mostly because of bigger budgets making scheduling harder. higher profile actors, bigger crews, potential location filming, more time required for effects and post production.

I also heard writing takes longer because it has to be refined and tightened to fit in shorter seasons.

covid and writers strike also made everything worse for a while.

and part of it is probably intentional trying to milk the golden goose for as long as possible. apologies for the mixed metaphor.

Started watching the next generation of The Grand Tour, and i’m pleasantly surprised. I’m not sure if these three will ever be as good as Clarkson Hammond and May, but they are already better than all the versions of top gear after CHM. They picked three proper car nerds rather than celebrities.

It’s a clever idea, although obviously many consumers are nervous about a proliferation of always-listening devices. The feature will be opt-in and obviously, Apple will tout its stringent privacy-preserving implementation compared to the competition. Apple’s version will not actually store audio recordings, nor will it present a transcript of conversations.

I can tell this authors story better than these silly authors can.

that's an inherent problem adapting a book to visual medium. word for word adaptations just don't work.

airpods are also really popular.

also Jobs may not have had any great products released in the last 15 years either. paradigm shifting stuff like ipods and iphones only come along once in a while.

granted the products that have been released probably would have been different in some way under jobs. For example, maybe Vision (or something like it) would have been more successfull under him. But we will never know.
