I hope all #Apple bloggers to praise able for the incredible innovation they are showing by having “one of the 2 USB-C ports limited to USB 2.0" in a 2026 laptop selling for $600.

Wie es sich für jede ordentliche #Religion gehört, gibt es nun auch zum #Apple-Jubiläum Reliquien vom Messias zu kaufen:

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".

I am pleased to report that we discovered how to get the new version of the Knowledge App to work with Apple tv
I pulled the cable out of the box while it was still trying to download the app unsuccessfully. I waited a short while then plugged it back in and waited again until service was restored.
Bingo. The new app was downloaded in a few seconds and works perfectly
I should have tried that first!

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.

nice walk down memory lane. I believe my earliest experience with MacOS was System 7.5.3 so a little past the revelation of 7.0 but still far enough back that I remember stuff like Conflict Catcher, using AppleScript for everything, the controversy of Copland and the sad reign of Gil Amelio before Jobs returned.

„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.

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?

I open Apple Notes to look for my notes earlier today and **surprise**, it is not showing up.

#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)

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.

Today reminder that #Apple macOS Spotlight is a piece of shit.
1. I have disabled & deleted all indexes. Because they are broken.
2. Spotlight still shows some results. How? Where are they coming from?
3. I am fairly sure Spotlight auto-corrupts its own index when encountering some errors.
Last, good luck reporting this issue or getting any help on it.

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.

Plenty of bad and annoying things about Apple and iCloud in particular, but one good experience I've always had is if I buy something on the App Store or a subscription or anything through the Apple Store, and then ask for a refund within a few hours or days, they pretty much always refund it in full within 24 hours of the request.
It makes doing things like trying out a bit of software... realizing I don't like it or it doesn't do what I want... and ‘giving it back' much easier.

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!)

Bemerkenswerter Deal: Laut Google-Cloud-Chef Thomas Kurian im Handelsblatt läuft die neue Siri auf einem Gemini-Ableger — inklusive „Private Cloud Compute". Apple, dessen Markenkern Datenschutz ist, vertraut sensible Anfragen ausgerechnet einem direkten Konkurrenten an. Digitale Souveränität sieht eigentlich anders aus. #Handelsblatt

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.

Are there any smartwatches comparable to the Apple Watches out there (heart rate, physical exercise kilojoules counting, waterproof, cool watch faces, gay watchbands, plus maybe those heart illnesses detecting stuff, maybe blood oxygen and ecg too and maybe depth sensors for diving like the ultras if it’s not too much to ask) that either work independently from phones (no app needed) or at least work with an app that can be easily installed in any android device (more specifically that can work in an ungoogled Waydroid container on postmarketOS)?
I keep wondering what I’ll use instead of my Apple Watch if I move to a postmarketOS phone…
