“The tax agency concluded in its long-running investigation that Trump effectively claimed the same massive write-off twice on his failed Chicago tower.”

Another $100m fine on its way for the Republicans pick for US President.

I wish we lived in a universe where Apple apologized via a Notes.app screenshot.

App Store developers:

If you have an app bundle, check your financial reports from the February period and later. It appears there was an accounting change, and you may be losing money on Complete My Bundle purchases!

With a Complete My Bundle purchase, the original app price is listed as a refund. The problem is that now, starting in Feburary, the bundle price is no longer listed at the full price but rather at the discounted price. So the original app price is getting subtracted twice!!!!!!!

I haven't used eBay in so long they apparently deleted my account. So now I have a new account. And now I have attempted to purchase a couple of old long-discontinued TTL chips from some seller in China for $11. I wonder what the odds are that I'll ever get the chips.. or that they'll work.. or how long it'll take. 😛

Anyone else like these “Underdog" team Apple ads? Here's all 3 crammed into one:

I didn't like that Apple crushing ad, either. I cringed.

I understand the conceit of the ad - cramming all of this stuff/capability into a single magical iPad - but the execution was in poor taste, IMO.

All I saw was wastefulness. It's one thing to run with the idea that someone can replicate all of those things they probably don't have using just this one device they could buy right now, but it's quite another to imply that all of it needed to be destroyed for the iPad to pop into existence.

My jaw dropped.

I was sitting there with my mouth open after watching this Apple ad, and I can't remember something like that ever physically happening to me before. Just slow, building horror.

Adobe: Why should we make it easy to use Sidecar?🤦🏻‍♂️🤬

Backstory - a family member just got a new Mac and wanted to run Sidecar (iPad as 2nd monitor/input device). It immediately just worked for them with Procreate & Pixelmator. For Adobe it didn't, and they pulled out an old Wacom tablet.

Seems like a good opportunity to share again my encouraging post for new pizza makers. When I started, I couldn't do anything right. It's a process I think anybody can learn: http://blog.punkitup.com/2015/02/make-pizza.html

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

Elite Hoops hit 2.5k MRR today 📈

I have so many ideas and directions to take it to grow it even more. Here's hoping I hit my goal of 20k MRR sooner rather than later.

Some fun things:

• The market is ripe for good software for basketball coaches.
• I still haven't implemented core, highly requested features

Some hard things:

• An institutional leader in the space released an app recently, eating heavily into my downloads.
• Balancing Elite Hoops with other apps I wanna do.

Onwards!

Really great to see! It seems like many tutorials skip over the idea of using Xcode for git.

My iPhone 15 Pro doesn't hold onto USB-C cables very well anymore, and they always fall out or flake out.

(And I only use the USB-C port for Xcode and travel charging, so it's not from overuse.)

Anyone else have this happen? Is this most likely a "crap in the port” 5-minute-fix-at-an-Apple-store situation, or a hardware-repair I'll-be-without-my-phone-for-some-days-and-need-to-move-into-an-old-one situation?
