  • My shorts feed mostly consists of videos about the signs of depression and mechanical keyboards.

  • On Mac and iPad it's option-shift-hyphen.

    Also there's the en-dash (option-hypen on Mac/iPad), which is slightly shorter: –

    The en-dash is meant for ranges of numbers, e.g., 1990–2023, although some use it like an em-dash.

    Jump

  • Apple Podcasts app on any platform. If you subscribe to like more than few dozen podcasts it runs at a snail’s pace even on the latest M1 and M2 devices from my experience. I turned off automatic downloads and it still ran slow. I don’t know why because a podcast app should be little different than an rss reader in theory, no?

    Anyway I switched to Overcast last year and haven’t looked back.
