I know people like to think iPadOS 'forked' from iOS when it was renamed a few years back, but it really didn’t. If you install Xcode, both iPhone and iPad simulators run out of the exact same OS root. It's the same set of apps, the same SpringBoard — it just decides which features you get at runtime based on screen size and a feature map. That's not a fork; the name essentially means nothing. A brand new $4,000 iPad runs the same OS as your six year old phone

A $3,000 Mac has the ability to run iPad apps. It shouldn’t be controversial to suggest that a $3,000 iPad should have the ability to run Mac apps

@robb out of curiosity, have you written somewhere about your blogging workflow since you started using 11ty?
Very curious how it's all stitched together👀

This is the hardest Ireland has Eurovision’d in a very long time, which is probably why it’s our best placement in 24 years 👏 Proud of how we chose to represent ourselves

People ask me, “How's your mental health doing at the moment, James?”.

I trust this answers the question.

A man shoots bananas out of his hands in VR. It’s unclear why.

5mm sounds very thin, but then again it does sound very Apple to shave a millimeter off of the iPad instead of doing a single thing to improve the software 😜 https://9to5mac.com/2024/02/20/larger-ipad-air-thinner-ipad-pro/

Looking through my collection of old iPhone cases, the camera cutouts look comically small when compared to the current device.

If you have a beard and do not, while trimming it, attempt to pull off at least one style of facial hair from Deadwood, I don’t know, what are we even doing here, man?

Now you've seen the engine, here's what they've been making with it behind closed doors all these years:

Star Citizen's singleplayer campaign, Squadron 42, is 'feature complete’. It's actually happening!

I have spent the night in the Miami airport because of a flight delay.

I’m currently waiting at Starbucks which is playing Christmas music.

What’s is happening.

Cons: I have to edit 37k words + prepare extras in 7 days and I've been running on 4/5 hours of sleep for two weeks

Pros: I have Starfield + Pokémon DLC as soon as I'm done

One of the many mysteries of HomeKit, still not fixed in iOS 17:

I have a water control device for my irrigation system. I can activate it just fine from the Home app or Control Center.

However, the device cannot be added to a scene, automation, or controlled from Shortcuts.

This doesn't make any sense.

@imyke it has reached you by now I bet, but just in case:
Regarding your dropbox problems, have you tried a different client like https://maestral.app ?
Maybe it's more reliable for you

It’s one thing to be skeptical about a new social network, especially from Meta. But the visceral reaction that some people on Mastodon are having to Threads is just bizarre. It’s not constructive criticism, it’s just hate.

Sometimes it feels like there’s a certain crowd of people on Mastodon that just …hates fun? I don’t get it. No one is taking Mastodon away from you.

@ivory is there some way to save images in the mac client to the downloads folder instead of the photo library?
And if not, could we maybe get that in a future update?🙂

The MacBook is at the local delivery centre. Will it come today, two days early? Let’s find out.
