Powerful, innovative and, most importantly, fun, the Polyend Synth makes complex synth arrangements accessible to the most amateur of players. musictech.com/features/inter…

I reviewed the new Moog Muse for @WIRED
Somehow it manages to feel like a pretty decent bang for your buck despite the $3,500 price tag.

My review for MusicTech is live!
With the PolyBrute 12, Arturia addressed some issues with the original and, in the process may, have built the most powerful analogue synthesizer of the modern age.
But there is one BIG hurdle for Arturia to overcome… musictech.com/reviews/hardwa…

So someone bought the TUAW domain, populated it with AI-generated slop, and then reused my name from a job I had when I was 21 years old to try to pull some SEO scam that won’t even work in 2024 because Google changed its algo. Assholes! H/t @gruber

THIS. I am so frustrated by American journalists who seem to be ignorant of CCP's meddling & surveillance of fellow reporters & sources -- just because you love some part of the app! Stop both-siding a foreign owned biz with American-owned rivals that are subjected to US laws.
7) TikTok has **admitted** it used its app to spy on reporters and track their sources, according to internal email. They were tracking IP information & this was used to monitor journalists in the US. ➡️we want to avoid another journalist Jamal Khashoggi incident!

Considering the going rate for most media jobs these days and the cost of living in NYC, might need to consider a 2nd career change.
