Dear #Apple
have you not heard of Buses as transportation? Public Transit?
https://maps.apple.com/
jeez!

I open Apple Notes to look for my notes earlier today and **surprise**, it is not showing up.
I'm kidding. There is absolutely NO SURPRISE that #Apple does NOT know, they absolutely do NOT know, how to implement push sync.
But we can continue to have huge expectations for #Apple AI.

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.

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.

How did #apple manage to fall off so far from the Tree planted by Steve Jobs, in such a short time?

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

#Apple‘s way of reminding everybody to pay #Patreon creators directly on the website and to use the app only to access content.

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.

#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. 🤷

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 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!)

In a world with kings, our only agency is to beg “please, sir, be kind.”

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.

So, here in the UK, I just updated my iPhone to 26.4 Beta, and it asked for my credit card for age verification.
It's coming for us all.
#AgeVerification #Apple

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.

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

Morning!
How is *everyone*?
I've gone back to light mode for my tech stuff... I was finding dark mode a bit opressive 😅
I finally bought a new phone case as rawdogging it without one (after the silicone fail) was causing me deep anxiety.
Also, now using notbor.ing Weather app using accuweather as a source as Apple Weather was consistently incorrect for my location. #Apple #iPhone #DarkMode #LightMode #Weather #App

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

Well, it turns out Apple would love to sell you a case for your iPad. At a very reasonable price of EIGHTY POUNDS!!! WTAF? #apple #ripoff #scam

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.

Keep the security updates toggle on, though.

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.

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.

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.

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.
