Hi @cabel!

Isaac here. I just found out a friend of mine's Dad may have substantial connections to why McDonald's PlayPlaces exist. If that's a rabbit hole you'd like to go down, let me know. 🙂

@enefekt DANGER LONGORIA... nice.

#WWDC25

Today is a very sad day for the Apple community

Bill Atkinson has died at the age of 74 😢

He was Apple employee number 51 & the principal designer & developer of the Lisa GUI. He was also among the first 30 members of the original Apple Macintosh development team. He was a true programing legend.🫡

Dude invented the Menu Bar.

Bill Atkinson had a unique vision. Someone else just as unusual would have had to come along to encode the ideas he had into graphical expressions. They were not there for the taking, obvious in retrospect. Apple had several such people, unique in their realms, who somehow were able to align what they created into singular products.

Here’s Bill Atkinson (and rest of team) answering questions right after the Macintosh was debuted at the Boston Computer Society in 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tQ5XwvjPmA starting at 28:25 - he demos MacPaint and more. May his memory be a blessing!

Did you hear that “Severance” doesn’t use visual effects? You did? GUESS WHAT--that’s not true at all.

Listen to our special “Severance” episode of Lighter Darker: The ILM Podcast, where we talk to production designer Jeremy Hindle and VFX supervisor Eric Leven.

If you’re using #PremierePro 25.2.x and you get a dialog box or a warning in your sequence that says:

> Can't access audio
>
> The audio for {Filename} can't be read quickly enough from storage. Please check your storage and try again.

It’s a known issue and Adobe’s addressing it.

The workaround?

1. Uninstall Premiere Pro 25.2.x.
2. Reinstall Premiere Pro 25.1 or earlier.
3. (Optional) Disable Auto-Update for Premiere Pro.
