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

@christianselig I have it on a "fake" white silicone case so I'm unable to try (😅because apple stopped making white silicone cases for some reason). But I tried to place it 180 vertically and it's doing the same thing. It somehow sticks together if you place it a little further away from the magsafe though. But I think it's just sticking to some metalic parts around the magsafe on the iPhone... not sure. But anyways - it's weak and not strong enough to hold on it. Hope it makes sense 😅

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)

@christianselig I’ve had good luck with several items from Uni. Their products seem to be built well.

@christianselig I have used these as my long USB-C cables for a few years and they have been great

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?)

@christianselig there was a time, in the before times, when Xcode would build and run without the debugger by default, and everything was always instant 😌 But yeah it takes a lot to load up all the linked libraries in memory and get the debugger ready

@stroughtonsmith @christianselig but there was also a time after that, when Xcode run with the debugger by default and everything was also instant 😅

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

@christianselig Some time after the iPhone X Apple switched glass on most of their touchscreens to something that is more shatterproof but much easier to scratch. I had my X for 5 years with no scratches, the 14 Pro I have is already super scratched up :/. I'd rather the scratch resistance than being semi-drop-proof

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

@christianselig Are you running it to get the CPU and GPU temps up so it's warm and comfy? Or is the kitty needing it to cool down?

@TangoAndToys I think she just likes the feeling of the fan spinning haha

Override by "Map to local" and replace all "false" with "true".

Don't know which one is actually required. I just replaced everything with true, instead of doing them one at a time to find which set is the minimal needed change.

@christianselig It was super impressive… but… How useful can it be if you can’t trust what it tells you 😬

When we can start trusting the outputs more then this will become insanely useful 😳

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

@christianselig I’ve been using the 17L model of that bag for daily stuff and short work trips and I love it. It has all the high quality stuff I look for in the bag and my go-to recommendation for people now.

@christianselig Ah okay! Yeah my bad, I looked at the 30L 😂

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 crazy timing but Western Rise just launched a new Kickstarter today and their bag looks exactly like what you're looking for https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/westernrise-bags/voyager-travel-collection

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

Any recommendations for USB-C to C charging cables over 10 feet/3 meters long? USB 2.0 speeds are fine, no video transmission needed, just want 100W of power delivery and ideally not as thick as a garden hose

@mikerastiello Not over 10 feet unfortunately

Learning some basic 3D modeling has been such a fun hobby. Needed something to hold tennis balls since mine came in a cardboard box, so I quickly put together something fun 😊 https://makerworld.com/en/models/445402
