It copies a lot of Arc, but the core tab organisation features from Arc are significantly lacking. Last I checked (a few weeks ago), Zen didn't even have a keybind for pinning a tab. It fully keeps the Firefox bookmarks and prioritises those all over the UI. The Arc tab system is meant to entirely replace all of that. It just makes Zen feel very shallow in comparison. It's just firefox with some goofy Arc features mashed into the front without care.
Arc (macOS) is ridiculously good though. It's become difficult/impossible for me to use another browser happily the past few years. I wish they were focused on it instead of their mediocre AI browser project. They decided to claim Arc windows was out of beta when it's still vastly worse than the mac version in just about every sense. But at least they got the core tab management features locked down (from what I've heard, I don't have a windows machine to try it on.)
What are you going to do now that Arc development has stopped and The Browser Company is pivoting? (I'm also a big fan of Arc, especially the Air Traffic Control feature to keep certain sites organized into Spaces.)
I always forget how stinking nice password manager autofill is until I have to fight with magic links because some service hates me. And most implementations I've seen only log you in from the new link the email sent, not the original page. So if you are trying to log in on a device your email isn't signed in on, you get to type the entire thing in on your second device.

Probably because:
- Bad actor A attempts to login
- User B sees the email and unthinkingly clicks the magic link
- Bad Actor A now has access.
There are probably ways around this (browser session/cookies/IP/etc must match?) but that'd be a common enough scenario...
Common enough that e.g. Microsoft Authenticator switched from sending a notification that you can tap to approve/reject (same as scenario above) to needing to enter a 2-digit code that you also see on the webpage (so without seeing Bad Actor A's page you cannot enter the code and approve their login).
More times than I would like, I have had to manually type out some ludicrously long secret key/token/url. Could we please standardize on only using long strings that do not require il1o0 in them? I suppose it is a failure of Latin or the default fonts with which I am frequently stuck, but it would save me a minor bit of life aggravation.
Shortcuts is Apple's block based programming language for automating stuff between apps. Pretty barebones but still useful. Just so you get an idea of how limited it is, the only way to emulate a normal function is to recursively call the entire program with different input parameters and skip down to the right region of code.
Complications are just the little informational widgets on Apple Watch faces. Just like on normal watches.
Iterations had no special meaning here.
The Modular face is basically one of the lockscreen options on an Apple Watch. It dictates the layout of complications. Don't know why it was mentioned so specifically.
not OP, but macOS has a ton of options available with arcane commands. my favorites are the auto-hide dock speed setting, the third hidden window minimise animation, and the hidden system accent colours usually locked to the colourful iMacs
I find it interesting how divisive this movie is. Many of my friends thought it was immensely boring. One even fell asleep halfway thorough. I found the first movie so incredibly captivating that it immediately became my favourite movie and I've gone on to read the first few books. I've seen it I think 10 times now.
I watched Part II on the 25th. Really really good. Having read the book now there's some things I missed or thought could be better but it still just blew me away.
