TechLinked has put a finger on a long-running Mac argument: should the screen respond when you touch it? Reece Murray opens "We've Waited YEARS For This" with Apple's touchscreen MacBook Pro announcement, including changes to macOS and third-party software to accommodate touch.
The episode drew an estimated 273,000 views in its first day, more than nine times the channel's usual start for regular videos. That unusually large audience did not bring an equally busy discussion: comments came in a little below the usual first-day level.
What viewers do discuss is the history behind the headline. Several joke that touchscreen laptops hardly need introducing; others bring up Steve Jobs's objections to the idea. That is a real contrast in Apple's product philosophy: in 2010, Jobs argued that repeatedly reaching toward a vertical touchscreen would tire the user's arm.
Murray's opening also includes a smaller piece of Mac nostalgia, the return of the illuminated Apple logo. Between the software changes and the glowing lid, the segment combines a new way to use the computer with a recognizable detail from older models.
The rest of the roundup moves to Anthropic's IPO filing and Discord's plans to make public-server messages searchable through Google. Linus Sebastian appears in a sponsored coding-education segment. By the closing Quick Bits, the show has reached an altogether different kind of hands-on technology job: walking robot dogs to gather AI training data.
