Faster Rendering with the content-visibility CSS Property

Have you ever loaded a page with tons of content and noticed how slow it feels? The browser has to process everything at once – even the content you can’t see yet! That’s where the content-visibility property comes in. It’s a CSS feature that tells browsers to skip rendering off-screen content until it’s needed. https://webdesignernews.com/faster-rendering-with-the-content-visibility-css-property-2/

Engadget Podcast: MacBook Air M4 review, Apple delays smarter Siri

It's both a great and bad week for Apple. In this episode, we dive into Devindra's review of the excellent M4-equipped MacBook Air (and briefly chat about the new Mac Studio). We also discuss Apple's surprise announcement that it's delaying its smarter, AI-infused Siri, which may not arrive until next year. Did Apple over-promise last year, or is it wise to hold off on advanced AI features until they're ready? After all, Apple doesn't want a fiasco like Microsoft's Recall announcement.
