I’m interested in technology that makes life easier and is esthetically pleasing. I’m a LaunchBar nerd. Podcasts are my favorite medium to learn new things. I love Jesus, my family, nature, bass, skateboarding, sourdough bread, mushrooms, basketball…

I try to have a positive impact in my local community with drustvosteza.si

Any good recommendations to fix broken contacts app sync (iCloud?)

The problem is my Mac, that's for sure but e.g. I deleted duplicates on the iPhone multiple times and they keep coming back..

I didn’t know Apple had repair guides now, complete with short videos for many steps. That’s neat!

This one is from the Neo trackpad instructions:

From time to time, I try Apple Podcasts just because of the transcription feature. Every podcast app should have that. But I just cannot live with the rest. It's too messy and not flexible enough at the same time.

I was meaning to write a reply to “Why is Claude an Electron App?” for a few days. Today is that day:

https://tonsky.me/blog/fall-of-native/

Claude is an Electron App because we’ve lost native

Article argues that Claude is not an Electron app not because LLMs can’t do it, but because there are no advantages left for native

A new update of Noir is available right now! 🎉 The biggest new feature is Advanced Appearance Options.

Once enabled, these options give you more control to fine-tune Noir’s generated dark styles.

Ideally, it's something you never need. But if you ever encounter a website where Noir’s dark style doesn’t look quite right, it's certainly a nice feature to have.

Download the update now:
📱 iOS https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1581140954
🖥️ macOS https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1592917505

First step towards full automation - MindNode now has a sophisticated URL scheme that allows to create and manipulate documents.

Anything you‘d like to see?

Yes, I guess that is an entirely different story. I am pretty content with iOS 26, but I’ve never felt so fine about missing out on a macOS update.

I have the feeling Launchbar presents results faster than I can type… 😳
