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

@bigzaphod Holy crap, I really need to do this!

@HilliTech Oooo, perfect! Thank you! None of them seem to have the "neck" part that MagSafe stickers have though, do they?

@brennansv ah thank you! So sticky side up?

@nor could you elaborate on that last sentence?

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@d4v what if you flip them over? If not possible, what if you flip the phone 180° vertically?

@nor Ah yeah gotcha!

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)

@rvkennedy I'm not sure I get the reference ;_;

Which comes first… async or throws? try or await?

I always get these wrong no matter which order I attempt first.

It's like a USB-A plug!

Does this make Swift USB-compatible?

@bigzaphod It's alphabetical except when it isn’t

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?)

@stroughtonsmith Ooo, that's a good tip, thank you! So do you figure all that time is attaching the debugger?

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

For the "don't use a screen protector crowd", on one of my iPads I don't, and now it has a little scratch on the screen that makes my brain cry every time the pencil snags on it when drawing. I can't live that life ;_;

@michael Works great for drawing but the colors look so much worse for watching video and whatnot

@christianselig What size iPad Pro is going to be in your procession tomorrow?

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@jeffkibuule I'm not upgrading :( My 12.9” last gen still feels like a beast

@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@jeffkibuule When I was building out Apollo's iPad app I ended up slowly acquiring the mini, the 11", and the 12.9”, so I have kind of a silly setup now where I just choose the best one for the task. Each one is so great in its own way!

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

@jdechko somewhere in my long winded article I mention that I think haha

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@Porgey the 30L one? Yeah a bit on the small side unfortunately, looking for right around 40L but under 3.5 lb

Choosing a travel backpack is really hard, and I still haven't found one I love, so mostly for my own reference I wrote a long post with thoughts on pretty much every travel backpack out there https://christianselig.com/2024/04/choosing-a-backpack-is-hard/

If you have other recommendations gimme

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@davidolrik Love it, but no water bottle holder is an immediate no go for me ;_;

christianselig,
@christianselig@mastodon.social avatar

@joshwayne I love Western Rise's stuff. But no stowable straps, and the water bottle holder looks weird
