@sfbags.bsky.social Proper service A week or so ago my cross-body strap broke on my Tech Folio Brief. All the way over from San Fran to Norway, it just arrived today. Honestly surprised by the level of service. Back to business

Waitlist for Siri AI - it’s now been over 50hrs And my indexing is not done yet Should I be worried?

On the waitlist for the new Apple Siri AI… 10hrs and counting

@9to5mac.com The new Apple Creator Studio - I for one think its really impressive. I run the SoMe-channels for our business = Pixelmator Pro is going to be nice I record and edit podcast = Logic Pro, sweeeeet But first and foremost Im an academic writer and presenter, so the whole iWorks is simply

@chancemiller.me When do you think the rest of the world will get stuff like; Workout Buddy Call Screening Transcription from Voice Recording Among other stuff. Really missing Call Screening and Workout Buddy - had it when betatesting with UK-language, now Im back to Norwegian, and I miss it!

Once Fitness+ was available in Norway, I started using it. Still using it, close to every day. Strength workouts, treadmill workouts (which are really, really good, must say), "Build-a-yoga-habit" and Meditation (small 5 minute when I arrive at the office each day). Blown away by how good it is

Idk but I feel I won the lottery Can’t wait to finally test it out in #Norway Will it be included in Apple One though?

Apple announces Fitness+ expansion to 28 markets with help from AI

@macrumors.bsky.social Apple could definitely get more revenue from Fitness+ if they simply opened the service to other countries with good English as 2nd language Like - Scandinavia would contribute to some subscribers!

However much I enjoy the Tech Brief Folio for my day to day business and travel, I can tell that I might be overloading it somewhat. Two laptops (one 14” MBP & one 13” HP), one 11” iPad, and a lot of chargers, wires and necessary accessories seem to “stretch” the fabric abit.

This is not a beautiful set up photo Its my gear after the security check at the airport Ive been using the Tech Brief Folio from @sfbags.bsky.social every day since I got it over a year ago Still amazes me how much I can fit in it - and it reduces time spent in the security check which is nice

The new change to Fitness is mind blowingly useful For setting up intervals, starting the workout, keeping track of intervals etc as a live activity Just a huge update

@chancemiller.me Got the new Ultra 3 Up from the Series 7 Now what? 🤩

@chancemiller.me Is this new in the RC 26? I’ve workout out throughout the beta cycle and newer seen this screen pop up. It’s even a live activity!

Doing something new - and trying out AppleTech while doing it. New Podcast just out. Be aware - its in Norwegian!

If AppleTv+ had a subscription for European Football, like Premier League, La Liga or the Norwegian Tippeligaen, I would not hesitate to watch it through AppleTv+. MLS - Im so jealous they have this option in the states. I just dont want to watch live matches at 02:00 AM local time.

New Siri mode (in the future, the rumour news wheel) is going to be really cool. Just don’t give this virtual assistant a face Keep the rainbow lines on the side Give me Jarvis - interrupt me in conversation in a polite way, as long as it’s good, and cool

In Latest @9to5mac.com podcast, they mentioned that Spotlight on MacOS26 Tahoe didnt work. This happened to me as well on the last Public Beta. Just updated to the latest public beta. I noticed that the Mac-storage has "no applications", which is why spotlight finds nothing. Its all "system data"

If apple CarPlay is going to be usable in EVs, we need more integration with range and preheating of the battery

Just read @9to5mac.com new article: 9to5mac.com/2025/07/18/a... At this point it's just clear how much better the service is in the English-speaking countries. Which is annoying, since plenty of other countries will do just FINE if some of the stuff has to be in english Take my Norwegian money🍎

@9to5mac.com Did you notice the small visual detail in Messenger dynamic backgrounds? How the background reacts to your reactions on messages? Or when the keyboard opens or closes? Like the ripple effect on the underwater background Is Just Beautiful

Apple Intelligence in shortcuts app Mindblowing But! And this is a big one Norwegian is not supported, so I have to jump some major hoops and use “dictate text” and run that through ChatGPT instead, and run that output to Apple Notes Not 100%, but it’s really cool

Audiomix just works Amazing Not 100% all the time, but its Beta 2

@sellverge.com Please - poke your contacts within Apple. We need more focus on using MacOs/iPad OS and the MPB/MacMini/iPad hardware for gaming and streaming. Using only one machine/device at a time Like the hardware is right there! Just let me route different audio sources to my stream!

