The price difference to go from an 83 inch OLED to an 88 inch is just bonkers

I am dying to know what the Vision Pro does while it's off because that thing chews through standby battery life like nothing else

Anyone have Mac software recommendations for an app where I could draw a rectangle or shape with specific dimensions (say, 20 inch by 20 inch), and then allow me to print that, flowing it across multiple pages if needed?

The Ally X looks pretty dope but how are we still doing non-OLED screens? Thought the Steamdeck and Switch made that a baseline expectation at least as an option

TIL USB-C trigger boards are a thing 🤯

I can finally charge up my Jackery external battery thingy with just a USB-C charger, instead of needing its bulky AC power brick (just modified its 12V car charger with the trigger board)

Random SwiftUI question: is there a way to force SwiftUI's TabView to create all its views' bodies immediately? Say tab 3 kicks off a network request when a subview is created and it'd be great if it started immediately

In UIKitLand loadViewIfNeeded() worked well for this, but I can't figure out how to get SwiftUI to create the view

I could manually cycle between them (and it persists obviously), but that feels hacky

Other visionOS/SwiftUI/WebKit question: anyone know why if I move my WKWebView from my view to my model (instead of the view, for more control), if it's ever re-used in another window (after its original window closes), it loses all interactivity?

Video of a WebView being opened in visionOS, and then closed, and then re-opened, and it’s suddenly not interactable

With the release of that Daylight tablet hopefully we're only a few years off a really good, affordable e-ink style monitor for doing some coding outside

I think my biggest Vision Pro quality of life feature would be that when using the Mac Virtual Display thingy the audio should come through my headset not my Mac's speakers

It's kinda wild seeing the scales tip so far that even the Tesla subreddit now hates Elon

Is it a visionOS bug or a me bug that if you disable a button in a navigation bar it gains a weird hover state? If me, how do you fix it?

SwiftUI noob question: I understand why my ViewModel is being initialized twice, but why is it not being deinitialized?

It's created, then a second later when appState.show is changed, the view is recomputed, and view, and its ViewModel, are created anew. Cool! But why is the old one not deinitialized? What's holding onto it?

iPhone 15 Pro’s been my best battery performer by a mile, damn. All MagSafe charging too pretty much

christianselig, 22 days ago to random

Dumb question, but if I bought one of those "MagSafe stickers" on Amazon, that are traditionally used to give an Android phone MagSafe-like-stickiness, could I instead use it in reverse, and stick it to a non-MagSafe accessory so it would stick to my iPhone?

For instance, say I want to stick it to a banana so the banana magnets to my phone

Update on long USB-C cable journey: bought this 15-foot one per recommendations and it's been awesome, not too thick, charges great (only loses 3W versus a 3 ft cable when charging at 100W)

Does launching a build with the debugger attached on Vision Pro take forever for anyone else? It's near instant on the simulator, but even after the data is transferred to the device, the actual launch screen hangs out for like 10 seconds (so I don't think dev strap would help?)

After drawing on my iPad screen for years and getting jittery lines, this video and the fact it was my screen protector blew my mind. Is there a screen protector that doesn't do this? And isn't matte, because despite drawing nice those destroy the colors

That ChatGPT voice demo was just bonkers

The wildest bag someone recommended from this post is the TomToc Navigator. It's 40L, but only weighs 2.8 lb, has water bottle holders, compression straps, great laptop/iPad compartment, and one massive clamshell bucket for clothes. And it's only $80, which concerningly cheap

If they used X-Pac or a nicer material it could be even lighter and more durable, add in stowable straps, would be an absolute slam dunk
