@imyke I would love to know how many more $100 dev accounts Apple is selling than they typically do? They might be fine with a slew of vibe coded apps getting put on the App Store.

@atpfm My Apple ID issue wasn’t nearly as bad as what you spoke about on ATP, but it really shook my confidence. I have an AppleID that dates back to the .mac days. Never a single issue. My digital life is in it. This year I tried to upgrade to a paid dev account. Got an error message to contact support. Support told me there was an id issue and nothing could be done. For “privacy reasons” even escalated support couldn’t help me. Made me realize how little power we have when there is an issue.

@caseyliss I had hopes the vapor chamber in the 17Pro would help with outdoor usage in the sun, but had a feeling it wouldn’t help much when the heat is coming from outside the phone.
Watching the parade at Disney World today and taking pictures. Felt like the screen dropped brightness and the phone started dropping frames just as quick as the 16Pro. 😢

As someone with minimal programming ability, but always had a hobby like interest, ChatGPT has been great.
It's super easy to get a very solid start with what you want to do, and does great documenting it.
I just asked it to make me a Phyton script that watches a folder for any new files of a certain type and copies them to another location, with provisions catch up any changes if the script was closed. I learned a ton just looking at what it gave me. And had a working script in 30 minutes.

@leo I too bought an M3 Max with no real use case for it. Very interested in on device LLM models. Outside of Stable Diffusion I haven’t used much. What are some neat ones you have found?

@leo that segment speaking about how you can’t visualize was eye opening to me. I’m 39 years old and exactly the same way. I thought it was normal and that people who spoke about being able to visualize books and recall photos in their mind were just inflating the non descriptive blobs I see.

@jsnell @imyke All I want from a Studio Display is the ability to pair accessories right to it. Then let anyone who plugs a laptop into it use those.
I would buy one instantly for the living room desk as a place everyone in the family can hook their laptop into and work on a larger screen.

@leo I feel like AI knows you are trying to keep it out of the military, so it’s trying to distract you with half naked ladies on Facebook.
