@harshil if we would start doing that in German there wouldn’t be any words left without numbers inside 🤪

If only my knowledge of EU law had the desired impact this fast every time 🙂

My father wanted to pay a EDF French electricity bill from a Belgian bank account, and was told that this was not possible because the bank was outside France

I formulated a stern email to EDF for him, in French, stipulating this was not allowed as a reason within the Single European Payment Area (SEPA), and within a few hours they relented in a grovelling email!

@jon I had the same recently when I tried to buy an internet contract in Spain. Even in the shop they weren’t able to help me, the starting letters of the IBAN „ES“ were hardcoded into the form. Not legal but they don’t care 🤷‍♂️

If you thought Apple's war with Epic was dramatic, wait 'till their war with China 😛

With all the Vision Pro press (and I'd argue, success), worth watching the excellent Apple and Tim Cook documentary:

"The House that Tim Cook Built"

Came out last month, before Vision Pro release.

Full documentary here...

@davemark I agree, it’s a good one!

Would you pay $5-$10 per app per year to be automatically notified when your app is featured on the App Store?

frederik,
@frederik@mastodon.social avatar

@simonbs I’m using AppFigured for that, works really well! Sends me an email every morning with the new features for the day and works worldwide.

@frederik@mastodon.social avatar

@simonbs good point! If you can build something better consider me subscribed! This feature is the only reason why I pay 10€/month to appfigures ;)

Hey @mammoth :) is there an URL scheme for opening profiles directly in the app? Would like to open Mammoth from my apps if the user has it installed :)

frederik,
@frederik@mastodon.social avatar

@klemensstrasser @mammoth It would be super handy if there was some standardized URL scheme pattern for all mastodon clients!

Some friends of mine are having a laugh about what might happen on my SE Europe trip... and put some prompts into an AI image generator

And this is what came out! 😂

I am not about to start smoking, but this is really fun

And for the record I don't intend to flee border guards on the Birdy!

frederik,
@frederik@mastodon.social avatar

@jon seems like the AI has a strong negative image of what "crossing a border" means

My notifications on Mastodon are stuck at 40 since a couple of months. Anyone knows how I can remove that badge?

If Apple has the M3 in all variants ready, I’d be surprised if they didn’t switch the VisionPro to use it. The M2 VisionPro will be kind of a „Developer Transition Kit“ and never be released. But if that is the case, will they announce this today or when the VisionPro launches?

frederik,
@frederik@mastodon.social avatar

@gernot maybe there has been an M3 pro prototype in it from the very beginning and they never told anyone 🤫

On Apple and AI server plans:

"Apple plans to purchase 2,000–3,000 and 18,000–20,000 units of AI servers in 2023 and 2024, respectively. It represents about 1.3% and 5% of worldwide AI server shipments in 2023 and 2024, respectively."

@davemark some people say this is not enough. My 2 cents: Apple has the largest distributed AI computing power. Almost everyone has a recent A series chip in their pocket. So, hopefully, a lot of AI tasks can/will be executed locally, without the need for Apple to offer large data farms

For the first time in 4 years I‘ll be back in Cupertino in June!

If you happen to be in Cupertino as well around that time, I‘d love to meet + catch up! My DMs are open ☺️

(I didn’t get a ticket for the wwdc viewing though, I‘ll be watching the keynote from our Indie house just around the corner from Apple Park)
