An iPadOS 26.1 feature in testing that hasn't been enabled in builds yet:

SpringBoard itself has a system menu bar, with quick access to a bunch of things, including shut down and restart, screenshots, homescreen editing and more. Combined with the previous 'Control Center on External Displays' unreleased feature, I hope that they're slowly building towards clamshell mode for iPad…

xcrun simctl spawn booted defaults write com.apple.springboard SBHomeScreenMenuBar -bool YES; killall SpringBoard

huh. new (to me) #Apple #privacy checkbox: System Settings: Spotlight: Help Apple Improve Search – […] allow Apple to store your Safari, Siri, Spotlight, Lookup, and # images [(Messages app)] search queries. […]

Apple is so happy to add nag prompts all over the OS, AND YET this gets silently enabled.

really weird how this is placed in Spotlight settings instead of in Privacy & Security, yeah? 😑

@caseyliss @atpfm i _think_ Apple will waive the advanced replacement fee if you don’t live near an Apple Store, or maybe their policy has changed since the last time i’ve done an advanced replacement.

i live in the middle of illinois and the closest Apple Store to me is ~2 1/2 hours away. i’ve never been charged extra for an advance replacement when my device is covered under AppleCare.

i’ve been slowly watching Steven Universe for the first time. it’s a lovely and fun show. it started as “is my kid ready for this” and i dunno, they haven’t seemed interested, but i’ve been enjoying it 😆

I found a network problem that wasn't DNS.

It was Energy Saver.

Hey Apple! Remember when macOS used to be fun? We sure do! We spent years creating hard drive icons people love to use. Let us help give Tahoe a little love too—we’re ready! 🫶
