I think the random capitalization problem has gotten much better in iOS 26, or one of its minor releases (I recall in the 26.0 beta it was still there). I would have sworn before t…

Most people think of the brushed metal, but I've always liked the iTunes 10 dalliance with vertical window controls as a good example of this.

Do you have any specific tooling for querying all three at once beyond just copy paste?

The idea of any official Apple presentation today beginning with a humorous rendition of _God Save the Queen_ is so absurd I can't help but smile at what we've lost.

Don't forget CI/CD farms for iOS builds, although I think it's much more cost effective to just make Minis or Studios work, despite their nonstandard formfactor

Even within Apple's platforms, there's pretty limited support for automation -- you can say "Siri find my keys" but there's no App Intents / Shortcuts support for automating anythi…

I was thinking their version might be making the Apple logo itself t beinghe [overly] touch sensitive power button, like the Cube.

I believe build-to-order upgrades are also discounted, so it may not be a fixed discount.

Julia Evans wrote a nice blog post about this recently, in that sometimes it's helpful to think commits as snapshots and sometimes as diffs. https://jvns.ca/blog/2024/01/05/do-we-t…

I just discovered this today, but if you whisper to your Echo, it will skip all of the "by the way" BS (it will also reply in a whisper, which is kind of creepy, but you win some, …

I've used a Thunderbolt cable as well successfully, but one note is that they're very picky about which port you use. On my Mac mini, I had to use the exact port outlined here or i…

Funnily enough (re GP), apparently Stage Manager was actually originally prototyped in the OS X days (2006). https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/stage-manager-was-a-thi...

My fuzzy recollection was that the OS X version of Flash was much worse than the Windows version. Given "Thoughts on Flash" and the direction of the iPhone, this ended up being ver…
