    Did anyone notice this new “time-based” page indicator on Apple.com?1. It is very well-designed and clever.

    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.

    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…) 😔

    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 →

    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.

    I’m super excited about this year’s iPhone announcements. It’s probably because I’m getting one of them1. I try to skip one or two iterations. I went from the iPhone 7 to the iPhone 11 Pro, then to the iPhone 13 Pro, and now the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’m looking forward to these improvements: the cameras2 and battery life3. Sure, the Dynamic Island will be cool. Oh, and USB-C, finally4! Continue reading →

    While Elon Musk wants the Twitter brand to disappear from the earth’s surface, you can see the Twitter icon and references everywhere on the web. X is not taking over at all. Services or apps that depend on Twitter for logging in, news sites asking people to join them via social networks, apps offering a sharing action or whatever the needs are, most continue to use Twitter’s original branding. In support of those who refuse to let go the little bird, here’s my contribution1.
