RE: @Daytonlowell@mastodon.social
Loved listening to @atpfm@mastodon.social this week and hearing them also wonder WTF Gurman is smoking.

@timonus @markgurman what would be cooler is a Photos-like scrubber UI so you could scrub through state changes of the Home Screen.
The latest Gurman article is wild. He’s trying to spin the software design failures of Tahoe as a hardware shortcoming. Huh?
RE: @macrumors@mastodon.social
Apple has a long history of terrible naming, and I guess they're going all in on Air, Max, Pro, & Ultra names for all hardware.
And that's too bad. They're not good names. They don't do anything to describe the products. They're essentially marketing names for pricing tiers.
I prefer names that give the user info about the thing. "Touch ID” and “Face ID” were not named “Authentication Pro” and “Authentication Ultra”, and for good reason.
I know @gruber@mastodon.social likes it, but he’s wrong on this one.
Hmm, 15.7.5 is the latest macOS Sequoia release, but the public beta train is offering up 15.7.7. Whatever happened to 15.7.6?
@harshil@mastodon.social remember the OG iPad keynote where Steve Jobs said it would last a month on standby? Yeah…about that.
Apple should rethink their Apple Sports Live Activity in the Dynamic Island for golf.
It just shows the player in 1st place. If you know anything about golf you know the players in last place start first.
Which means most likely I’ll just be looking at the 1st place player’s name for the next 5 hours or more. It’s useless. It should show the player whose score changed most recently.
I will never understand people that release major software updates to customers on a Friday. That’s what Monday through Wednesday are for. Maybe a Thursday if it’s just a patch/bug fix release.
@dmoren@zeppelin.flights are your Jeopardy! episodes on the Internet anywhere? I can’t find them on Hulu or Peacock.
Anyone else have a 30 pin to USB-C cable, or just me?
@chrisdejabet@mastodon.social idk if you’ve noticed, but Look Around in Apple Maps is live in Lincoln, or at least some of it! About time!
I'm surprised when my fellow developers will toil with problems that should be out of scope for them. Sometimes you *don't* need to handle that issue at that layer of the stack. It can be someone else's problem, and that's ok. You don't need to solve every issue or get mad about external factors that you feel will make your job more complicated.
Not every problem is *yours* to solve.

@mattcomi@hachyderm.io My work still uses a combo of SVN and Git these days(We're working to get everything off of SVN).

@rmondello@hachyderm.io You're a really good public speaker, Ricky. You speak slowly, clearly, and communicate effectively. Great job!
I'm a web developer and I’d like to begin the investigation of supporting passkeys in our web apps. Do you have any good resources for what they might look like on the client & server?

@gruber@mastodon.social features or products, users still need to know what’s unique about them.
Replying to
@gruber@mastodon.social @ravigupta@mastodon.social yeah, the iPhone is quite possibly the most popular consumer electronic device of all time. They have to use the iPhone name.
Replying to
@ravigupta@mastodon.social As good as iBook is, it’s hard because iPhone iBook sounds weird, and it *has* to have iPhone in the name.

@deancommasteven@vmst.io the battery is so shot that I have to keep it plugged in to use it lol
