Episode notes

Apple has a long history going back to, I believe the first major version of this that we saw in modern day was dashboard for Mac OS. A long history of these views that you can get where you have to like go to the view or you look at a view of something and at that point when you're looking at it, the app is asked, hey, update this data. And from a user point of view, that sucks. There are rumors that they're going to actually change the SOC, not just change the number and up, but actually change what.
