RE: https://mastodon.social/@kepano/115777884411876491 HUGE improvements here, this was my #1 gripe with the mobile app so hats off to @kepano for this update!

They should’ve called it the Snooper Bowl Halftime Show

RE: https://masto.es/@FediTree/115782038998422793 Not mad about this tbh

@FediTree 🎄

The fact that my iPhone 16 Pro Max overheats like crazy when I just take a bunch of pictures is infuriating

Me, rocking a 2019 Intel MBP that has zero Liquid Glass because it isn’t compatible with macOS 26

I’m a pretty clumsy person, which means I drop things fairly often. Ironically, this gives me lots of practice catching falling objects So now, fairly often, I drop something and then catch it before it hits the ground. Which makes me look like some kind of ninja

I’m rapidly adopting the opinion that there’s a real ceiling on the size of a viable smart home Automating a 1 bedroom apartment is a tractable problem. Automating a two story house just might not be feasible

I’ve watched this at least 20 times today 😂 https://youtube.com/shorts/QT5bCzMZijw?si=aQleMujNBvikTmcK I also like that “the Devil” is wearing a Toon Squad jersey, which implies that the Tasmanian Devil from Loony Toons is also the Devil from the Bible

Does anyone have any good resources about parenting and mental health? Real talk is that I’ve been struggling to find a balance lately and I’m trying to find something new to try

Just heard an ad for T-Mobile that said you could switch to T-Mobile on your phone in just 15 minutes, and I guess with eSIMs you really can just do that. At home. That’s wild to me

RE: https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115741419685584140 If you weren’t aware, VSCodium is a thing, and it’s VSCode without any of the Microsoft nonsense (think Chrome vs. Chromium)

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@jsnell/115737422192517961 If this is intentional it’s pretty crappy

I just said “hey cutie” to my kid and Siri said “mmhmm?”

Whoa this is crazy. Guess now’s as good a time as any to flash my Roomba and make it local only, been wanting to try that anyway https://nondeterministic.computer/@mjg59/115721363297365912

RE: https://mstdn.social/@ElleGray/115572760431505814 “The Power of Christmas” coming this fall to Hallmark Channel

@imdavidpierce I am listening to your State of the Workflow episode, and I agree that Siri’s integration with Apple Reminders makes it basically a must use. May I recommend GoodTask? It’s a great app that uses Apple reminders as a back end, so you get all the benefits and don’t have to use […]

I refer to the machine that prints paper documents as my “2D printer” https://www.threads.com/@simoncholland/post/DSOlJdVDTwQ

RE: https://social.lol/@njf/115723903009367185 In an attempt to capture clean logs (thanks for the great idea @jsbilsbrough), I put everything exactly the way it was originally and power cycled all the equipment one more time. And now everything is working the way it was before which just […]

I'm having networking problems, and I'm terrible at it, so I'm going to just dump a long thread of my problem and if anyone has suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise just scroll past and sorry for the timeline clutter 🧵

RE: https://indieweb.social/@kraft/115714268486531602 This, but also there’s a chance that it ends up like Alexa: useful for a few specific things which aren’t profitable

I so desperately miss crafting long-form communication. I miss blogging, and I miss when I would teach Bible stories in the kid’s service of my old church. I need an outlet for this again…

RE: https://mastodon.social/@BenRiceM/115711591222321851 I bought a Mac Mini last year just to ensure that I have purely local copies of all my iCloud Photos because I’m terrified this could happen to me

Doing battle with my worst nemesis today (My worst nemesis is computer networking)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bigzaphod/115697520079459583 This happens to me on iOS too. The fact that the liquid glass itself is tappable outside of the button is absolutely infuriating

Okay, Synology Drive Client for Mac sucks. What is everyone using to back up their machines to their NAS?

EASILY the most inspiring song I’ve heard in years is Oldies Startion by Twenty One Pilots

Actually, there are no gifts. And this is not an airport.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@markgurman/115673728713223104 Now THIS would be bad for Apple. Very bad. Starting to look like a sinking ship over there

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Sarahp/115669120199670088 All your lifestreams are belong to Zuck @siracusa

RE: https://mastodon.design/@keir/115662850314403987 Like I said, I’ve pretty much given up on Apple’s design under current leadership 🙃

Re: Alan Dye leaving I had actually just about written off the fact that Apple software used to be the best designed, and that it was now basically just the least-bad option Hearing that a true interface designer, not just a designer, is taking over is actually so exciting (Also, obviously […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/115662678029883897 1. Bluey is the best children’s show rn, full stop. 2. I am so excited to show my kid all my favorite old shows 😍

RE: https://zeppelin.flights/@sixcolors/115657740018101535 “Apple also confirmed to Bloomberg that his replacement is Stephen Lemay, who has been at Apple since 1999 and is a software designer by trade. The people I know at Apple speak of Lemay highly.”

RE: https://mastodon.social/@markgurman/115657311502006405 “Big loss for Apple” HAHAHAHA yeah no

Who is writing movie descriptions for Disney+? The one for Toy Story 3 isn’t technically wrong, but it’s not very descriptive. The one for Toy Story 4 means literally nothing. Super weird

Apropo of nothing, here’s a thing I made tonight #GameChanger

I don’t often watch movies, I feel that it’s hard to find the time to sit down and watch the whole thing Well I’m off this week and have you guys watched movies? Cause holy crap movies RULE

The Dunkin’ Donuts -> Dunkin’ rebrand is going great

Every time Elon tries to influence Grok he gets monkey’s paw’d so hard and it’s hysterical

The rarest of all Apple collector items, right up there with the famous pizza box: the official Apple Park apple pie is on sale every year before the holidays. It’s made from Apple Park apples. Stocks last about 20 seconds.

Ya love to see it https://duck.haus/@powerllama/115584267690325172

Holy crap I completely missed this, there was an ARG revealing the existence of Samalamadingdong before it even came out: https://youtu.be/dxWzGcISB0I?si=Wx0EmqrKMfXOGoX8

On iOS 26.1, my iPhone 16 Pro Max, the best iPhone Apple ever made until just a few months ago, consistently drops frames in all animations if the phone is in low power mode 🤮

“Generative AI bubble,” sure. Machine learning has and will continue to be incredibly useful, but that’s not at all what this bubble is made of https://mastodon.social/@Sarahp/115572967689096584

Literally posted about this yesterday https://icosahedron.website/@photex/115524195536240355

I also want to migrate the remains of my defunct Wordpress blog to my omg.lol address before WP renews next summer. I am going to hold onto my domain name, so really not much will change there

I just canceled auto-renew on my Apple developer account. It makes me sad, because I loved developing my two apps, but I haven’t found the time to update them in 5 years. And in that time I’ve paid Apple $500 to keep them languishing in the store. Time to let it go 😔
