  • Croissant starts at $2.99 per month, or you can pay $19.99 per year or a one-time fee of $59.99. That’s probably too much for casual posters, granted—McCarthy says the intended audience is really small business owners and creators “who use social media professionally, but is not their full time job.”

    I can see the appeal of the annual cost—even the one-time fee. If you post at least once a week, that’s 156 posts across platforms per year. Add Instagram into the mix and now you’re at 208.














  • “It’s fine, we knew this would happen,” DeMarco said in a series of deleted posts. "I can’t talk about what went down, but we were screwed over, and the options were A) not finish and air nothing and call it a loss, B) Just finish and air Episode 1 and leave it incomplete or C) run all four, warts and all.

    Honestly, I’d rather that we only got the first episode as a pilot and wait for the promise of funding at a later date rather than present a half-assed follow-up.





  • […] so why were only Apple phones affected?

    The answer, it seems, is because Apple recently defected from traditional quartz-based clocks in its phones in favor of clocks that are also made of MEMS silicon. Given that clocks are the most critical device in any computer and are necessary to make the CPU function, their disruption with helium atoms is enough to crash the device.

    In this case, the leaking helium from the MRI machine infiltrated the iPhones like a “tiny grain of sand” and caused the MEMS clocks to go haywire.
