Honestly I’m rather curious to see what happens after Twitter implodes. Do we, as a society, step back or double down?

😱

So… Twitter is pretty much the one use case where it makes sense to ask “Can the blockchain save us?” right?

Who the fuck is in charge of Snapchat’s filters?

“Unlocking a Mac with an Apple Watch requires two-factor, not two-step, iCloud protection—what?”

Bought a renowned iOS productivity app after someone I trust wrote a long post about how awesome it is.

The UI looks like it was designed for Palm Pilot.

You didn’t have to… but you could have.

There must be a way to remove an account from Tweetbot on iOS but I can’t find it ¯\(ツ)/¯

An experiment to see how many accounts I can create with different filters over my face (with apologies to @fet_complains).

‘Hey Siri’ worked great during the watchOS beta but fails half the time since release.

I think I need to create a @garoo_complains account.

The Watch’s stupid aggregate notifications aren’t very compatible with Google Assistant’s conversational style

The iMessage App Store is gonna need a data deduplication algorithm

Hope the Spectacles come out soon because I’m really tempted to make a circular video capture + player app and that’d be a huge waste of my time.

The Internet of Things is being used as a DDoS botnet of unprecedented power

Not that I would be caught dead wearing those things but I’d love it if they started a round-video fad.

I hope the Spectacles really output video with a circular overlay because that’s hilarious and kinda cool

Hoping the “app extension issues” iOS 10.0.2 fixes include that user who left a 1-star review because the widget didn’t appear in the list.

I just super-liked someone on Tinder when I meant to scroll down on their profile. Goddamn UI traps.

Gave up on Safari because it has terrible performance with multiple tabs and with YouTube.

So now I’m… checking out Firefox 😳

Sierra opens the “Do you really want to change your default browser?” confirmation popup behind the active window — if not all windows ಠ_ಠ

I like Google Assistant’s tone better than Siri’s. But I’m a misanthropic nerd so maybe Apple is right not to cater to me.

I don’t give a fuck about the iPhone 7 anymore.

You understood perfectly what I want and you know what time it is 🙄

I’ve enabled Apple’s new 2FA and it keeps asking me codes and I’m super nervous about they day it fucks up and I’m locked out of everything.

Also I’m getting one support e-mail per fifty $1 app sold and I don’t think that’s sustainable.

My Drobo is dead, I’ve screwed up my iPhone backups and the world is dark and hostile.

And I completely understand why someone would think it’s a good idea not to switch immediately to an empty tab.

But it’s not.

Safari opening new tabs in the tab bar then not switching to them until the content has loaded, that’s new, right?

It sucks.

“Hands on with the iPhone 7 Plus’ crazy new Portrait mode”

Imperfect of course but very impressive

Oh yeah I forgot to say that the glossy iPhone is a gorgeous object, but everyone already knew that. Worth the fingerprints after all.

Sorry I didn’t have the presence of mind to point out that it would be the ultimate status symbol within weeks.

Young guy at the Apple Store table seemed obsessed with Jet Black but dejected that it didn’t broadcast “I have an iPhone!” like White.

On the other hand I absolutely cannot understand the enthusiasm for the OS haptics ¯\(ツ)/¯

I tried an iPhone 7 for five minutes in an Apple Store and I’m now completely disgusted with my old physical Home button.

Every OS update I try Safari again but don’t remember why I switched to Chrome and what to look for. This time I swear I’ll make a list.

Oh, the watchOS 3 feature I had been asking for exists — it’s just reserved for Series 2

I’m trying Safari again, as you do after any OS update, and I forgot how nice it is to have smooth scrolling.

You can run a Tilt Brush clone right in your (nightly build) web browser 😲

I’m only downloading Sierra, not even installing it yet 😨

This looks like a credible tool for checking the compatibility of your installed apps with Sierra

I literally cannot believe Google “reinventing Nexus” would result in lousy iPhone 6 copycats, complete with antenna lines

Beautiful. Owning several computers is totally an edge case among users who will enable sync

I was nervous about universal clipboard because of passwords, but this is perfect

Okay let’s be reasonable and not rush to install Sier—oops.

The Lightning adapter and Lightning EarPods do contain a DAC

Are people downloading it by mistake? Last-minute upgrading before Sierra? Or is the App Store really that dead?

What o_O

I’ve been hating all summer on iOS 10’s taller widgets, but I really like how my redesign came out.

If you’re so old you sync your music with iTunes AND organize it by rating: I updated my widget for iOS 10

So I guess the App Review team is recuperating from its GM-week overtime? (I mean, fair enough.)

