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

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.

It's 2026 and Apple can't produce a browser that reliably shows its navigation and tab bars properly. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

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.)

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.

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 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?

Jippie, es war natürlich die Batterie auf dem Mainboard. Seit ich den Mac Mitte der 2.000er Jahre geschenkt bekam, ist das nun schon der zweite Batterietausch.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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.

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!

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.

You do know you can't copy an album title from #Apple Music, right?

„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.

Huh.
Not every day Apple releases a new line of hardware. Let alone a cheaper one.
Wonder if Keanu will do an ad spot for them. 😹

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!)

#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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

But we do have Liquid Ass… how about some more Liquid Ass instead?

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.
