After three years of availability, I experienced the first App Clips case today. I was close to a Dairy Queen-type so I was presented with an App Clips allowing ordering from my iPhone. There aren’t a lot of App Clips, apparently.

This is how much forests burned so far this summer in Canada. ☹️ There are still close to a thousand fires still in action. This is freaking bad for so many reasons. First, we need forests to remove CO2. In a sense, removing trees diminishes the capacity of nature to limit climate change. We lose this capability. Second, all that burning created a lot of CO2. Third, it will take half a century to regain those lost forests.😔 It’s really hard to feel positive about our future.

Testing Apple's USB-C to Lightning Adaptor with iPad Pro
I wanted to follow up a previous post of mine about using my Lightning-based Lavalier microphone with a USB-C device, like my 2018 iPad Pro1. I ordered the USB-C to Lightning adaptor on the day of the Apple keynote. I got it this morning. If you are wondering if it works with Ferrite and Apple’s Voice Memos on my iPad Pro? No, it doesn’t.😔 A positive conclusion would have been a good sign on the prospect of making it work with the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro Max. Continue reading →

Ordered. I’ll wait before buying a case from Apple because I’m not sure about the new FineWoven texture and durability. Some YouTubers said the feeling to the touch is similar to suede and I’m not a fan. #iphone15pro #iphone15promax

An Update About My New Quest of Leaving Adobe Lightroom
Yesterday night, I spent nearly an hour reading articles and forum posts about the implications of closing my Adobe Photography subscription1. The implications and how to recover my photos differ for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC. It’s not that hard, but it will be a tedious process if I want to keep some organization that the Lightroom catalog currently provides. I’ll put this project on my list of things to do in 2024.

How do you get out of Adobe Lightroom? What if I want to focus on Photomator and Pixelmator instead?

“Get Ready for iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro” on Apple.com1, is this new, or was it available for the iPhone 14 launch last year? I find this to be a great way to limit frustration on the day the new iPhones will go on sale (tomorrow). 🤔

The new website feature enables anyone to build their iPhone order, including setting up the return of the older iPhone for a credit. In theory, on the day of availability, you’ll click “Buy”. ↩︎

Experimenting with reading my Micro.blog timeline in RSS mode with Reeder. It’s surprisingly very effective for catching up on the last 12 hours of posts. It is, in fact, more effective than reading past posts on the website.

Apple Wonderlust Event — My Initial Impressions
These are my impressions of Apple’s latest product announcements. The mother nature segment was funny, and I smiled quite often. It was a great way to communicate their progress toward better environmental protection and reduced carbon footprint. Video production quality was top-notch. Aren’t tech press people tired of going to Apple Park to watch a movie? Many comments during the presentation about the desire by Apple to see people go into their stores to buy and activate the new iPhones1. Continue reading →

First world problem: got this mic for my recordings (YouTube / Podcasts / ScreenFlow). Works fine. Now: how do I plug this into an iPhone 15 Pro with USB-C? 🤦🏻♂️ Can’t find an adapter with microphone support (many are audio out only…) 😔

And It’s the right time to take a screenshot 📸 of apple.com before it gets revamped and refreshed tomorrow with some new stuff. 👀

My Excitement About the Upcoming iPhones Explained
Here are some more details about my excitement for the next iPhone1. Besides the camera upgrades, here is a short list of things I’m looking forward to with the next iPhones. I’m going to the Max. It’s the first Max model that I’m getting2. I expect better battery life than the iPhone 14 Pro Max3. I want a real all-day battery life for when I travel abroad. I never liked the current chrome finish of the Pro line (since the iPhone 12 Pro)4. Continue reading →

Pixelfed Is Working on “Solo”
I’m really curious about this. The idea of having my personal instance of Pixelfed is tempting. I like the idea of having full control and not being at the mercy of some other admin, updating the codebase as I wish while being part of the Pixelfed federation1. It’s expected to be released on October 20th. I should start planning my domain name and username.2 Of course, other instance could decide to block mine, but that’s not going to happen, unless I’m being a bad actor in the federation.
