Das iPhone wird teurer. Nicht weil Apple mehr verdienen will — natürlich nicht. Sondern weil KI-Rechenzentren die Speicherchips wegfressen. Tim Cook nennt das „unvermeidlich". Man könnte es auch schlicht Kollateralschaden der KI-Euphorie nennen. @… #Apple

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

Today reminder that #Apple macOS Spotlight is a piece of shit.
1. I have disabled & deleted all indexes. Because they are broken.
2. Spotlight still shows some results. How? Where are they coming from?
3. I am fairly sure Spotlight auto-corrupts its own index when encountering some errors.
Last, good luck reporting this issue or getting any help on it.
IDK if it's just #WatchOS27 Beta issues, but even in low-powered mode, the battery on my #Apple Watch Series 9 is barely lasting a day.
Checked the battery health on it, and it's down to 84% 😬
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.)

nice walk down memory lane. I believe my earliest experience with MacOS was System 7.5.3 so a little past the revelation of 7.0 but still far enough back that I remember stuff like Conflict Catcher, using AppleScript for everything, the controversy of Copland and the sad reign of Gil Amelio before Jobs returned.

Another day, another annoying #Apple bug. My Apple Watch running 26.5 is unable to clear the notification stack. That's, like, not annoying at all. Not even one bit. I suppose it beats my older Apple Watch with zero apps installed and no media transferred (and a recent complete reset) which keeps saying I need to uninstall applications to install an update. Can I have a nice Linux watch wit…

Okay, schon wild das Apple jetzt den 256GB Base MacMini M4 nicht mehr anbieten. Damit ist der beste non-Laptop Deal nicht mehr ganz so attraktiv.
Oder halt schnell noch im Abverkauf bei den Händlern hamstern. #apple
Even as someone who has only ever used SwiftUI (not AppKit or UIKit) as my primary macOS/iOS dev toolkit, this article rings so true.
There's a whole bunch of stuff that #Apple could fix, pretty easily, and they just… haven’t. It's sad.
A big part of what keeps me on macOS is the platform itself—letting everything become mushy web-pages-pretending-to-be-apps makes it much easier to en…
Apple ist 50 — herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich hätte ja ein Geschenk mitgebracht, aber irgendwie zahle ich ja schon seit Jahren regelmäßig: iPhone, MacBook, HomePod, iCloud, Apple Music, und ohne laufen Heizung, Strom und Auto nicht. Ich bin wohl im Goldenen Käfig . #60Sekunden #Apple
That made me check my Apple Watch model (couldn't remember). Turns out I have a series 7, bought in 2021. It's 5 years old. I had no idea, I still thought of it as "almost new"

RE: #Apple fixed this issue!
Not a surprise, but now it is determined.

Plenty of bad and annoying things about Apple and iCloud in particular, but one good experience I've always had is if I buy something on the App Store or a subscription or anything through the Apple Store, and then ask for a refund within a few hours or days, they pretty much always refund it in full within 24 hours of the request.
It makes doing things like trying out a bit of software... realizing I don't like it or it doesn't do what I want... and ‘giving it back' much easier.

Wow. Wanted to update the OS on my old iPad Mini running 26.4.2. Pressing the update button brings up the familiar "enter your code" window, but... no keyboard. I tried force quitting Settings and a full reboot, but nope... no way to enter the code to update from this OS. Bravo, #Apple
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!

Bemerkenswerter Deal: Laut Google-Cloud-Chef Thomas Kurian im Handelsblatt läuft die neue Siri auf einem Gemini-Ableger — inklusive „Private Cloud Compute". Apple, dessen Markenkern Datenschutz ist, vertraut sensible Anfragen ausgerechnet einem direkten Konkurrenten an. Digitale Souveränität sieht eigentlich anders aus. #Handelsblatt
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.

„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. Mein Fazit: Ohne einfache Migrationspfade bleibt das ein Nischenthema für Nerds und man kann nur Einzelteile raus lösen

Also macht #Apple ja jetzt Gemini überall rein und dann wird das alles in Ordnung kommen.

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 keep wondering what I’ll use instead of my Apple Watch if I move to a postmarketOS phone…
