Last month, I showed you how to have two web browsers and split the screen so you could see two websites at the same time. Now, I'm going to show how to automate the process via an easy to create and configure shortcut.
Here's the code:

The more you use a Mac, the more you want to use keyboard shortcuts to get work done even faster than before. Here are 6 keyboard shortcuts to help you along the way.
Apple’s Shortcuts app for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS just might be the most useful app on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps. The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps. For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA to the beach, and launches your surf music playlist.
Don’t relegate the Apple Shortcuts app to the same hidden folder as Compass and Keynote — it might be the most useful app you have.
The main limit to what you can build is your imagination. But even without any, you can search through the “Gallery” in the app to find pre-built shortcuts.
My favorite, called “Directions To Event,” lists every event in my calendar that has an address attached. Tap the appointment, and you’ll immediately get Apple Maps directions.
Things get really exciting when you start adding multiple actions to a single shortcut. I made a shortcut that can translate Spanish, Japanese and other non-English text I encounter and speak it out loud in English. I started with the “Take Photo” action, then added the “Extract Text” option, which recognizes any text in a photo you take. Then I added the “Translate Text” option, then “Speak Text.” The complete chain of action helps a ton when I’m traveling.

Apple this week filed a required notice with the state of California, confirming plans to permanently lay off more than 600 employees. Under California law, employers must give employees and state representatives a 60-day notice before a mass layoff event.
The employees listed are located in several Apple-occupied buildings around Santa Clara, California, which is close to Apple's Cupertino headquarters. Several of these locations were rumored to be associated with Apple Car development in the past, so it is likely that these layoffs are related to Apple's decision to stop work on the car project.
Apple officially ended development on the Apple Car in March. Approximately 2,000 employees working on the Apple Car were told that the project was winding down at that time, and Apple began the process of moving some of them to work on artificial intelligence under John Giannandrea and in other relevant departments.
Other employees were given 90 days to apply for open positions within the company, but Apple hired hardware engineers and car designers while working on the Apple Car, and these employees may not have had skills applicable to other projects.
Apple also recently ended development on in-house microLED displays, so some of the layoffs might also be related to the decision to discontinue that work.
