The ChatGPT app for Mac is native and very good.
oppegard··on Photos: New Phoenix Microcenter is a 'tech-heaven' for geeks
I bought a 3D printer from my Denver Microcenter a few weeks ago. It's not available on Amazon, and only ships from China (it's a BambuLab H2D). It gives peace of mind that if something goes wrong I can just return it locally rather than deal with shipping a 50 pound printer back to China. Same goes for a MinisForum NAS I bought a few months ago. Plus, whenever I need a one-off USB cable, thumb drive, or printer filament, it's a 15 minute drive.

Also: they're always packed on the weekends. There is definitely demand for a brick and mortar store that focuses on tech/geek hobbies.

oppegard··on OpenAI Acquires Multi
I wish Alexander and the rest of the Multi team all the best at OpenAI. I'm saddened by the loss of what I consider the best remote pair programming app around (if Mac-only is acceptable). Other than Tuple.app, are there any strong competitors? I tried Datadog's CoScreen early on, and the amount of chrome it added to windows made things a little janky (perhaps it's better now).
oppegard··on Apple announces 27-inch 5K Studio Display
I'm not the OP but I've had an XDR for about a month now, which replaced a 27" LG UltraFine 5K (same panel as the one used on 27" iMac for years). My issue with the XDR is the lack of built-in camera, mic, and speakers that are serviceable for zoom calls.

I don't need audiophile stuff, but it's remarkable how bad the built-in AV was on the LG UltraFine. Mic quality is bad enough that I won't inflict it on my co-workers. The camera is angled too low, resulting in the top of my head usually being cut off. And the speakers go from quiet to really loud, with no in-between.

oppegard··on Review our startup: AppStoreHQ -- Mobile app search/discovery
I want to sort apps by highest reviewed followed by descending sort of number of reviews. E.g., I'm more interested in apps that have 200 5-star reviews than apps with 2 5-star reviews.
