At the time, there was very little advantage to buying the Pro model. Ironically, it's the first time I've ever bought the base model.

Is this the new dictation engine that I'm not allowed to run on my 1-YEAR-OLD IPHONE 17 because it's not Pro?

Surprised not to see anyone recommending Acquired, which I love. They have a huge catalog of great old episodes, too.

A tale as old as time

I totally agree. When I use em-dashes in my /family iMessage thread/ I get accused of having used ChatGPT to write my reply—my one-sentence reply about dinner plans. Dear Lord.

We say this in the operating room, too. Similar idea as “measure twice, cut once”.

Speaking Greek would’ve made medical school a little easier

Cecil’s answer isn’t quite right. “ectomy” is indeed “cut it out” but the first definition he gives for “ostomy” (“cut a hole in something”) is the proper definition for “otomy”. The second “ostomy” definition is correct: creating a stoma (mouth). It’s all Greek, for real.

This is a pretty uninformed take. The tech in AirPods is great, but people using a normal earphone as a hearing aid will be disappointed. The vast majority of people with hearing loss have a degree of loss that varies by sound frequency. If you boost everything 40 dB so the high pitches are back to normal, the low pitches will be extremely uncomfortable. The programming of a hearing aid is in many ways more important than the "engineering" that makes an AirPod Pro a great listening device.

Thank you for calling my attention to this buying opportunity

I started using fastmail about a year ago. They've been around since the late 1990s so I feel good about their longevity.
