Twenty three default items in this contextual menu. Is all of this really necessary? A lot of this feels marketing-driven. Especially items like “take photo”. And why is “freeze header” an option here when I’m not clicking on the header?

Took me fifteen minutes to figure out how to add an existing playlist to my Apple Watch. There’s a liiiiitle tiny + button when you’re looking at the playlist screen. 🙄

And after I added it, it didn’t immediately sync the music. 😡

For some reason the iTunes Music Store on Mac uses a serif font to draw contextual menus. I’m guessing someone screwed up the CSS, since the store is just a web view. It’s been this way for a very long time — which means that either Apple has chosen to ignore this bug, or nobody that works there actually uses this product.

Yo, Apple heard you like macOS 15.7.4, so they’re offering you an update to 15.7.4 that updates it to 15.7.4.

What’s up with everyone riffing on Apple Garamond lately? Are condensed serifs making a comeback?

So tired of this nonsense. I’m ten feet away from my Wi-Fi. I have a cellular Apple Watch. If it can’t reach the tethered phone for a network connection, the watch should automatically switch to its WiFi or cellular network connection. This is just a glaringly poor user experience.

Laughing at how the Liquid Glass area of Apple’s developer website actually looks like it has a gigantic crack running through it. Quite the metaphor for a flawed design language.

For extra fun, swipe left and right and watch how it gets in the way of what you are actually trying to view. As if to say ,“Pay no attention to the content you actually came here for. Look at me! Look at me!”

One advantage of the stingy storage included with my MacBook — I have inadvertently blocked my computer from upgrading to Tahoe!
Navigation Services was such a brilliant design.

Apple’s Settings app on the Mac really is just a complete embarrassment.
