Follow-up to my previous post: I’ll be returning the Ubiquiti G6 Instant camera. It’s a really nice designed device, very Apple-like. But I can’t justify replacing my Dream Router with the Dream Router 7 only to add Wifi 7 and support for Ubiquiti Project. Too bad.

Ordered and received an Ubiquiti G6 Instant surveillance camera only to discover that UniFi Protect which is required to manage and use that camera isn’t supported on my UniFi Dream Router from 2020. 🙁 I would need to replace my router with a Dream Router 7 if I want to keep the camera. But replacing my router would probably require replacing my two network extenders, too. 😔

Asking for a summarized review of reviews of a product like the NIKKOR Z 70-180mm f/2.8 with Perplexity pro prompt is super cool to get the gist of a product quality and capabilities (here are the results¹). We live in exciting times, even if challenging.

After reading John Siracusa’s articles about Apple current issues and possible remediations this morning (1, 2), I wish I had enough time at my disposal to create timetogotim.org¹, a website promoting the need for a change of leadership at Apple.

If Apple’s ‘Solarium UI’ is the UI unification of all Apple platforms, which platform will give up the most of its personality the most? 👀🤔

Will Apple’s Solarium UI refresh make us forget about Apple Intelligence and Siri’s lackluster performance or App Store litigation or developers mounting disdain for Apple or Tim Cook questionable leadership in the age of AI?

Catching up recent Micro.blog updates and I really like the new AI-generated categories feature. Coupled with filters, it’s a great way to organize posts not only for me but for the readers. It’s tempting to add many categories, but it could make my blog homepage a little bit crowded. 😅

I think we over estimate Jony Ive design capabilities in general if you consider that design is also how it works. We have plenty of examples with bad design choices after Jobs death. Ports removal in a pro laptop, butterfly keyboard are just of them.

I’m getting ready to pack my things and offload 559 photos from my Nikon Zf to my MacBook Air for in-flight processing with Photomator (8 hours, mind you). It should be fun to relive my just-completed trip.

Reading a lunch menu in Spanish with Apple Translate. First experience with live translation. Pretty cool and useful. I know this has been available on the other platform for a long time but using in a real situation is handy. No need for an English menu.
