MacBreak Weekly #1027 - “The Paris of the South Bay” is now available.
Topics this week include WWDC 2025 positioned as Apple’s AI showcase with iOS 27 Siri and on-device AI improvements, Dell’s new XPS 13 competing with the MacBook Neo at $699, leaks surrounding upcoming Apple Glasses generating industry excitement, new Beats headphones with redesigned styling, Amazon’s acquisition of Apple’s Globalstar satellite equity, Microsoft discontinuing Office 2019 for Mac, and speculation about a Vision Pro successor arriving in late 2028 at a lower price point with lighter design.
If @Leo wants the RTX Spark experience, but with Linux, nVidia have been selling DGX Spark devices (which is essentially the highest end RTX Spark in a mini-PC form factor) for about a year now, and it can run Linux. You can also RDMA cluster them together, using Exo.
Dell has been selling them as well, and I think a couple of other manufacturers as well.
I like when they open the WWDC with a bit. Shelly was like “I hope they’re not driving a car or flying a plane” but I have to say when Phil Schiller was flying that plane in 2024 it was awesome. I loved that opening segment. Was so hype.
I actually added Kickstart My Heart to my Apple Music library after that WWDC and I listen to that song fairly often.
Really fun fact that a TWIT regular guest ended up in the CBS drama.
I know nobody cares, but I want to say good job to Jason for saying Nilay Patel’s name correctly!!! I noticed Leo say the name perfectly earlier.
