mmmm, getting stuck at the airport because my passport is activation locked ✨

travel requires so many ports... passports, ports of entry, airports, ...

ah, damnit, I dorked the repo again by accident :/

Would that be 'slop'-slop then? 🤔

IIRC I once had one where I instead had to type the last four digits of the phone number that called me—maybe cheaper than picking up?

the last straw(berry)

(I forgot to buy groceries)

At Ultra plus, Apple physically ships you a crucible of Liquid Glass 👌 (use it quickly before it stops being liquid)

Been playing with the iOS 26 beta for a bit now—generally really positive impressions, and I *love* the return of the Safari redesign they first had in iOS 15 beta 1 ❤️

if a store does loss prevention it's perfectly okay but if i do loss prevention i get banned by valve anticheat

Feel free to DM me :)

TIL :O Is there any public research into this? Either *I* suck at googling, or Google sucks at _googling_, but I can't find much of anything about the PS dashboard....

MacOS file inspection dialog, showing a disk image with 8.8TB of size, and 2.38GB on disk size.

MacOS file inspection dialog showing a 9.32TB Library folder, with 243GB on disk used.

Apple's default handling of sparse images is pretty weird... Finder shows the size of the disk image by default, instead of the actual size on disk, so you end up with an 8TB file somewhere, which screws up the size everywhere up the directories...

Why does Google think it's appropriate to keep creating a useless Google Drive shortcut in my home directory? The fact that it creates it at all is already annoying, but how the fuck is it not possible to disable this? And why does Google think that re-creating it time and again is desired behavior?

This goes _especially_ for AppStore apps. Why do these need to download Universal versions? How many users want to run them using Rosetta (for compat reasons?) that it justifies wasting the space for everyone?

Two MacOS file inspector dialogs side by side. Telegram Universal on the left is 175MB, Telegram ARM only on the right is 81MB.

Looking at my MacOS app list, there's a lot of Universal Apps there... Kind of makes me wish more devs offered ARM-only versions directly, because the wasted storage does add up...

And their players almost universally suck 🤮 have yet to meet one that doesn’t get screwed up when skipping around too fast on my PC

Wait until you get to the T9 transfer area and it’s just millenials typing on Nokia phones😛

Mew-table? ^.^

Probably up there with immutable/mutable when it comes to confusing terms 😅

You'll be a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

B̶a̶l̶a̶t̶r̶o̶ Ballaststoffe!

And the most annoying part is seeing them cram these annoying "Apple Intelligence"-vapor ware talking points into every product launch. Why is any company that advertises anything "AI" related always so goddamn obnoxious about it? Gives me yucky crypto-scam vibes.

Or, when I try to skip a few tracks ahead while on a bike (so I can't do it on the phone): Surely I want navigation directions to a company called NexTrack in India! That seems reasonable! I don't see how you can fix this, because there's evidently no proper engineering culture in this org.

We're talking about the digital assistant that will

- misunderstand requests
- performs zero sanity checks
- executes nonsensical commands without feedback

...such as accepting any (unrealistic) number as requested temperature for my thermostats. 10000°C? Sure, coming right up.

All the Apple Intelligence/Siri delay talk is so funny to me, because there hasn't been any point in the past decade where Siri has worked reliably for even the most narrow-scoped requests--but now all the sudden the lack of reliability is an issue?😂

The best type of HDR (content) is when you don't even really notice it right away IMO. I don't like it when it's just "hur dur your screen is now a flashlight" 🫠

Well, that was an election night... Still holding my breath on whether the BSW party makes the 5% hurdle-- if they do, that will make coalitions very hard/unstable :/

At long last people know the truth though. About time the record was set straight. 🤗♥️

Sorry, I was curious 🫠

Goodnotes is really getting more and more annoying….
