Oopsy, Apple! You Download the App and it Doesn’t Work

If Apple starts the transition from Intel to ARM with lowest volume Mac, I would have expected they do it starting with the Mac mini. Kuo confirms ARM at WWDC: 13.3-inch MacBook Pro and new 24-inch iMac will be the first ARM Macs, released as soon as Q4 - 9to5Mac

Apple’s ARM-based Macs (aggressive) transition plans… these rumours seems to point to a much more aggressive transition than I was expecting… Apple must know a few things that we don’t which could explain such an expedited transition. #wwdc2020 #wwdc www.macrumors.com/2020/06/2… Continue reading →

Dear Apple AirPort Extreme users, watch this space for something that could change your tech life forever. numericcitizen.me

I’m not very optimistic on the outcome of the “HEY vs Apple” battle. Both, in their own ways, are arrogant, blinkered and calling out each other. Each will lose their face with a concession, even if it’s small. Big egos against each other here. Meanwhile, potential users on iOS will suffer from the lack of much needed app updates. This could be a deal breaker for many users like me. HEY is losing, Apple is losing, users are losing. Continue reading →

The previous tweeted quote about Basecamp/HEY founders attitude was a clip from a newsletter that I have created and that I’m receiving each day. The quote is not from Mailbrew themselves but from Benedict Evans. I should have been more precise.

About HEY/Basecamp founders. Found on the Internet.  😳

We didn’t get an iOS 13.6 beta this week… final release next week?

It is fun to compare HEY and Micro.blog. They both depend on open web standards on the backend. HEY depends on SMTP while Micro.blog depends on HTTPS/HTML. HEY wants to re-invent the end-user experience while Micro.blog provides a pretty much generic end-user experience. By turning the end-user experience upside down, HEY doesn’t rely on IMAP. This is where some people turns their back to HEY (there may be other reasons, though). Continue reading →

Some (not many) interesting ideas for iOS 14 here. www.behance.net

Can’t wait for Apple to make iOS 13 look outdated next week. #wwdc #wwdc2020

Now, as a potential customer of HEY!, what I want to hear or read from @DHH is: what’s next? How are they tackling the problem in order to comply? Will they comply? I want to support their new platform AND their cause, but from a user standpoint, they have to put out a plan and communicate it ASAP. My 14 days trial will end on July 1st. I want to know before making a 99$ commitment. Continue reading →

As an Apple observer for more than four decades (yep!), I rarely seen such a public relation mess like the one this week, a week before WWDC. Apple messed up big time with the worst possible timing by alienating their developers. On top of that, their definition of apps that doesn’t work upon startup is already being smashed by so many counter-examples. This is a complete mess and I don’t know how Apple will get out of this shit. Continue reading →

‪“30% is way too high!!!”. Why? On what basis this is too high? What is “not too high”? And on what basis? Is it because you have no choice that you find it too high? #apple #apps #appstore #AppStoreAntitrust ‬

Looks like Apple’s “free run" is about to come to an end. #apps #appstore #2020

Woah. So. Nice. twitter.com/andrewapr…

First day with Hey. Love it so far. A bit disorienting at first. Old habits don’t die easily. Forwarded five email accounts. A few email source already screened out. A few clips created from Mailbrew’s Newsletter that I receive. A few tags too. Stay tuned for more comments. #hey

Bravo. How many takes the time to “clean up” gathered online accounts? Privacy protection has many many facets. m.signalvnoise.com/celebrati…

Thanks to a good samaritan, I’m now on HEY! So far so good. Strait forward onboarding. Very approahable in general. Enabled 2FA and email forwarding. Stay tuned for a more complete review sometime in the near future. 😎👨🏻‍💻
