But when asked whether there are steps being taken to make sure the next season of the sci-fi hit will arrive sooner than the last (three years passed between Seasons 1 and 2), Erickson says, “There are.”
“We’re hoping that there are no massive strikes or pandemics or fissures opening up in the crest of the Earth that end up delaying us. Barring that, I’d certainly hope that we’d get this one out a bit sooner,” he adds. “But, ‘Severance’ has always been a show that takes a long time to make, and we’re proud of what we came up with, even though it took quite a long time.

First, despite Apple's "it just works" ethos, it doesn't always work; Macs are computers like any other, their software filled with spaghetti code and poorly defined variables. Errors creep in. This one was a bit surprising, however, in that it has already persisted across three point releases of the operating system even though the fix is in Apple's own forums and appears to be as simple as storing a file in the correct spot.

Now the HomePod mini box matches the HomePod 2 box, which is also white regardless of which color you choose.
Queue aims to be the simplest podcasts app out there. It offers a clean interface, and all of your podcasts are kept in one neat vertical list. From that list, you can play, archive, and reorder from all of your subscribed podcasts. Despite the simple design, Queue is also rich in features.
It’s clear that the company grossly underestimated the amount of work needed to deliver on what it promised for Siri last June. If it had stuck to the Jobs playbook, the time to have launched the enhancement would have been June 2025 at the earliest. The company had clearly forgotten Hofstadter’s Law: Everything takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s Law.
I really enjoyed the second season of Severance, and the season finale is great and satisfying. I can't wait to see what the creators will bring to us in the third season.
I too hope we don't have to wait another three years for the next season.
