Best call from Apple. They had no choice but to leave, otherwise their credibility would have been questioned.

I headed to the office this morning and brought both my iPad Pro and my MacBook Pro. I had to install the latest updates on my MBP, so I started working on my iPad with an external monitor. I’m pretty sure I’ll be using that setup for the rest of the day. I’m being pretty patient with iPadOS paper cuts.

I find it amusing that Apple releases a new iPhone member with Tim Cook and keep pitching Apple Intelligence as a breakthrough. Are VPs at Apple aware that Apple Intelligence is far behind everybody else and that it still in early beta? Do the engineering teams ever get poked by VPs as to where they are in their journey to bring real generative AI to Apple users? 🤭

I’m likely spending an excessive amount of time reading the news through various channels and sources. However, given the numerous events unfolding right now that will significantly shape our lives over the next few decades, I believe it’s crucial to pay close attention to them. Regardless of the method, one day, these events will undoubtedly have a clear and immediate impact on me and my loved ones. Continue reading →

What? HP is buying Humane remains? HP? The leader in generative AI looking for a modern, lightweight and nifty dedicated AI device to hum along their AI backend services? Silicon Valley is hard to decipher at times.

Apple is set to unveil a strategically priced new iPhone tomorrow, alongside anticipated developments in its cellular modem technology. Should I be excited? Continue reading →

Witnessing, albeit from a distance, the daily dismantling of the United States is quite a spectacle. I never imagined I would witness this.

Reflects on my journaling habits at work and personally, questioning the purpose of writing when I seldom revisit the content. Continue reading →

I don’t care if Reddit offers a paywall option for Subreddits. Unless I’m missing something: I could create and built a community over there and at some point ask for a paid subscription, right? What is the difference then compared with Substack or Ghost?

The author urges Americans to recognize the ongoing suffering in Ukraine and criticizes Trump for wanting to engage with adversaries, drawing parallels to the 9/11 attacks. Continue reading →

I wrote this about Apple’s Aperture more than five years ago. Now we have something to talk about.

After skipping a week, here is the latest edition of the Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. This edition is the one shared from Craft as a published document. The Ghost web-hosted version is coming later today.

Putin and Trump negotiating the end of the war (or something that looks like it) without Ukraine is like a couple who is about to divorce, but the husband is negotiating with a not-so-random guy, leaving his wife aside, how to split the couple’s assets. This is beyond ridiculous and utterly outrageous.

I can’t count the number of times I wish I had maintained an archive of all my screenshots over the years, even going back to the earliest days when we could take screenshots of screens. 🤦🏻‍♂️😔

I’m not too fond of text quotes shared as beautiful pictures (coming from Readwise, for example), especially if they don’t come with ALT text description. They look pretty, though. Here’s an example. I don’t like them because they hinder content indexing in some ways.

Netflix apologized for a temporary availability on Apple TV, while Apple is expanding its app to more devices, reflecting a complicated relationship between the two companies. Continue reading →

As reported by Engadget and many others:

According to researchers, anyone who knows where to look can spray digital graffiti on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) website. Two web development experts said the site doesn’t seem to be hosted on government servers and that the database it pulls from can be modified by those who locate it. At the time of writing, a message reading “these ‘experts’ left their database open - roro” is still visible on the DOGE site.

Thanks, I feel much more confident now.

In these troubled times, the worst is to depend on social networks for anything.

The Rotten Side of Tim Cook’s Apple: Should I write a take 2 to this piece published in 2020? I think so.

First, Tim gives his money to this orange clown and dictator and assist the presidential circus inauguration and now Apple resumes advertising on X? This is not the Apple that I want. 😡
