@MattyTheChef I get up the same time every day. Even weekends.

@gruber @BenRiceM Sure, but I _do_ think the goal is “ensure Apple’s customers more choice and stop Apple from standing in their way”.

If that's the ultimate goal — regardless of the _how_ — then I think the DMA is [marginally] successful so far.

@ksbex@infosec.exchange @bruienne For what it's worth, I typically spend 30-60 minutes doing a Workout every single day.

I'm sure it's not technically feasible, but if I could get live football presented immersively, I'd pay $∞.

Even this four-minute recap is *phenomenal*.

@marcoarment @tomalvarez That's like 10× the size of the Pavilion lol

@viticci I missed most of it! Watching now and adding chapters.

@tomalvarez Oh it's at the Pavilion! Such a small venue; I reckon @marcoarment would have enjoyed that quite a lot.

@viticci I was casually amused with the Oasis talk; now you have my attention

@stephenrobles Ah, that’s right, I forgot it’s only 3.2.

Well, still, 3.2 is > gigabit in theory, so I wonder if it’d still work out for the best.

@mhannemann If it helps any, it also drives me batty. ;)

@mhannemann I have attempted this in the past — especially for iPad — and I couldn’t make it work.

99% sure I’m the problem. But not sure how to fix. Will have to look again.

@nathangrigg I don’t think they’d do it for scratches.

@stephenrobles I’m super curious if that works better than a baller TB cable.

Hell, I’m wondering if a TB cable works at all.

@Nitro230 I don’t have a case on my phone.

A listener just wrote me and asked if I could confirm the Apple Vision Pro will transmit Mac Virtual Display over the developer strap when it's plugged in.

While it's _possible_ there's some ad-hoc WiFi lunacy happening, I had WiFi off and ethernet disconnected, and it still worked no sweat.

@reppep @stephenrobles I have no idea! I was hoping thunderbolt would make it crazy fast, but I'm not even sure if it'd work at all.

@stephenrobles Video request: given the following options for a phone → phone transfer, which is the fastest?

• Wi-Fi
• Both of them using USB-C ↔ Ethernet dongles and connected to a gigabit switch
• Both of them connected with a thunderbolt 3 (or 4) cable

😘

Inaugural run of the Tailgate Tub™:

• Internal connections all good 👍🏻
• Battery pack works excellently 👍🏻

• Don’t start the Sonos Move until you confirm internet is 100% up 😒
• Borrowed library T-Mobile hotspot is trash when there’s a zillion people in one spot 👎🏻

College football IS BACK BABY

This was the first thing that led to my tweet.

There are many others. https://wandering.shop/@jwisser/113051805037090829

The Experian website could easily be the subject of a case study in dark patterns.

🤮

We're not fucking around this year, y'all. 💪🏻 😅

Remember, top donors get @atpfm stickers hand-dispatched by yours truly!

That feeling when you’re trying to decide if junking up your code is worth it for a feature that only a handful of users have asked for. 🤔

(As it turns out, adding an "Open in Browser" action to a share sheet is WAY harder than it should be in SwiftUI. ☹️)

LANNNNNDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@ivory @mark I love the option to put the compose button in the toolbar instead of a FAB. However, I’d love it if it was all the way on the right instead of the left.

1) my muscle memory is home is on the left
2) I’m right handed and often use the phone in my right hand

Oh no I installed home assistant goodbye productivity

One of the things I really like about @tailscale is that they not only tell you what they do, but also _how_ they do it:

This is in contrast with most other companies, who say "hey we just shipped this new feature and it works by ✨magic ✨”

In the year of $deity 2024 there really isn't a good/reliable way to get a Monroney Label / Window Sticker?

I've seen a couple of places that will make them for money but it doesn't appear that they're the originals, but rather, their own take on the original. 👎🏻

I'd love to get my hands on my original BMW & Mazda window stickers, in PDF form. I have the VINs.

Looks like my desktop dock, the CalDigit TS4, is available on Amazon for $30 off if you "clip a coupon”.

As per this *excellent* two-episode arc on 20k Hz, apparently Max Richter, the composer of the theme from “The Leftovers" also wrote "Seedling" and "Unfold”, two of the tones that ship in iOS.

_Finally_.

(Sorry, y'all.)

A screenshot of a pull request on Github. The PR is entitled “Fix Flashing Subscribe Button” and it is showing as merged.

This is so gross. 👎🏻 × ∞

When is Apple going to realize that rent-seeking anywhere and everywhere is not only a bad look, but will get them regulated straight to hell?

(And at this point, it's more than deserved. Bring it on.)

Callsheet 2024.13 is slowly rolling out now, which includes a few new icons by your pal and mine, @jelly:

A clapperboard with rainbow stripes showing a film called “The Birdcage” from 1996.A clapperboard with its strips fashioned to look like the trans flag, showing a title of “The Matrix” from 1999.A clapperboard showing a title of “The Windows of Siracusa County”.

If you're wondering how things are going in the visionOS App Store, a new build of Callsheet entered review five minutes after I submitted it.

😬

🎂 Happy Birthday, Callsheet! 🎂