Workout buddy on Apple Watch / iPhone accompanied me on my 5k today It gave me feedback, and then said “Keep pushing with this track from Jay-Z and Linkin Park” It was correct. Daym. Even got Norwegian songs correct! Interesting

Can we also be allowed to change the messages background (the home page for all the messages)? From black To something fancy #ios26

@9to5mac.com Is visual intelligence out there in the new beta? Like the screenshot-enhancement? Caaaaant find it

Why is workout buddy dependent on my iphone? I bought my Apple Watch with cellular capabilities for the exact purpose of leaving my phone home when I go for an outdoor workout…

The new OS´26 feels smooth across the board, apart from the occasional hiccups in a dev beta. Ive reported a few. All in all, Im so thrilled using my Apple Ecosystem across the board, from my MBP, through my iPadPro, iPhone, Apple Watch and back home to the Mac Mini. Splendid

I need a 1:1 session on this, please. How can I utilize this for my workflow, holy moly!

So new OS is finally here to test out Even though Apple intelligence is coming to Norwegian, I’m reluctant at this moment to swap from English I mean, I’ll be loosing Apple News And when will it be available for Norwegian even!??

“Shhh, I’m Talking to Myself” — that was the title of my NAFO 2025 pre-seminar talk. And yes, it was about rule-governed behavior (and some on private verbal behavior in general). Thank you to Erik Arntzen for the platform, and to the brilliant colleagues I met along the way.

I often listen to music while working. Sometimes, a song hits me The auditive stimuli provides SDs for some private verbal behavior and over operants that are NOT compatible with working In other words - sometimes listening to music interrupts my workflow, but I love it 🎧🎶❤️

Apple News with food recipes “This channel is not available in your country” I mean

Apple One is sooo underrated And if you implement it into a family plan, just wooow Tv+ Arcade Music Storage iCloud+ Lets have more please News+ Fitness+ Sports+

Camera control is amazing I use it so many times a day, and find it to be perfect for the alignment of my fingers on the Pro Max Action button is also used daily, bound to the Apple TV remote for my Apple TV and my LG TV connected to Apple Home Just S-tier from Apple and LG for the common user

New ambient music controls (Control Center) in 18.4 Beta First time trying them out Easy to use, fast, responsive and good output Just what I want from Apple

Just unboxed my #SecretLab chair The quality of the packaging is an experience of it self The chair is something Ive not experienced before Would recommend

BY THE WAY Dont forget you can copy something on your Mac And simply paste it on your iPhone Small things I forget I can do every single day

I had my first “meeting” using FaceTime Such a good experience (after my colleague figured out how to change mic-settings) 10/10 would recommend, I’d love to do it way more often Just one thing - a better chat please

I’m listening to the latest Apple Podcast A lot of talk about Apple intelligence not being ready, consumers have been lied to, product where never ready I’m not an average consumer, nor a tech geek But I’ve never felt lied to Apple intelligence is out, new Siri is not

Actually using the Camera Control a lot Wouldn’t want a phone without

Apple News+ Food launched “This is not available in your region” Just… let people be able to pay for and enjoy your services world wide Sports, Fitness+ and Apple News+ I want to experience them as well!

My Mac Mini M4 Pro goes into a Kernel Panic nearly each time it “sleeps” I work/game, then take a break and put the Mac to sleep I come back and it reports a Kernel Panic and I send the report off to Apple On the public beta Weird, huh?

Ive not been active in a while Sickness, and maybe in a way overwhelmed? Anyhow - back in action, and so is our office at home My wife painted, and now we have rearranged everything. Today our newly ordered Displates arrived, and I am blown away. Pictures incoming once they are mounted!

New fav exercise is Stiff Legged Deadlift Dropp the KGs, just stretch and proper form Actually looking forward to each rep

I’ve been using my Apple devices with UKenglish since 18.0 beta Im note sure I’ll go back to Norwegian Not unless we also get the News app And Sports And Fitness+ (Although I have not been able to fully test either of these three apps….) APPLE I WILL PAY FOR THESE APPS, even in English

Anyone out there who knows of a good place to get high quality wallpapers for my entire Apple ecosystem (except Apple TV) I would not mind paying Way to many shady sites out there

New bag is amazing I do a new sleek leather cover for my 14’ MacBook Pro M2 Pro The old foam stuff is just way to bulky

Raw unedited pictures of @sfbags.bsky.social Tech Folio Brief in action first day? Look no further Can fit everything I need in here
