Figure 1: The official Tetris® app for iPhone

Figure 2: How every single Tetris player plays Tetris on an iPhone

Went out (in the car, with the family) with Apple Watch Ultra 2, a notebook and pen, and this Sony RX100, which I bought 10 years ago when phone pics were bad and cellular smart watches were nonexistent. Observations:

1. Everything went perfectly on the watch, including complex party-splitting Find My/Maps/Messages operations. Voice worked as an occasional fallback.

2. The photos are drastically better than iPhone 15 Pro, and now I want Photos to do ML fake Portrait Mode on non-iPhone photos.

What do you think of my 1.1 Persona?

I’ll tell you, when I was examining it by staring at it while talking and making exaggerated facial expressions, I was sucked into some kind of weird uncanny mirror thing, which did NOT happen with the 1.0 version.

Apple in February 2024: *releases new hardware category*

Bloomberg in March 2024:

I’m sorry, has Apple just _broken Notes’ Shortcuts compatibility_ and not said or done anything about it?

Every m$&@)f&@$&ing time I build any kind of workflow with Shortcuts — which I only EVER do using basic built-in actions and almost always exclusively first-party applications — it works for like two months, breaks, and then never works again.

Is this what building actual applications on Apple platforms is like?
