5·4 days agoForce them (including myself) to implement dark mode, and soon dark app icons.

If I remember correctly they’ve since removed that rule
Am I misremembering or did they say you could use it in the dark? I thought it was using infrared to light up your hands and track itself.
Hiking ≠ walking
They had walking directions probably from the start, but there’s new topographical map now.
5·15 days agoAre you talking about asking Siri about bedtime stories? Because that has been a thing for a while. Apple said that AI stuff was coming later this summer with a waitlist, so none of the new stuff should be there yet.
It’s not yet available, even in beta, right?
There’s no need for that Shortcut anymore, there’s a dedicated shortcut action from Apple now (Shortcut example)
I’ve been a long time 1password user, but they turned away from individuals and towards b2b. And they’ve gotten a lot more expensive as well. I ultimately switched to iCloud Keychain and I’m quite happy with it. There’s still a few shortcomings, but they don’t matter as much anymore. I’m happy to see the upcoming changes.
Learning from drug dealers
What’s the difference between the pro and non-pro version?
I think they’re reworking the Chromecast sharing as it was never working great. An alternative is to use the phone to share the screen and put that on the TV if I remember correctly (or use a laptop or just the phone).
There’s also a few asymmetrical games, where one player plays in VR and the other one flat (there’s probably more):
- Acron: Attack of the Squirrels
- Keep talking and nobody explodes
- Carly and the reaperman
- Demeo (can be played flat or VR)
Regarding isolation: that’s definitely true. But I’d argue most players (flat or VR) play games alone in a room anyways and VR multiplayer games have a bigger social component. But playing with friends and family is definitely more fun.
You’re probably partially right, he made the Altstore specifically for his emulator and since Apple doesn’t like people using other app stores they changed their own rules last second to allow them in, as there’s basically no downside of doing so.
The Altstore has plans to open up to other apps as well, but why not put your own apps on it, especially if they are the only ones currently available.
The “Riley Tax” as you called it is mostly just an Apple tax though and to pay for infrastructure. I don’t see him getting rich from that.
I obviously don’t have any inside information, but my guess is that he’s not flexing with this, he just can’t let it go, he probably should. Especially since he’s already halfway in retirement.
They didn’t say it explicitly, but I wonder if their problem with screen time is that you can only “limit push notifications”, you can’t “change the notification settings”.
So if you have a work focus mode and want to receive work notifications only in that focus mode, you have to have the work notifications on permanently and when you don’t want to see them you need another “private” focus mode to turn them off otherwise. But they’ll still pile up, just slightly more hidden.
What I’d want is to actually change the notification settings of an app in a focus mode. So turn them on in one mode and have them off in another.
That’s what I’ve been doing basically the moment safari extensions released. It’s not perfect, but it’s far superior to the YouTube app.
I was basically begging for that comment ^^
In an ideal world, Apple intelligence will take care of this. But it’ll probably just highlight more important notifications while everything else is still there a swipe away.
