My Apple Card is expiring this summer, and the replacement physical card arrived in the mail today. Activating was super-duper easy—just bring it in close proximity to your iPhone and tap a button or two on screen. Done.

But what do I do with the old card? It's titanium so it's not easily destroyed.

I've had metal Amex cards since 2010 or so. When Amex sends a replacement card, they include a return envelope custom made for mailing them your expired card for recycling.

And now begins the development thread for my citation creation app, Citations on visionOS! It doesn't look very good now and needs a lot of work, but we'll get there!

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?

I hate this. Looks really good on macOS but terrible on iOS.

I wrapped the form in a VStack with the tip view and because of the way macOS renders forms it looks pretty good, but iOS does it differently and now I have to figure out a different solution.

Citations with a tip showing on macOS. It looks good.

Update: AI will not be a topic at next week’s Apple event. Turns out the paraphrased quote from CNBC was inaccurately characterized. https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/02/tim-cook-confirms-apple-will-discuss-big-plans-for-ai-at-next-weeks-ipad-event/

My typing speed has really stagnated, which kind of sucks. Goal for this year is 150 wpm (I'm at 105 now).

Super basic #Swift / #SwiftUI question that I'm embarrassed to ask but ya only learn one way so here we go:

I would like to use TipKit in my SwiftUI app that runs on iOS 16. TipKit is only available in iOS 17. So, I'm using if #available and #if canImport().

However, Swift is not happy and says “Statements are not allowed at the top level." Do I even need to use if #available in the completely separate Swift file I'm doing TipKit stuff in? Or just where I place the tips in the App file?

Long-shot question, but is there some way for #BBEdit to replicate this auto-indentation from TextMate (and like every other editor)? Writing #Python in BBEdit is such a tedious process because I have to indent manually and that causes many “IndentationError” errors.

Proper automatic indentation in TextMate.

There are a whole lot of people who didn't get the memo that replies to @threads.net accounts are lost to the void 😅

This is absolutely psychotic. There are four iPads in the lineup as of now, but four Apple Pencils. Unbelievable.

Yay, just got access to ChatGPT browsing and the new interface.

Going to have to pit this against Bard’s new model, but it seems promising. ChatGPT Plus customers, go check your accounts!

The new tabbed interface to switch between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Hitting GPT-4 allows you to select between Default and Browsing.

visionOS 1.0.3 landed today. My second visionOS update, third to ever hit the device.

Hi. I have a really stupid #SwiftUI question.

Do you see this footer thing in System Settings? Yeah, how do you do that?

Putting the text inside the form with .formStyle(.grouped) does not do what I want. Placing the text outside the form is fine, but the colors aren't the same and that honestly looks worse.

I love SwiftUI but this is a real head scratcher.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: The majority of this country is liberal and supports Democrats, and Biden is a piss poor Democrat. America isn't stupid, and they know this. America doesn't like Biden, America likes Democrats. We need a new Democratic nominee — my hope is Gavin Newsom. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/upshot/biden-election-results-2024.html

@michaelsteeber has already made the best maps app for Apple Vision Pro. BitMaps is amazing. I mean, this is what Apple should’ve shipped the native Maps app on day one, and they blew it.

As a map nerd, I’m very excited for when this app ships.

CNET has gone to shit. Truly. Which is a real shame — CNET used to be the tech news website, alongside The Verge (This Is My Next) and Engadget (where This Is My Next came from). Now, it's SEO spam written by AI bots to get you to click affiliate links.

They know what gets the clicks, they know they don't have to exert effort writing that content themselves, and they know how to make money from those clicks. It's dirty, cheap, and frankly disgusting. Shame.

@CARROT Any hopes of getting an updated Mac menu bar app, perhaps bundled with the subscription version?
