Good news, everyone!

I just received a phone call from an Apple representative. They confirmed that there was indeed a software bug in the bundle pricing calculation, which was fixed yesterday. They also said that affected developers, such as myself, would be compensated for our lost revenue.

That’s all I know for now. I was told that I would also be receiving a follow-up email later.

The conversation was pleasant, and the Apple representative was very nice about it.

Also, if you haven't seen Sneakers then for the love of all that's good please do. It's one of, if not the, best hacker movies ever made. With the exception of this device, it's so much more grounded in reality than other films. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sneakers

Working on a new Setec Astronomy device after my previous build got resin leaked on it. Going to go all out with a hinge and the internals, I also want to keep as much of the tape mechanism in places as I can so it looks more stock.

@tankgrrl Oh boy I can’t wait to see how this turns out! You have fiber optics for the interior? TOO MANY SECRETS

Kai Winn was a real piece of work.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@bigzaphod She sure was and Louise Fletcher was a perfect choice for the role. Winn has the classic quality of a great villain - Beleiving what she is doing is for the greater good not evil.

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@CStamp @bigzaphod Yep! Which probably means she was doing a great job. Winn had that perfect blend of arrogance, hypocrisy and duplicity that made her so despised. The way she talks to Kira and other characters like they are foolish children always made me so upset. Fletcher was just so good.

@CStamp @bigzaphod @steveshives Does his usual insightful job in this great essay on Louise Fletcher as Winn. Worth a watch when you have time. https://youtu.be/pyCNiYV5-b4

@ashkendo if I had told my 15-year-old self that roasted brussels sprouts would become one of my favorite vegetables of all time, I never would’ve believed it.

Y’all are doing a great job of making me not want to watch . If that’s what you were going for, bravo! 👏

@xAD I’ve seen nothing but negative reactions to the first 2 episodes here online. I know I have to make up my own mind but it’s def making me lower my expectations 😐

What I’d like from today’s Apple iPad event:

  • Camera on the long side of the iPad (where it belongs)
  • Longer battery life
  • Faster processor (duh)
  • To not have #LineaSketch Sherlocked 🙏

One of the biggest reasons I’m looking forward to my new iPad today is my almost 6 year old 3rd Gen iPad can’t hold a charge well any longer. I charge it to 100% and just after an hour of browsing news and watching YouTube in the AM it’s down to like 60%.

Haven’t wanted to replace the battery, just wanted a new, better iPad and now it’s finally here. Yay!! 👏👍

Current status.

First impressions: Yep, it’s defiantly thin. Feels impossibly thin actually. That being said it’s difficult to feel that it’s lighter. When I hold the old and the new together it’s hard to discern which is lighter. 🤷‍♂️

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@ashkendo Yeah.

@chartier I did not get the keyboard, just the pencil.

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@jackamick Nope. Just the pencil.

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

The new haptic feedback on the Apple Pencil Pro is really neat. It totally feels like you are physically squeezing a button but… there’s no button. 🥰👏

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@monorailtimes No, I don’t see that. Tried Notes and Mail nothing.

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

This is very cool. Cant wait to see how we can take advantage of the new Apple Pencil API’s in

Using the new Apple Pencil to bring up tap specific menus in Notes

And here’s the new barrel roll and faux reflection affordance of the new Apple Pencil tool in Freeform using the highlighter tool. Very cool! ✍️

The highlighter tool covers over the canvas, and the angle of the pent. Neb changes is as I roll it in my hands with the Apple Pencil.

@billvinson it’s certainly a valid point.

gedeonm,
@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

@billvinson it’s like anything else the more you do it the easier and the more used to it you get. It was weird for me at first too, but I’m way used to it now.

@gedeonm@mastodon.social avatar

Okay using the new iPad in a darkened room and I can really really see the difference in the screen. It’s super sharp and very vibrant. No variation in brightness across the entire screen either. I’m very impressed/ happy.
