President Barack Obama; the Computer Entrepreneur Award from the IEEE Computer Society; the American Electronics Association Medal of Achievement; and the Marconi Prize for contributions to information science and communications.
