Build it and they will come (#ipadpro #m1chip)
The way I look at this upcoming M1 iPad Pro is, according to this interview with some Apple’s top brass, Apple thinks that, by building a powerful iPad (not referred as a tablet), developers will find a way to take advantage of it. Like the old saying: build it and they will come. Did Apple create performance headroom for themselves too, not just for third-party developers? Apple certainly wants some form of future proofing with this year’s iterative design. Continue reading →

Back to the 2005 Internet — Thanks to NextDNS (#notracking #nextdns)
This is not an ad. I promise. I finally decided to enable NextDNS on all my devices and subscribed to their yearly plan after testing it on my iOS devices. The last configuration applied was on my M1 Mac mini. Oh boy, surfing the web feels like the internet back in the days. Places like CNN or iPhoneInCanada or MacRumors are now without any ads and are crazy fast to load. Continue reading →

About My Numeric Citizen Introspection newsletter
My next newsletter issue is nearly done. On Substack, I’m not a big name in the blogger sphere or a journalist dropping from places like the New York Times. Yet, I enjoy putting together this monthly newsletter, and I generally like the end results. Subscribers are staying and keep increasing over time. It’s a good sign, I guess. Are you one of them? https://numericcitizen.substack.com Continue reading →

It’s that simple: choice. That’s all we are asking, us, humans. Thinking otherwise is wrong doing. Simple. as. that. Thanks to Apple for letting me, decide, have a choice, not to be part of being a product, just be a human. [www.youtube.com/watch

Happy Apple Updates Day! (#apple #ios145 #notracking #stoptracking)
To all my followers, have an successful Apple update day! This one has been long in coming! Don’t forget to disable app tracking as soon as you can. Best way to say “🖕🏻” to Facebook et al. Now turning to iOS 14.6 beta which seems to bring new devices support only (2021 iPad Pro). Continue reading →

As much as I like HEY, Mr. @DHH, Basecamp fails big time here: lack of universal binary support in release 1.2. You may spit your hate about Apple all the time, yet you fail to meet such a basic feature, months after M1 release, for a simple app as a mail client. Drop Electron!!

About these iPadOS 15 rumours (#apple #rumours #ipados15)
According to the infamous Bloomberg (remember the Big Hack story?), iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 will bring two much requested features. One is, for the iPhone presumably, is a redesigned Lock Screen. I’m in for that one. In fact, I would prefer a customizable Lock Screen, more than a redesign. But, the most interesting part is regarding the iPad. At long least, Apple is about to bring the full widgets experience on the iPad. Continue reading →

As I’m currently writing my thoughts on Apple’s “Spring Loaded” event, I’m wondering what are your thoughts? Anything that stands out? I’m genuinely curious. #appleevent #applevent2021

One of those days (#appleevent)
This is one of those days where it will be hard to stay focused, thanks to the first Apple Event of 2021. I’ve got a pretty busy schedule at work, so I won’t be able to catch the live feed with full attention this time around. I know that all these notifications will spoil the show. Rumours and leaks already made a great job already, though. But, what if there is “one more thing”? Continue reading →

Here is a post I wish I would have written. He nailed it. We won’t get iPadOS 15 tomorrow.

On Facebook’s pervasive destruction (#deletefacebook #stopmasssurveillance)
Today I woke up with this idea of hating Facebook and everything they represents. For those who know me, this is nothing new. But today is one of those days where I despise Facebook more than ever. Let’s face it, again: Facebook has made massive data collection an ordinary thing. Facebook normalized global surveillance a mundane fact. Facebook is killing the pillars of democracy without fanfare. Facebook has turned most of us a beast feeders. Continue reading →

HEY World slowly fading... but... (#thoughts #blogging)
From time to time, I use the « HEY World Shuffle » URL to trigger the display of a randomly chosen HEY World user website. It’s funny as I never know what discovery I’ll make. I see a lot of users who made their first try of the service in its early days by sending random thoughts. The vast majority of users didn’t bother to continue but a few did, and there are a few gems to discover. Continue reading →

HEY World missing button
I wish there would be a “Reply to the author” button on HEY World user website. As it is now, I cannot find an easy and quick way to respond to a past post. I prefer to consume HEY World content through RSS feeds, not by subscribing via email. I’m on HEY World, by the way. https://world.hey.com/jf.m. ☝🏻👋🏻 Continue reading →

iPhone is getting fatter and fatter (#apple #jonyive)
iPhone is getting fatter and fatter (#apple #jonyive) Since Jony Ive left Apple, a few years ago, the iPhone design adopted an opposite trend of becoming fatter and fatter. It’s not a night and day difference but there is a trend. It is a welcomed one because this gives Apple more “room” to improve the cameras and the battery life. Speaking of the cameras, did you see the camera assembly protuberance on the CAD designs? Continue reading →
