I think I found the permits Apple got for filming at the Chicago Michigan Ave Store. Looks like it was Aug 10-13th overnights.

Inspired by @StewartLynch's talk on Swift developer tips at #deepdishswift I wanted to share an accidental discovery of mine this week that'll save me so much time.

You can ⌘V paste any text into the Xcode Project Navigator and it'll create a new file for you!

(there is also a right click menu item for this "New File from Clipboard")

Incredible iPad and iPhone stands inspired by the iMac G4. If you have a 3D printer you can make your own. https://makerworld.com/en/@EBengineering

With this and the Touch ID “button” mod I may finally have to get a 3D printer.

New Ultra 2 in Black with Milanesep Loop came today. But I can’t unsee the angry face on the clasp.

Oh wow it works well with the 11” iPad Pro. Not too heavy or uncomfortable to hold. Interesting. Will try this with a Fallout 4 replay.

Despite reports to the contrary Apple has been using the term “AI” all along, on every package they mail out.

Who needs a PlayStation Portal? iPad Mini with a slightly modded Gamesir G8 Galileo. (Nintendo Switch OLED for scale)

Going to attach it to my 11” iPad Pro OLED tomorrow but I assume that’ll be ridiculous to hold. Maybe?

Spoiler for tomorrow’s Apple event, here is @joshdholtz with the new Apple Pencil Ultra at @DeepDishSwift.
