My newest photo series on Glass: Humans.

Migration in progress … 😎

I’ve been playing with Glass Series and I must say that I really like my experience with it so far. Series are like albums, like this example.

Leaving Haiti. 😍

Great use of Apple offline Maps in Miami. Works wonderfully well.

Why can’t I get macOS 15.2 beta on my M2 MacBook Air running 15.1?

This year, as I explained in this article, I completed a migration from Adobe to Photomator. I rarely use Pixelmator Pro, but I’m a fan of Photomator. I hope this week’s news won’t make me regret my decision.

Did anyone catch the pirate flag during the Mac mini announcement or on the mini website? 👀😉 I like this reference to Apple’s history.

For those using macOS 15.1 and have enabled Apple Intelligence, have you noticed a spike in your Mac CPU usage when requesting Apple Intelligence to proofread text? The longer the text, the more pronounced the spike. The CPU will reach 100% for a moment before slightly decreasing before receiving a response. Interestingly, I couldn’t identify an AI-related process associated with this spike. Instead, the kernel_task process is the one who consumes the CPU cycles. Apparently, Apple Intelligence runs in the kernel space.

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 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.

The iPhone 16’s back seems prone to scratching. I saw it today at the Apple Store. But I like this year’s colors.

More crowded than usual of course. 🤗

**Apple Watch backups** are not working, they never did. This is what I see on my iPhone now, two old backups, once probably worthless because of it ridiculous small size. Another proof: after unpairing my Series 6 this morning before going to the Apple Store to get a credit for it[^1], no sign of new backups in the Watch.app. Big fail Apple. We are at Series 10 / iOS 18 for fuck sake! [^1]: I'm upgrading to Series 10.

This is the default option for user profiles on... **LinkedIn**. Did you know that? Thoughts?

The fact that apparently Microsoft is not using an Intel CPU for their Cloud PC instances says a lot about Intel’s future.
