About by PCalc for Vision Pro is now in the hands of App Review, so we shall see what happens next!

Making screenshots for visionOS apps is tough, particularly for a fully immersive one like this. Getting the horizon completely level is certainly a challenge.

Not gonna lie, I love using the Thanos snap image on internal software deprecation notices. It’s kinda my thing…

What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.

There’s something oddly satisfying about working upstairs in my tiny home office while a little robot vacuum buzzes around downstairs cleaning up rogue Goldfish crackers and dog kibble.

@matt Qualcomm may have surpassed Apple Silicon, but did Microsoft?

@Chancerubbage @agiletortoise That works with email, but is (technically) illegal in the U.S. with text messages due to telecommunications laws.

I’m sure some (lots of?) companies ignore it, but it’s way better with text than email in my experience.

@Chancerubbage @agiletortoise Ha! True. For me the worst offender is the Red Cross. I gave you blood like a week ago, no I don’t want to schedule another appointment.

Every time I grab my iPad to do the Apple News Crosswords, I wonder why I can’t do it with the Apple Pencil and just write in the squares.

Apple: doesn't have the resources to fix longstanding problems in iPadOS

Also Apple: has time to build realistic, physicalized 3D-rendered phantom shadows of various skeuomorphic drawing implements for PencilKit

Aaah, fuck it - Just put macOS on my WATCH already.

@matt@isfeeling.social avatar

Well how did this happen?!

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@matt I’ll be doing it with a recent mini and a 2018 13” Pro. Getting almost $600 between them, which covers the keyboard and most of the 1TB upgrade, at least.

And I’ll be going white also, because why the hell not!? Things get dirty, and that’s OK.

Every time I use Siri on my WATCH, which is often, it drives me insane that the Siri blob overlay does not center itself over the bottom center complication.

@freequaybuoy sorry…

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

I assume the watch face moves around a bit to pixel-shift and help reduce OLED burn-in, which makes total sense. But move the Siri blob with it!

Man, my Apple Watch battery fell off a cliff today. Anybody else seeing that on watchOS 10.5?

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@dmoren Still OK here, but it’s on an Ultra 2, so YMMV. Charged sometime yesterday, did sleep tracking and an early morning workout. Charged it during my shower up to 84%, and sitting at 73% 8ish hours later.

@matthewcassinelli Yes!

A 15 minute presentation either needs 50+ slides or one slide. There is no in between.

Searching for Google IO 2024 on YouTube puts the official keynote below a news carousel and #6 in the results, at least with my algorithm.

I hope this isn’t the future of Google Search. I’ve watched several videos about Google leading up to I/O, so YouTube should know what I want to see - and it ain’t “news about Google protesters” from a local NBC station 7 hours away.

The stage design at I/O is always so much fun. This is serious 1988 Apple vibes, and I miss that fun vibe from Apple.

3-½ minutes in and already the dumbest quote of the year:

So, more capable than literally nothing? Cool cool cool…

I’ll just say it, I want an iPad that runs macOS (members post) https://birchtree.me/blog/ill-just-say-it-i-want-an-ipad-that-runs-macos/

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@matt I want it just so we can all move on to complaining about something else in the Apple-sphere. “My iPad should be a Mac” seems to be the earworm of the week.

I don’t look at the App Store app much anymore. It has become irrelevant to both my personal and business life, which is unfortunate.

I just scrolled through maybe 8-10 screens on the “Today” tab before I found anything I could identify as an indie app…or much of anything that wasn’t just entertainment/games.

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@agiletortoise The App Store isn’t made for us. It’s made for a billion or so rubes who dump $10/mo into silly casino games.

@dominocollege @Archnemysis @paul I see dozens of EVs parked in my company’s Burbank parking garage at pay-to-charge stations because they all live in apartments. 7% of vehicles registered in NYC are EVs, and almost nobody lives in a single-family house with parking.

I’d love to see more charging infrastructure available to people (like me!) who can’t charge at home.
