If I’m criticizing something, it’s probably because I like it and want it to be better.

Opinions are mine. Facts are ours.

Experimenting with lots of stuff in life these days and loving it.

@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 ο£ΏWATCH already.

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 ο£ΏWATCH, which is often, it drives me insane that the Siri blob overlay does not center itself over the bottom center complication.

@freequaybuoy sorry…

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 β€œnews about Google protesters” from a local NBC station 7 hours away.

jimmylittle,

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-Β½ minutes in and already the dumbest quote of the year:

β€œsince then, we released the first Gemini model, the most capable yet”

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. β€œMy 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 β€œToday” 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 $20-30/mo if you have at-home charging, which most people in America cannot install.

jimmylittle,
@jimmylittle@hachyderm.io avatar

@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.

life at my house got infinitely easier when we implemented two things a few years ago:

  1. the house scissors are always in the silverware drawer over on the side in the house scissors spot, and they're returned quickly after each use

  2. The laundry room has a shelf for a tape measure. In our garage toolbox, there's a drawer for another tape measure. There's always a tape measure in those two places

@alng @hacks4pancakes Honestly, facial recognition and AI will probably it do a better job than most TSA agents at just about every step of the security theater.
