Apple is pushing Mac OS 15.7.4 to be even if I am on Mac OS 15.7.4 😂 #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.

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.

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?

Thanks #apple, loving that my iphone is so sandboxed that my only recourse for fixing this is a factory reset

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. 🤷

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.

Second, it’s so mushy. I can’t use it, it feels terrible to type on!

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.
#apple #shortcut #app #automation

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".

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.

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.

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 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!)

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.

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.

#Apple is a leader in AI.

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.
