Apple-Chef Tim Cook kündigt „große Woche“ an
Auf seinem X-Profil hat sich Apple-CEO Cook zur kommenden Woche mit neuen Geräten geäußert. Auch wann der „#AppleLaunch“ beginnt, ist nun klar.

I'm not an apple user but... Why doesn't apple have a printer? Could do a lot with it NGL... Could integrate with air drop and stuff.
#apple #printer #idea

You guys, I turned off Apple Intelligence on my phone, and holy fucking shit dictation has improved so dramatically it's actually an embarrassing comment on the state of whatever that product is.

Festplattenverschlüsselung FileVault: Apple umgeht BitLocker-„Falle“ in macOS 26
Microsoft wird kritisiert, weil der Konzern Behörden Zugriff auf die SSD-Verschlüsselung gibt. Apple hat das Problem in FileVault behoben – ab macOS 26 Tahoe.

The “incredibly great” #Apple Safari is not scrolling on NY Times Wirecutter pages.

„Komfort“ nennt Bastian Gruber das Apple-Ökosystem – und zerlegt es als strukturelle Abhängigkeit: alles hängt an der Apple-ID. Sein Gegenentwurf: Self-Hosting. Technisch machbar, aber komplex. Mein Fazit: Ohne einfache Migrationspfade bleibt das ein Nischenthema für Nerds und man kann nur Einzelteile raus lösen
#SelfHosting

Its time for all #iphone users to seriously consider moving out of the #Apple ecosystem.

RE: #MacAdmins !
#Apple

Are you like me and avoiding MacOS 26 Tahoe and iOS 26 like the plague?
Opt-in to the beta programs for each of the previous version in Settings > General. Your Mac and iPhone/iPad will stop asking you to upgrade to the latest versions and you'll automatically receive security updates for Sequoia and iOS 18, respectively. You're welcome.
#apple

RE: #Apple has left, but the whole thing with #Microsoft handing over BitLocker recovery keys to the FBI shows that these companies are not out for your best interests **AT ALL**. They will throw you under the bus in an instant if they can make a buck from it.

Looking forward to exploring the new on-line service from #Apple Computer

Is Apple going Adobe?
Say it isn't so!
Update:
It looks like they have gone to subscription model to access the “Pro” apps (FCP, Motion, Logic, Mainstage, Compressor, Pixelmator)
But the original “iWork" apps are still free. Pages, Keynote, Numbers (and by extension iMovie though it is not included in the "Creator Studio” presumably because it ships with every Mac)
That said... and yes... this is how they get you… the annual subscription for everything is "only” $180/yr or $18/mo plus Family Sharing privleges.
That goes down to $40/yr and $4/mo if you do the Educational license, but no family provisions.

I’ve been trying to incorporate Apple Shortcuts into my workflow. I’ve got a few useful things now but happy to hear any recommendations.
#apple #shortcuts

If your AirPods Pro 3 case drains battery like crazy: don't waste time tinkering around. This seems to be a known issue at Apple.
They swapped mine out without any fuss, no questions asked. Just hit up the Apple support and use your warranty. Clearly the way to go here.
#AirPods #Apple

You do know you can't copy an album title from #Apple Music, right?
How about the title of a podcast episode from the #Apple Podcasts app? Neah. Am I stupid or what?!? 🤯
This is #Apple software at its best.

#Apple und #KI: das tragische Paar. Siri vergisst Termine, Konkurrenten verbrennen Milliarden für schlaue Chatbots — und Apple verdient still an allem mit. 1 Mrd. Dollar dieses Jahr allein durch KI-Apps im App Store. Ist manchmal Nichtstun die klügste Strategie? (NZZ)

Flashback. I found a reminder of my July 2014 plan for a three-year transition away from Mac OS X.
From an October 2014 post:

＂… Safari … displays webpage titles in the URL bar …＂
#Apple #Safari

I regularly drag my feet on some upgrades, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. I'm using an iPhone 13 Mini because my tiny hands can't hold the giant phablets. And iOS 18.7.2, because I hate the AI junk crammed into everything and don't want nauseating translucent UI effects. But there's a lot of security bugs lately that might demand something to change. Uggghh.
I wish portable pocket computers were less capable and had more battery life.

Partying at the White House on Saturday night was unacceptable. I’m re-evaluating my relationship with my once-favorite corporation. Not that they’ll notice, but all subscriptions except minimal iCloud canceled. #apple

Apple is pushing Mac OS 15.7.4 to be even if I am on Mac OS 15.7.4 😂 #Apple

Here's two examples of running command line stuff on iOS via Apple Shortcuts and a-Shell.
One shows the uptime of my phone, the other runs a Python script and shows the output.

#Apple announced new #StudioDisplay monitors: 1700€ or 3500€ each.
Behold: they already include a stand this time. 🤣
I bought 2 27" 4K TFTs a couple of weeks ago. For 300€. In sum. Both.
I don't get Apple customers any more. 🤷

Guess what? Folder Automation using Shortcuts in Tahoe sounds amazing.
Indeed, the moment I wanted to do something really useful it stopped working. No errors. No logs. No feedback.
Does it sound like #Apple software quality? Yes, it does.

