The problem with the Touch Bar

Michael Tsai posts another excellent roundup and in the midst of it, nails down what Apple got wrong about the Touch Bar:

There’s this amazing, programmable screen, but there wasn’t really any way to empower the user to do stuff with it.

My take: Apple has collectively forgotten what makes a personal computer, you know, personal because it has been hammering their doors and windows shut for the last 15 years.

It’s not about changing the shade of paint on the door, it’s about swapping in bespoke fixtures because the original ones have sharp edges. #technology
