I love what Inoreader just released. Massive.

Thanks to the Elgato USB Hub for Stream Deck +, all my USB-A ports on my M1 Mac mini are now free, making it a USB-C-only connected device. I can now upgrade to the M4 Mac mini when it shows up this week!

Maybe Apple will announce a new product each day through a press release with a shipping date of Oct 23th, with a culmination point with the redesigned M4 Mac mini? I think it wouldn’t be the first time they did it this way.

New iPad mini: Apple Intelligence support, Apple Pencil Pro. New storage tiers. Oh, almost forgot: new colors. Meh.

I visited the Apple West 14th Street Apple Store this past weekend in New York City. As usual, the store was packed with people. However, one thing caught my attention: there was no one at the Apple Vision Pro tables. Despite being at the peak of their support, those devices felt quite lonely and unappealing. How long will Apple keep those devices for sale?

Walked 20KM, 28000 steps. Feeling exhausted. 😓 But I still love NY, 9 years since my previous trip in June, 2015.

Seeing people use their iPhone camera to take pictures and videos of a show and I think there is no tweak or improvement that Apple can do to the camera control to beat on-screen controls. Apple brought a gimmicky feature to the iPhone.

Perfect day for a long road trip. I’m going to a music show close to New York City: Sting.

Playing with Spectre on the road while heading to New York. That was a 5 sec exposure.

I’m starting to warm up to Tapestry… I’ll expand my testing of it this week-end!

I can’t stand watching and listening to Musk for more than five minutes. He is such a bad speaker, really. I think he should let someone else talk for him, like one of his robots, it might be much better and bearable.

I’ve been using my M4 iPad Pro hooked to an external display all day at the office (forgot to bring my MacBook Pro!) and boy… I don’t know who’s fault but using apps like Teams and Outlook on the external display is rough. It might be Apple’s fault for not evangelizing enough the iPad in this business environment or Microsoft’s for not taking the iPad seriously enough to spend the resources on testing their shit on this configuration.

Anyway, the iPad has come a long way since 2010…

When I created my Ko-fi page, I said that I would be sharing more personal stories about me on it. Today, I just did. Plus, my supporters are getting a free perk. Want to become a supporter too? Thanks.

iPhone mirroring on macOS Sequoia is so handy. For example, getting a notification on my iPhone to approve a request in the MFA application is so handy.

I found a font that I like a lot: Dosis. This will be the official font for my future consulting company. I find it to be a mix of modernism and retro style. Easy to read. Singular.

I’m happy to share the newest edition of my Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. Email version coming out much later today.

Back home. Feeling good. Returning to normal programming soon. 🤗

What is the fuss with Automattic lately? Missed something apparently. 🤨

WTF? 😳 A “social” network with AI-based-only followers? Really? Are we that desperate?

I have a love & hate relationship with the US as a country. Going to Las Vegas today for a four-day business trip falls in the “hate” part because I think we cannot have those Las Vegas cities any longer. This city is everything but real. I hate to see our resources spoiled like that.
