This is what a lot of people miss. People think, "Oh we won't need software soon, AI can just build interfaces when we need them" but in reality, the software was built to solve a …

Flight Control was one of my favorite iOS games of all time. Simple, polished, quick to play. Sucks that there is no way to play it on iOS again, seems it is still available for pu…

Planes? Trains? If you haven't used these motion dots, they actually do work wonders. My wife gets motion sickness and could barely ever look at her phone when riding as a passenge…

I always wanted a pixelbook as I loved the hardware design and the taller aspect ratio screen, it was just too expensive for me to spend on a chromebook only laptop. IMO it looked …

The Mac Studio's disappearance is related to the fact that people now want them for the purpose of running local models. Supply and demand. That plus Apple doesn't shift prices for…

I think reading is the difference. People didn’t whip out a newspaper when they had less than 30 seconds available. The smartphone has filled these gaps with an infinite amount of …

Yeah - similar thing for me as well. A lot of times there would be something I want to work on that would be boilerplate/repetitive/laborious work and I would just procrastinate it…

Just anecdotal, but I was using Claude Code for everything a few months ago, and it seemed great. Now, it is making a ton of mistakes, doing the wrong thing, misunderstanding conte…

Interestingly, Apple's newest and cheapest laptop (the Neo) is super repairable. And even the keyboard is finally replaceable without having to replace the entire top case. Hopeful…

The location tracking code is within the OneSignal SDK - which is just a standard messaging platform for sending emails/push messages to users. It doesn't have some magical permiss…

I think the best example is in iOS. On old iOS versions, the keyboard responsiveness took precedence over everything, no matter what. If you touched the keyboard, it would respond …

Yeah, agreed. Gatekeeper is nearly 15 years old now, and has progressively gotten more aggressive, but AFAIK there isn't much new in the past year or two. macOS 26 is bad, but so i…

Same here, got started via the TI-83+ manual, started out building simple menu based games & homework helpers. Eventually moved on to learn z80 assembly and build a few simple game…

It's a really strange update. Necessary, as the cheaper & smaller AirPods Pro had all these features for a while now. But there aren't even new colors - the colors were released in…

> I do find it interesting that people don't mind AI content, as long it's "their AI." The moment someone thinks it's someone else's AI output, the reaction is visceral. Somehow no…

Neo and Air are quite simple when looking at it from the bottom up. Air is the "nice" Neo for basically $500 more. Backlit keyboard, MagSafe, Thunderbolt 4, M5, way faster SSD spee…

In addition to your research categories - is the fan going to sound like a jet engine when just opening slack? Is the case going to wobble and creak after a few weeks? Is it going …

Yeah - the sleep/wake one is crazy to me. I have had numerous mac's and windows machines over the last 20 years as well and Sleep/Wake has been perfectly consistent on the mac. In …

I’ve been experimenting with a 13” iPad Pro and Mac mini, setup with Tailscale. I love it, minus the general issues you run into with Remote Desktop. That plus not being able to de…

Same. Plus with multi-user, I would own multiple size iPads since they instantly become more useful as shared family devices, rather than only being tied to one persons iCloud/mess…

A few iOS apps I’m working on: - Daylight Goals ( https://daylightgoals.com ) - I’m releasing a major update later this month, it is an app built around pushing you to spend more t…

Hmm, you could probably setup ad hoc builds and send them off to Firebase App Distribution or a similar service and get them a bit faster. Still pretty cumbersome but it skips the …

In this case you are spot on, the landing page is AI generated, just because I've never enjoyed doing front-end web development myself. That plus this app is very deeply rooted in …

Thanks! I'm looking into Vitamin D estimation for a future version, the main issue is there are a ton of factors that need to be considered, the main one is simply how much skin yo…
