Do you have the ability to write code for Apple platforms? Do you know what MDM / device management is? Do you understand what Compliance is? Do you care about being able to use a Mac or iPad or iPhone for work or school?

Does the idea of dealing with the bugs that can crop up from things like […]

Let us know whatchu thinkin’, the comments

@g huh, our wilfa caught the vapors after ~5 years and the innards are sealed behind safety screws and plastic melted sets, didn’t realize how disposable something this expensive could be

I appreciate that Musk ruined ‘first principles thinking’ way back when so that I can have a finely-tuned bullshit detector for corporations douchbaggery when they under-attribute luck and dedicated/talented employees as the source of their achievements/ success […]

Mis-read the handwritten ‘DECAF’ label on bag of coffee as ‘DGAF’

Apple messages blue bubble text with ‼️ reaction attached in response to the message ‘Can you bring back an ooni oven and mixer kthx’

Not never too early, start practicing your dad texts now

On re-reading this it says the suspension is ‘adjustable’ so maybe this is something I will actually be annoyed I can’t get over here anytime soon (if it even ships in the states)

Note to self: adding exponents to text (e.g. to the nth/squared/cubed/etc) with the built-in Apple character set on Mac may be most easily achieved by searching for superscript in character viewer (alongside emoji)

this app should’ve been a website

Sometimes it’s important to raise your voice - if this isn’t a semi-appropriate arms race for AGI and instead the Sora app thing will be for ads because this is the best version of a real business model they can come up with after shell games… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz0oQ0v0W10

Now THAT was a lot of effort for a Saturday #yamathon

Screenshot from section of Apple’s news app with the heading ‘Introducing Food’ and an article “Everything-but-the-Lunchbox Cookies’ with a picture of, apparently, ‘cookies’ drizzled with pretzels, potato chips and peanut butter and jelly because sure

I wasn’t sure which to go with: ‘eating the lunchbox would provide more sustenance’ or ‘introducing: food’ thanks ~obama~ Apple

Some folks would rather ~build an ark and gather two of every animal~ go into recovery and wipe their internal drive from disk utility and start over rather than ~go to therapy~ get a sysdiagnose #macadmins

The Japanese  news (lowercase n) sites I follow on here obvs get a lift from affiliate revenue with posts like these, but it’s fun to have them curate a totally random selection of thick mini hub/stand thingy’s… I’d just have to actually finally get me an M4 (which is a lot more appealing with […]

‘Education’ is a word, you don’t have to say ‘enablement’

@mikeymikey stronger, and faster, than ever before (how am I the first one to make that joke re: the sticker in this picture)

I liked their spatulas so much, I bought the company

Smiling Asian lady with weird veil+cap thingy and huge magsafe puck-ish charging cable

Product on couch, with“Bionic Massage Technology” label on charging/remote thingy, and some ‘USKI’ name with Chinese kanji instead of what is on the other Costco product shots

(That was from the online Japan Trend Shop I somehow ended up at, this is Costco Japan - it’s always a good sign when they don’t purge the Chinese branding from the promo shots for what over here is arrested as the “Niplax Pressurized & Heated Head Care, Chillmet”, Chill+helmet ofc)

New MFDoom clone just dropped

@SuspiciousPackage pardon the bother (if you’re being flooded by beta users), I’m seeing a crash on Tahoe (25A5316i) with this package when inspecting the payload: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dd-agent/datadog-agent-7-latest.dmg
Thanks as always!

DojaCat doing her best Sheila E impersonation backed by keytar should… actually be more impressive 😬

You don’t have to use ‘cohort’, group is also a word

Idea of thing to do with local model Apple is enabling as of 26, I’d like to ask fitness how many days I biked to the office this month

I wish iPadOS (26) had tooltips

Design is my passion

I think my entire way of operating and interacting with people at work can best be described by the line ‘you don’t come here for the huntin’
Wasted many years having it be more like reality TV show ‘I’m not here to make friends’
