I’m starting to warm up to Tapestry… I’ll expand my testing of it this week-end!

I can’t stand watching and listening to Musk for more than five minutes. He is such a bad speaker, really. I think he should let someone else talk for him, like one of his robots, it might be much better and bearable.

I’ve been using my M4 iPad Pro hooked to an external display all day at the office (forgot to bring my MacBook Pro!) and boy… I don’t know who’s fault but using apps like Teams and Outlook on the external display is rough. It might be Apple’s fault for not evangelizing enough the iPad in this business environment or Microsoft’s for not taking the iPad seriously enough to spend the resources on testing their shit on this configuration.

Anyway, the iPad has come a long way since 2010…

When I created my Ko-fi page, I said that I would be sharing more personal stories about me on it. Today, I just did. Plus, my supporters are getting a free perk. Want to become a supporter too? Thanks.

iPhone mirroring on macOS Sequoia is so handy. For example, getting a notification on my iPhone to approve a request in the MFA application is so handy.

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.

I’m happy to share the newest edition of my Ephemeral Scrapbook newsletter. Email version coming out much later today.

Back home. Feeling good. Returning to normal programming soon. 🤗

What is the fuss with Automattic lately? Missed something apparently. 🤨

WTF? 😳 A “social” network with AI-based-only followers? Really? Are we that desperate?

I have a love & hate relationship with the US as a country. Going to Las Vegas today for a four-day business trip falls in the “hate” part because I think we cannot have those Las Vegas cities any longer. This city is everything but real. I hate to see our resources spoiled like that.

I like the physical design, but it is too flush with the iPhone flat edge for my taste. It is easier to use with my thumb while the iPhone is in portrait mode. The required pressure to take a photo makes me shake1 which is not always good when taking a photo in low light conditions. I kind of … read more

Here is a tip for those upgrading to an Apple Watch Series 10 while still having their previous generation device¹. If you want to start fresh but would like to recreate some of your watch face configurations from your older device: after having installed your watch apps, simply share each watch face with yourself over iMessage from your older device. You’ll then be able to install these on your new device very easily right from iMessage on the watch.

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.

I plan to go to the Apple Store tomorrow and see the new stuff since I can’t make it today. Maybe I’ll get the Series 10 if the one I want is available. I’ll unpair and reset my Series 6 as I’ll get $75 credit for it.

I’m rather happy to skip the iPhone 16 this year. Next year, Apple Intelligence will be more broadly available and more mature, the iPhone 17 will gain more hardware to support Apple Intelligence the newest features, too. As a blogger, Apple Intelligence writing tools are very handy and a year from now, most if not all my go-to apps will gain support for these. On the photography side, I expect more meaningful upgrades to the cameras.

The iPhone 16 this year is so iterative in nature that many YouTube reviewers separated the review into two rather short parts: the unboxing (generally less than 10 min¹) and the general review (rarely more than 15 min).

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