No joke, every social app should have this. (And also an option to replace a user’s avatar while we’re at it.)

I get how that makes sense to get the best possible picture, but as a photography enthusiast I’d rather they just disabled the 2x setting.

Shooting at “2x” in low light, the 7 Plus will switch to digital zoom rather than use the slower “telephoto” lens

I mean ideally I should wait for the October keynote because you never know but, come on, as if.

Can’t believe I’ve had this MacBook Pro for two and a half years already. That makes it perfectly reasonable to buy a big new PC for VR!

And it probably makes sense because most people didn’t organize their widgets, but it makes the view significantly less useful for power users. Well, I guess that’s iOS for you.

iOS 10 remembering your scroll position in Today view completely defeats the point of putting the most important information at the top 😕

I still can’t believe they built a whole long-tweet API and they’re using it to effectively extend the limit by 20 characters 🙄

“iPhone 7 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Camera Test Comparison”

Samsung has much better OIS, autofocus, and sound.

A freemium vector drawing app smartly retooled to emphasize custom sticker creation

It works great for free, and syncs to iCloud so you can create stickers on iPad and use them on iPhone.

Logging into Slack: iOS adds a couple steps too many to the process but this is beautiful UX

Couldn’t find anything online about the physics involved in exposing an LCD screen to fire 😳

#donttrythisathome

The iTunes Connect app’s notifications are silent therefore the Watch just displays them without tapping. That makes sense.

It wouldn’t take anything away from AirPod and Beats because most people would prefer to go full-wireless, but it would satisfy audiophiles clinging to their expensive headphones.

Since Apple have said they aren’t gonna license the W1 chip — how about releasing a standalone Bluetooth receiver and battery?

Who would have believed that, in 2016, I’d be thinking “I wish I had stuck to web development, there’d be fewer compatibility issues.”

If this were a Mac I’d be able to find iMessage’s App Support folder in the backup and transfer all my old texts to the new install in five seconds 😡

And imagine if the only solution to MacBook trouble was to reformat and abandon any file that wasn’t stored in the cloud.

Starting over from a blank iOS does seem to cure my battery issues. How can an iPhone’s backup include information that fucks up battery management?

Adobe is working on machine learning-powered generative brushes

Not sure if it’s a bug or an annoying intentional change that Watch notifications (sometimes?) stay stuck on screen if I don’t act on them.

It would be so cool if iOS 11 made iMessage extensions compatible with any chat app that wants them. But that’s not the Apple way, is it.

I’m setting up my iPhone from a fresh iOS image but the App Store’s auth is overloaded so any app that checks its receipt refuses to run.

Aaaand my tarot reading app has a Messages extension, for free b/c business models are hard

Every year I try again. Every year they make me hate them.

The 8-ball was originally a SceneKit view that responded to physical shaking but that triggered the text field’s goddamn undo 😠

So I did an 8-ball for iMessage and I’m even selling it for actual money because #yolo

Is it really possible that the tenth version of iOS still bricks devices when the servers are overloaded?

So when I said the iMessage App Store launch wasn’t as bad as tvOS I didn’t think iOS 10 would end up as the update nobody dared to install.

Saw that in another game today… how can an SDK provider think spawning a user-facing popup is ever a good idea?

Ah, crap, I should update Uniconsole then… someday

The “telephoto” lens has no optical stabilization and is 1.5 f-stops slower

(Rationalizing the 4.7-inch choice.)

This article says only third-party cameras apps — the ones you can’t just open with a swipe on the lock screen — will support DNG RAW 😠

‘Fusion’ all the things! Also this is why it’s fine for the 7 Plus camera sensors to be reportedly smaller.

iTunes is still backing it up anyway though, so god only knows what’s gonna happen with that.

Turns out when you Reset All Settings it resets the backup too. And then this happens.

Some iOS 10 apps are out, some are “Pending Apple release” while blogs are browsing the App Store. Still not as bad as tvOS launch I guess.

Left my iPhone off all night (to meditate about its battery). Turned in on today. All text substitutions on my Mac disappeared altogether 😡

Second consequence: My text substitution shortcuts on my Mac returned to a previous, weeks-old version. iCloud is truly… miraculous.

I “Reset All Settings” on my iPhone (battery is acting up, last hope). First consequence: an unholy swarm of alert views when it reboots.

Isn’t it odd that two years later no one’s done this on iOS? Using the camera in video mode to get the data, you should be able to get a nice 4K photo on iPhone 6s.

Android has had a seemingly decent single-camera depth-of-field effect for two years

I just discovered this ‘Undo’ button. By instantly losing what I had typed.
