The one software tweak the iPhone Air needs
One trick doctors hate that will make your iPhone⦠Sorry. Iāve been loving my iPhone Air. A week in I think itās my favorite iPhone since the iPhone X. It has that indescribable feeling that the original MacBook Air had. That, āWow, computers can be like this?ā feeling thatās hard to quantify when youāre just looking at a spec sheet. Picking it up still makes me smile, and I love that the screen is bigger than any iPhone Iāve ever had, while the device overall feels smaller because itās so thin.

Okay, can someone tell me how on earth you get App Clips working via Local Experiences? I can just feel I'm doing something really dumb

App Clip Local Experiences have consumed my day
Okay, I have to be doing something astronomically stupid, right? This should be working? Iām playing around with an App Clip and want to just run it on the device as a test, but no matter how I set things up nothing ever works. If you see what Iām doing wrong let me know and Iāll update this, and hopefully we can save someone else in the future a few hours of banging their head!

The one where I get tired of existing GIF optimizers and make my own

High quality, low filesize GIFs
While the GIF format is a little on the older side, itās still a really handy format in 2025 for sharing short clips where an actual video file might have some compatibility issues. For instance, I find when you just want a short little video on your website, a GIF is still so handy versus a video, where some browsers will refuse to autoplay them, or seem like theyāll autoplay them fine until Low Battery Mode is activated, etc. With GIFs itās just⦠easy, and sometimes easy is nice. Theyāre super handy for showing a screen recording of a cool feature in your app, for instance.

A blog post detailing my attempts at fixing my spicy MacBook

You should repaste your MacBook (but don't)
My favorite memory of my M1 Pro MacBook Pro was the whole sensation of āholy crap, you never hear the fans in this thingā, which was very novel in 2021. Four years later, this MacBook Pro is still a delight. Itās the longest Iāve ever owned a laptop, and while Iād love to pick up the new M4 goodness, this dang thing still seems to just shrug at basically anything I throw at it. Video editing, code compiling, CAD models, the works. (My desire to update is helped though by the fact I got the 2TB SSD, 32GB RAM option, and upgrading to those on new MacBooks is still eye wateringly expensive.)
