Here is something that bugs me with “Sign in with Apple” or with services that are supporting this feature.

The easy and fun part is when you sign up as a new user of a service supporting “Sign in with Apple”. But what if I’m an already signed up user for many years then I want to switch to “Sign in with Apple” without creating a new account? Some service are providing a way to link an Apple ID in order to enable “Sign in with Apple”. But it is the minority. WordPress.com is such an example.

Am I missing something?

Very promising new Apple Watch app: Watchsmith. I can see this coming to watchOS in some form or another in the future. There is a lot of potential here while waiting for custom watch faces from Apple. Subscription-based price a bit steep but I understand it must ensure sustainable development. We’ll see where it goes from here.

I think I just saw the future of iPadOS. Please, if you are an avid iPad user, take a moment to take a look at a potential feature that could be the next big game changer after the mouse support introduced with iPadOS 13.4. The following website perfectly illustrates a potential new system wide feature: iPad Main Menu. Dear Apple, please, oh please, consider this for iPadOS 14. 🙏🏻🥺

These were the best keyboards. I remember their touch, the feeling and… the clicky sound. twitter.com

Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) Tweeted: So I busted out my IBM PC keyboard model M. I wrote ZZT and Unreal Engine 1 on this thing. With apologies to Moore’s Law, I gotta say - 1984 was peak keyboard. The code just types out better with these keys. t.co/3j0V3eujq…

While Microsoft was busy trying to build a clone of Slack (MS Teams), they forgot to pay attention to Skype. Having a personal and business edition after all these years makes no sense. But I wouldn’t count Microsoft out yet.

I’m trying something new. It is always a good idea to cut the noise when looking at the news these days. To help me achieve that, I subscribed to 1 year of @mailbrew service. Here is the fruit of this new beginning. app.mailbrew.com/apple_obs…

I used to be a big fan of OmniFocus from The OmniGroup. After having transited to Things when version 3.0 came out, I’m now, I’m back with Apple’s Reminders. For my business need, I now only use OmniGraffle in order to do technical diagrams. My hope is that layoffs doesn’t affect too much this app’s future on which I depend.

We are in a constant state of crisis. One crisis after the other. Is this the new normal? There are so many things that I find revolting right now in the US. It started a few years ago, in 2016. The following twitter thread calling the NYT to do its most basic job is so spot on. Yet, they fail again and again. Just listen to press conferences, one after the other. It is disgusting.

I’m sorry if in recent days I’m calling out more things about politics, The Clown in Chief and the US. I should be writing about Apple, photography my dear passions. This is a special time. It requires a special reaction I guess. I just want to return to some form of normality, acceptability. I guess we have to be patient.

As a weather enthusiast, Apple buying Dark Sky is a very good news for at least two reasons. First, the Dark Sky app is not available in Canada. Apple will probably extend the service coverage in future releases. Second, it may signal Apple’s intentions to beef up its weather stock apps on all its platforms.

Now Apple will better understand how their software can be frustrating as hell…