So cute… A collection of Lil Finder wallpapers

The 8 GB RAM might very well be the biggest downside of the Neo. But then, with current RAM prices, it also keeps the machine affordable.

Wow, so 1Password has increased its already expensive services. I have only used it for work/volunteer related stuff. I've been using Apple's Keychain and now Passwords App for years.
If you're on a Mac/iOS system and want to switch, 9to5 has a good run down on how to export your 1Password database and bring it into Passwords.
if you've never used a Password Manager, you really really should.

I am curious about Macbook Neo. Does Apple allow booting Linux off it just like their M-series lineup?
If so, can we use this as a base to find loophole into iPhones?

Die nächste Siri-Generation basiert auf Googles Gemini-Technologie, läuft aber laut Apple in der eigenen Private-Cloud-Infrastruktur. Apple verspricht: keine Datenweitergabe an Google, trotzdem große KI-Power. Ob das Vertrauen schafft oder nur gut klingt, bleibt offen.

Apple bestätigt: Siri mit Gemini wird Private-Cloud-basiert
Laut Apple-CEO Tim Cook wird die demnächst erwartete personalisierte Version des Sprachassistenten Siri wie vermutet in einer Private Cloud laufen. Damit will Apple seine hohen Datenschutzstandards weiterhin gewährleisten.

For the past years the #Apple app store landing page has constantly been an ad for some mobile game about kings and clans that only existed to get people to pay for in-app purchases.
Now, whenever I open the app store on my phone it's always AI crap: "Learn with ChatGPT". "Do more with Gemini".

If #Apple does not know how to implement push-based sync (aka automatic sync), which is obvious by now that they do not, at least the apps should provide a “Sync now" action.
I am staring at Journal app on the #macOS #Tahoe and it does not want to sync the latest entry from the iPhone even if that entry was created over 1 hour ago.

Apple OS 26.4 ist raus #apple #update #iphone #ipad

Spotlight on my #macos #Tahoe keeps crashing because it encounters some issue inside its index. A central piece of software crashes continuously at its own fault. Great exemple of resiliency in #Apple software.
Fear not. It’s not the only example. @… has a post with reports about Time Machine. That other central piece of macOS software.
Even if these issues are affecting a small number of customers, they reveal a critical lack of quality in the software Apple ships. Unfortunately with very few exceptions, Apple bloggers are afraid to report these issues knowing how vengeful Apple is and they’ll lose access to anything they built over years.

I cleaned up the old Apple keyboard (removed all keys, removed all crumbs, reassembled) and first, I’m surprised how much larger it is than the newer version…
Second, it’s so mushy. I can’t use it, it feels terrible to type on!
I’m going to try a Kisnt KN85 this week and we’ll see how that feels.

I'm kidding. There is absolutely NO SURPRISE that #Apple does NOT know, they absolutely do NOT know, how to implement push sync.

Is it just me or Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.4 keeps appearing as an update even if after I update? #Apple
Edit: Ok, so now that I have checked the build number, it does seem to be different build. What exactly are they patching? It has been like 3 or 4 at this point.

The latest Finder bug is that I have windows open that I can move around but can no longer select the files in the window. I also cannot close, or maximize or minimize the window.
I have four of them jammed into the lower edge of the screen for now until I reboot. (Current uptime is 22 days.)

I've been trying to figure out how to link to #Apple iOS Today list in Reminders.
There is no official information on this.
There are a few SO /SE posts about sometimes working, mostly not, old URLs

I just made a cool shortcut in Apple’s shortcut app on iPad!
When tapped on the Home Screen on an iPad or iPhone or an Apple Watch, it will message two people immediately.
Then it gives a choice of calling an ambulance (911) or not.
There is an “are you sure” before actually calling 911.
If no ambulance is required it sends a message just telling the people help is needed.
If it does call the ambulance it texts the people that too.
…. I have been playing with Apple scripting since old MacOS days. love that it lives on and just gets more powerful with all the apps that we can tap into now.
So easy! And doing things that can truly improve, even save, lives. This is what computers should do.

God I hate how much the 'recent' folder in Apple macOS has screwed up people's knowledge of where files are stored.
Most beginning to intermediate computer users have no idea where their files are, how to find them, or how to organize them.
Also, automatically forcing people to save onto the Cloud rather than their computers in a way that automatically limits their storage capacity and degrades their user experience is wrong.

I need help deciding between
- Evernote
- Keep It
- EagleFiler
It's a very difficult decision to make.
1. I’ve been using and paid for Evernote for years. It is available on all platforms. I am most probably using just a fraction of its features.
2. Keep It: seems to be an #Apple-centric solution. It’s still subscription based and doesn't save me very much compared to Evernote.
3. EagleFiler is #macOS only. Pay-and-own model (love it!)
