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.

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.

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.

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.

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?!? 🤯

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.

„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.

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.

I bought 2 27" 4K TFTs a couple of weeks ago. For 300€. In sum. Both.
I don't get Apple customers any more. 🤷

Dear #Apple
have you not heard of Buses as transportation? Public Transit?

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?

#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)

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.

Tim Cook hat offenbar seinen Frühjahrsputz gemacht und dabei eine ganze Menge neuer Produkte gefunden. 🧹😄

50 Years of Thinking Different
Read a letter from CEO Tim Cook as he reflects on 50 Years of Apple.

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".

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

That's neat.

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.

I'm really liking MacDown 3000 for editing and viewing Markdown files on macOS. Especially the ability to customize the style sheets.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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!)
