The Journal app is now on the App Store. Says it requires iOS 17.2.

Have somehow only just noticed that Sonoma doesn't show any images for menu items in the menubar anymore for Catalyst apps.

@jamesthomson I have literally been a Mac user for over 15 years and I just now noticed you can have images for menu bar items. TIL.

Weird bug I’ve never seen with any previous iPhone I’ve owned: my iPhone 15 Pro stopped charging over USB-C. Tried multiple cables, multiple chargers, nothing.

Powered the iPhone off and back on, and it’s back to normal. But I can’t recall ever seeing an iPhone refuse to charge before. (iOS 17.0.3.)

@gruber You’re charging it wrong, John.

The personalized Apple Music station I think is Apple Music's best feature. I do wish it acted more like a never-ending playlist instead of a station, however, similar to the “Autoplay” feature, where you can rewind and see which tracks are coming next.

Here's hoping for iOS 60 (more like visionOS 37) when we're all dead and gone and our great, great grandchildren finally remember that “Music” is an app Apple makes.

It pisses me off that AP style is “Black” (capital B) but “white” (lowercase w).

Like, pick one. I propose that both should be lowercased (“African American” should be capitalized because it describes two countries).

FYI to the couple I overheard arguing about this at the grocery - Brown eggs and white eggs are the same. Brown eggs aren’t better for you AND they aren’t whole wheat eggs. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@shanselman That sounds like couple humor to me. Unless they had straight faces. Then I definitely would’ve said something.

The ads in Apple News are both high-class and high-resolution.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber A premium user experience worthy of the “+” moniker, indeed.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@gruber Who sells these ads, Apple or the publisher?

how does this site still not have quote tweeting

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@christianselig Because people on this website — in a stark contrast to their political views — are very resistant to change. They resisted changing the default instance to mastodon.social and enabling search among many other things. Apparently quote posting is “toxic.” I don’t get it.

Ok then. McCarthy is out; the House has no Speaker at the moment. Not 100% clear what happens next because, well, this is a first.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@GovTrack Well, the Speaker Pro Tempore becomes the interim speaker, then a vote is held to determine a new speaker.

Some sync operations were too slow today due to a huge server load. Sorry about that.

I've doubled that pool's server resources tonight to hopefully alleviate the problem. 💸 💸 💸

Having an existential crisis with periods in acronyms. NYT Style adds periods (P.V.D.) and AP doesn’t (PVD).

I’m gonna launch a few items of merch next year. They’re very cool and will appeal to a much wider reach than the “Snazzy Labs YouTube audience” so I want to sell them under a separate brand. But what on earth do I name the site/company/etc.? Names are hard…

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@snazzyq Why not Snazzy… something? “Snazzy” is a pretty ambiguous and uncommon word that has a positive connotation — all good things for marketing. And for people who do know your YouTube channel, they know it’s all tied together. No need for a new name, IMO.

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@snazzyq It does look very Apple-y; I like it!

EshuMarneedi,

@snazzyq With you on that one. I don't even like VR, but this is the best attempt so far.

I'm more curious, though, and that curiosity stems mainly from excitement than pessimism.

Using the 15 Pro Max feels so nice. It’s so comfortable to hold.

I think this is easily the best big phone Apple has made. If you’ve ever been Max-curious, now’s the time to jump on board. 🫡

EshuMarneedi,
@EshuMarneedi@mastodon.social avatar

@imyke This I agree with. But no Pro Max. That is wrong. :p

Download “Actions” from the App Store (it’s free) that adds conditionals like orientation state when you trigger your Action Button so you can do stuff like this!

This FineWoven case is so bad, this may be the year I do the unthinkable (for me at least) and go case-less with my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

I've had $10 cases from Amazon feel more premium than this. 😬

@viticci Looks like it’s worth $60! /s
