This morning, I realized that having a self-hosted version of n8n comes with some notable limitations. For example, with the SaaS version, you can link your n8n instance to a GitHub repo so you can use version control right in GitHub and manage issues and all that. More details from Claude AI:

n8n has a native Source Control feature (available in Enterprise / Self-hosted Pro plans) that connects your n8n instance directly to a Git repo: Push/pull workflows, credentials stubs, and variables to/from a branch Supports environment promotion (e.g. dev → staging → prod branches)

9to5Mac’s article “M6 MacBook Pro: Six new features coming later this year”:

Apple is expected to launch a redesigned M6 MacBook Pro later this year featuring a thinner and lighter design, new M6/M6 Pro/M6 Max chips built on advanced 2nm technology, and a touchscreen—the first ever on a Mac. Additional upgrades include an OLED display for better contrast and blacks, a Dynamic Island replacing the notch, and possibly cellular connectivity through Apple’s new C2 modem.

This feels like a meaningful upgrade rather than an iterative one. As my aging 15-inch M2 MacBook Air is starting to show its limits for some AI-related experimentation, I’ve been considering the MacBook Pro, though it definitely feels heavy to use on the couch. A slimmer design would make that transition much easier.

What do these two smoke?

No significant product issue!?

Off the top of my head:

- iPhone 6 ‘bendgate’
- iPhone 7 ‘loop disease’
- iPhone throttling (‘batterygate’)
- The butterfly keyboard fiasco
- 12-inch retina MacBook failing display cable (trapped in the hinge mechanism, IIRC)
- 24-inch iMacs with failing display cable

He is right. Gruber looks like a fanboy at times. The keyboard fiasco lasted so long.

If Google’s Gemini will be the core intelligence behind the “new Siri” this fall, as per Google’s recent statement, should I begin exploring it to understand its personality? 🤔

You do what you want but using Substack for photo sharing…? I don’t get it. Yet, I do follow a few really impressive photographers there even if I don’t visit Substack often, when I do, I’m always delighted. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A quote from John Ternus’ internal memo leaked today (emphasis is mine):

As you’ve by now heard, Tim has announced that he will be transitioning into the executive chairman role, and in September, I will become Apple’s new CEO. It has been such a privilege to lead the hardware engineering team, to be part of such remarkable work, and to see all of you in action, determined as ever to do everything we can for our users. I look forward to working with you very closely in my new role. Needless to say, I still plan to be very hands-on.

I like this a lot. I always admired people who can be very high-level and very hands-on while being relevant at both levels.
