@marcoarment I am old and I just scan as document with Notes on the phone. Sometimes I get shadows (addressed by the iPad Pro 2024) but it’s fine. It’s fast, nothing to jam, no extra software, ends up OCR and searchable by spotlight anywhere, and I get to add metadata to the scanned item in the note, group scans in one note, tag, categorize.
Bonus: it gets better every time I update my device.
@steveriggins@marcoarment I use both - I have a letter holder that bills go in to queue for scanning. Those get scanned with the ScanSnap once a month. For quick things I use Notes, and if there was a good way to automate getting the image out of notes into a PDF on my Mac I’d probably use it most of the time.
I filed a feedback about my erratic eye tracking on my #VisionPro and got some useful information:
“Unfortunately, the artificial lenses that are implanted during a Cataract surgery can sometimes cause interference with Apple Vision Pro’s eye tracking. This can manifest in unstable, or erratic tracking and highlighting.”
@steveriggins Soubds frustrating, but at least they know ofnit and know what the problem exactly is. So this could potentially be fixed in a revision or maybe even with Software.
@steveriggins Commit your Package.resolved and compile with --disable-automatic-resolution. This will make the build break if there's drift between what the manifest specifies and what resolved has locked in.
@matthewcassinelli yeah agreed. I was teach regular people who belong to our user group and are not power users at all. Most of my classes are simply informative so people are less skiddish about trying something out that they don’t understand.
If I buy a car and it’s a piece of crap, I will say so and tell everyone. I don’t need to try and salvage my fragile ego by grifting others into also buying a shitty car. I want to share what I learned so others can benefit.
Musk fans are cut from a different cloth. Something more akin to a diaper.
@siracusa@caseyliss@marcoarment are you aware of this may 1 ITMS-91053 missing API declaration requirement Apple has? We have to declare why we are using a category of APIs but they didn’t tell us which specific apis so it a a haystack hunt of finding symbols in frameworks with no obvious reason why the linker linked them, as well as updating SDKs to get signed, manifested versions, along with whatever side effects of a SDK bump.
@siracusa Ah, I wasn’t sure if the angle was that they want the info (fine) but they give zero clues about how to satisfy the requirements. I have some symbols showing up in frameworks via nm that I simply cannot figure out where they are being imported from. Apple could have made this a one hour task by supplying specific APIs in specific frameworks, but they tossed it over the wall and said “good luck!” It falls into line with other bad practices by dev relations (ok I am old)
What I want is a augmented reality cone of silence that others can see me hitting my head on the thing, hear what I am saying (because it doesn’t actually work) but the chief and I are oblivious https://mastodon.social/@charliemchapman/112237663153105128
Wait, I cannot change the URL for an iCloud Keychain password entry? This seems like a massive flaw nobody talks about. I have to create a new entry and guessed at the website because the app is a lame web app with a fake input form, and now I have something that I cannot autofill on their sign in screen
@steveriggins It looks like you can change the URL with the old Keychain Access utility (in the Utilities folder). You should write a bug against the System Preferences->Passwords panel so that functionality can be fixed in the new UI before the Keychain Access utility app goes away.
Weird history: I wrote the first implementation for SecItem API for macOS. It was a shim on top of the old Keychain API. Why? Because I implemented the Keychain API on Windows for the Safari for Windows project, and right after Apple shipped Safari for Windows, the iPhone was released and the iPhone team had implemented SecItem for the phone and were not going to use the old Keychain API, so... I wrote the shim code so the SecItem API could be used everywhere. A release or so later, the security team grabbed my shim code and used it to get SecItem up on macOS.
@steveriggins It does have standings, but the information architecture is broken. To see standings, you need to go into a specific game/match, and than scroll down. You'll see the standings there. I call that design "broken" because no one thinks of standings as something inside specific games.
