I think what an awesome family name he has.

Like most of Issey Miyake's products and garments, it looks and presumably feels nice. I know, it is unreasonably expensive yet I like it as product design.
Miyake himself has passed on, it is worth googling his truly incredible artful fashion designs. This is made by his team, and it keeps that vibe.

no no he bought a young 2nd hand one that benefited from tax benefits for close to 30k, impressive good deal

Colleague of mine bought a young 2nd hand VW EV (ID 5 if I remember well), in Luxembourg from a VW dealer and drove it to his home in Belgium. Very nice car, and it was priced very attractively. Looks big enough inside for you and your family. Similarly spacious as my Y.

I thought the same about brand specific UIs before I got my Y. But must be said that I don't really miss CarPlay in it. The Y has a nice UI that is more sophisticated than the CarPlay UI. Yes I do play a little per month for connectivity, but not much really, and it allows me to see live traffic conditions in the gps or play my music and podcasts even if I don't have my phone with me.

Surprisingly, it will not be a Pininfarina design, rather Ferrari asked...
Marc Newson and Jony Ive's Lovefrom!
These are celebrated designers, however they have to my knowledge never designed a car.
It looks like Ferrari really wanted to have a blue sky approach for this important new car.

About the sound: check a YouTube test of the Lotus Evija EV hypercar. It sounds like a jetfighter engine, without fake sound generation. I can imagine Ferrari being able to design a cool sound for their car.

I had expected Craig Federighi, being in most keynotes since a long time. But Ternus seems super capable as well.

If a watch that notices hypertension is not news for nerds, then what is?

If earphones that offer live translation, much like the Babelfish in that classic fun sf novel, is not news for nerds, then what is?

Most people will now prefer to watch the original Star Wars trilogy in the updated edition with improved SFX etc. Let's see if using AI on these HK classics will yield a similar benefit before denouncing it.

In the 1990s we had made a multimedia training cd-rom; and if you typed a certain word at the quit/cance confirmation popup, it also showed a photo of our team. I don't think that anyone ever noticed it.

I needed to do a few presentations on technical topics the last few months.
The last time I thought, let's see if Chatgpt has some extra suggestions on the topic. I gave it the text of my presentation. It answered, "your presentation is already reasonably well structured, and I will make the text flow a bit better" - being not native English I appreciated the edits; and then it suggested some extra slides as I had asked. I checked with chatgpt and using google on these; and found them niche yet quite well spotted, even if not always all that important for my exact goals. I did use some of that material.
On the previous topic, I had more urgent things to do and was not so interested in making that presentation, it was just a job, so I asked a detailed question, it gave me the text of a presentation, and I kept refining my query over a few more iterations. In the end it came with a pretty ok presentation, with some errors present. I went through every slide, sometimes correcting here and there, sometimes dropping a slide or adding one. I had a reasonable presentation in 2h that would have taken me a good day.
Based on this experience I find it a great productivity enhancer, IF you read its output critically and accept that you will need to do some error correction.

Of related interest, I once read that HPV can cause throat cancer as well - transmitted via oral sex.
