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.

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.

RE: #Apple

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.

How about let’s not?

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

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 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.

I’ve turned off automatic updates on my Mac to ensure I don’t run into the same bullshit with the automatic iOS 26 update on the phone and I suggest you do the same.
Keep the security updates toggle on, though.
First time I’ve had to take such action in about two decades of owning a Mac.

If you're using a Mac, check out https://
github.com/unixorn/tumult.plugin.zsh
It's a collection of scripts I've accumulated over the years that lets you control some of your Mac's behavior from the CLI.
You don't need a ZSH framework to use it - the framework code just adds the repo's bin directory to your PATH automatically

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

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.

Anyone have any thoughts on why Apple Books is only downloading pages of a book AS I reach them? It's leading to a frustrating 7 second delay on the page appearing as it downloads individually!

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.

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

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.

#Apple has now officially crossed into #enshitification territory.

I need feedback from someone who's on iPad on whatever is the latest iOS 26 version: Did they bring back Split View to Fullscreen mode?
(I'm on iOS 18.0 since I use Split View and Slide Over)
I know they brought Slide Over back, but what about Split View? It's fucking dumb they removed it but I'm not updating without being sure lmao
#Apple

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 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

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

Does anyone here use either those rubbery Apple Pencil tips or a matte screen protector? I REALLY would love to use my iPad for art more, but find the slippery-ness of the screen difficult to deal with.
If I can make it feel more like the Wacom tablet I use, I will be happy.
Suggestions welcome!

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.
