Hey #Apple #MacAdmins - remember how getting warranty information via API via GSX is so challenging and requires a lot of hoops to jump through?

Apple fined $261,000 for poisoning people.

Attached: 1 image "Former Apple employee Ashley Gjøvik moved into one of the adjacent apartments in 2020 only to fall badly ill with indications of chemical poisoning, she told SFGATE. She didn't know what was happening at first, she said, but after she arrived she started suddenly having chest pains, strange rashes, arrhythmia and numbness. She regularly fainted. When she got her blood and urine tested that September, she said, the results showed arsenic, mercury, toluene and xylene." https:…

Benchmarking On-Device Machine Learning on Apple Silicon with MLX
The recent widespread adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) and machine learning in general has sparked research interest in exploring the possibilities of deploying these models on smaller devices such as laptops and mobile phones. This creates a need for frameworks and approaches that are capable of taking advantage of on-device hardware. The MLX framework was created to address this need. It is a framework optimized for machine learning (ML) computations on Apple silicon devices, facilita…

I need a recommendation for a new iPhone 16 case. The Apple Silicone case which I bought, and that I thought would last a decent wedge of time, only lasted 11 months before snapping at the USBC port.
The Apple Genius said that it wasn't covered by warranty, which didn't really impress me as I'm very careful with my phone. The Silicone is also peeling at the bottom.

20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple
Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and I have no recourse. Can you help? Email paris AT paris.id.au (and read on for the details). ❤️ Here’s how Apple “Permanently” locked my Apple ID. I am writing this as a desperate measure.

Saw someone post about how their #creditcard got stolen via #Apple pay twice, and #Apple won't inform them and how terrible this is and what a hassle it was dealing with the bank and how they hope it doesn't…

Dear #Apple. I am curious to know what the top priorities of the company is going forth. I ask because there are many of us who are confused about where this company is headed. We are concerned, as the more successful you have become, that more diluted your core mission has become. Example : Liquid Glass UI? really?

I do find value in Shazam when I go out. It's become one of the main ways I find new music.
It also links music to an experience for me, so if I discover something new when I'm in my happy place, like a coffee shop, I can re-live that moment when I listen again.
Currently, I'm listening to CloZee... I picked up a track (Revolution Sixis Remix) from this album yesterday. #Shazam #AppleMusic

Running iPadOS 26.2 Beta 3 on my Air. Enjoying Split View and Slide over modes.
It makes me wish that MacOS had a slide over mode where the window would remain pinned on top. This would be really useful for me! I'm sure I can get an app to add this, but I do like these things to be native if possible.

Just treated myself to an iPad Magic Keyboard.
I thought it was worth it to try to be more mobile, and break away from my WFH lifestyle. At least now I will be able to go out and work from coffee shops and shared spaces.
I wasn’t really interested in these until iPadOS26 was released, but now I think this, along with my Apple Pencil, makes my iPad as usable for most things I need.
