I built Light Touch, a full-featured iPod touch 2G emulator for Mac. Networking + Wayback Machine proxy, GLES/3D games support, a built-in app store via legacystore.app, rotation, screen capture, the works. Have fun https://github.com/samhenrigold/LightTouchMac/releases It's still rough around the edges but wanted to share sooner rather than later.

cloudflare released a tunnel product that was seemingly entirely vibe-coded, so now you can google dork to snoop on everyone’s localhost. what a time to be alive

this is not technically a launch announcement since I'm still goofin around with things but I've been working on https://legacystore.app a massive index of old iOS apps on archive.‍org. It's got historical charts and you can visit/install directly on older devices, too.

iOS 27 framework references “foldState” and “angleDegrees” but I’m sure that’s nothing

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/117027375873199705 If you wanna try out the iOS 3 emulator, I bundled it all into a single Mac app. You can join a fake wifi network and install apps by dragging them onto the window. https://github.com/samhenrigold/qemu-ios/releases And obviously the best way to get period-correct apps is on https://legacystore.app :P

I've been listening to some internet radio recently and onlineradiobox is a wonderful website because it uses a completely broken quotes API. like I'm pretty sure the lead singer of Boys Like Girls was not talking about healthcare data but I could be wrong.

@joe@f.duriansoftware.com Alright so from my quick n dirty test, I think I have an answer: a 64-bit process on 10.4 *can* i386_set_ldt a 32-bit code segment (raw syscall, no libSystem wrapper) and lcall into it once you shrink the 4GB pagezero. But the kernel still treats the task as 64-bit. So hosting AppKit that way is starting to smell like some haunted WoW64-style thunk layer and the thought of building that gives me a nosebleed

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/117306102597921216 Apple secretly back-ported Core Animation to the 10.4 Tiger fork used by the original ATV, so I extracted the binary, transplanted it into actual Tiger, and now we have Core Animation. A Christmas miracle. The context is that I'm trying to build 2026 WebKit for 10.4 on Intel, it's going surprisingly well. CSS 3D was a big question mark before this discovery, fonts were also a gap before discovering that Core Text was already in 10.4 as a private framework. It's not gonna run anywhere Tiger runs; it's heavily tuned for 64-bit Intel. But it should be enough to run actual JS-based pages and maybe even playback 720p video with a little help from ffmpeg. 10.4 technically supports 64-bit processes, but only headless ones. Certainly not AppKit. So I'm experimenting with different splits (64-bit JSCore, 32-bit renderer, 64-bit everything minus the window chrome at the expense of native rendering, etc)

HBO always recommends Bill Maher after the end of an episode of John Oliver, which is a kind of strange suggestion. “Hey you liked this one thing, would you potentially be interested in a cinder block landing on your balls?”

hey if you ever want to have a fucking TERRIBLE time in this mortal coil, try figuring out how to configure custom document icon artwork in Xcode. (the answer, btw, is to go into your Asset catalog, create a "macOS Generic Icon" and then it will appear in the "Icon Image" picker in the target's Info tab. Not remotely obvious and not a super fun thing to debug since it requires nuking your icon cache every time you make a change)

I’m a little confused on the architecture of the new siri personal intelligence. They made a big fuss about spotlight being better, but is it a RAG system? is it just an agent that knows how to write those weird spotlight language queries?

As code becomes source of truth, design tools become interfaces on code, not the other way round.

@brucelawson Genuine consent issue here and silently re-installing it on on every launch with no way to opt in or out is a train wreck. But if I’m reading it correctly, this is just a stub until you install the chrome extension? The spyware framing is doing a lot. The bank example assumes the user has done that. So threat model is “the user went out of their way to install the thing that enables the other thing”

@grishka This is largely a vibe-based experiment on what feels like cheating and what doesn't.
