Honestly more than anything this is what keeps me coming back to Chrome on the Mac. It’s just easier to make app windows from websites on Chrome, and so I figure if I’m already running the engine for those apps, I might as well just use it for my main browser anyway. — PolitiTweet.org

What is WILD about all this is that on the iPad and iPhone you can "add to Home Screen" and get the experience of a web page acting basically like an app. Why won't they let us do that on macOS? — PolitiTweet.org

Web apps aren’t going away and if Safari is so much better than Chrome or Electron on battery life ....you’d like to think Apple would make this easier. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

One of my biggest frustrations with Big Sur is that Safari STILL does not allow you to set a websites as a single site browser / web app / separate window. Chrome and Edge let you do this right in the browser, with Safari you have to resort to third party tools. — PolitiTweet.org

Once upon a time the default advice was don’t upgrade on day 1 because your apps may not work. For the past few years that wasn’t really a probem. This year … I would wait. I’ve had at least a couple of my bipbobs not work or work oddly on Big Sur. It’s okay to wait! — PolitiTweet.org

Here is @dcseifert’s review of the HomePod Mini. It doesn’t have the size to match the sound of other $99 smart speakers, but it sounds way better than the other, less expensive little speakers. Also Siri. Also everybody in your house needs an iPhone https://t.co/GKADM4HfCc — PolitiTweet.org

My suggested headline: BMW launches its new flagship monstrosity of a front grille that has an electric SUV behind it I guess who can be bothered to find out when the grille looks like that? https://t.co/rfBnHafHSY https://t.co/bIEOCXaiw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Pixel users lost original upload for free some time ago, but under the new system they will maintain high quality upload for free, so there is a small bonus that’s kind of back for those users. — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of great deal services end up raising their prices and five years is a pretty solid run, but it’s still a bummer. Google claims 80 percent of users won’t hit the 15GB cap for three years. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

After five years of being completely free, Google Photos will begin capping free uploads at 15GB on June 1st, 2021. Everything uploaded until then won’t count against the cap, but it seriously complicates what used to be an easy recommendation for me. https://t.co/1B7UiVLyj6 https://t.co/PqZ5Uv4k9a — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe that’s why all the Echos are ball-shaped now, so they’re easeir to throw when Alexa is annoying. — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Every time Alexa finishes an answer and then says “By they way…” I want to chuck my Echo across the room. There’s no way to turn it off by telling Alexa to cut it out, you have to dig through innumerable app settings. So this is neat but no thanks. https://t.co/ylbDenjJ3A — PolitiTweet.org
