Did someone at Apple forget to generate the delta patch from 27.1?

USB-C changed things from cables that didn’t always fit but worked when they did, to cables that always fit but don’t always work.

Visiting Montreal for work and decided to try AirPods Live Translation for the flight attendant instructions… Maybe a warning about exchange rates?

No idea how new this is, but the App Store now uses 50% of the screen to show an ad for the thing you weren’t searching for. Gotta keep growing that services revenue I guess!

Though it does seem just adding ‘gpt’ at the start will send things straight to ChatGPT ‘gpt what restaurants in Vegas have gluten free items on their menu’ etc

So far the ChatGPT integration in the iOS 18.2 beta is just a) showing how much better the answers are than Siri, and b) making me wish I could make ChatGPT the default for questions (vs device actions)

One of the most impressive things made in UEFN. So far :)

It’s neat how VisionOS uses Personas to emulate a front-facing camera so web apps and iPad apps “just work”.

Apple Vision Pro pick up - No lines. It seemed like any weekday morning. The display models in the store weren't drawing much attention. People just walked past them. I got to choose between taking my order, trying the fit, or going through a ~20m demo. I picked the latter.

I tried my “time of order" light seal (21w) and a result I got later (33w). I went back and forth and couldn’t tell the difference. Demos were in a new (I think) small circular seating area. There were 4-5 other people.

What the hell is this new “continue reading in our app” insanity?

Still my all time favorite piece of Star Wars merch. Beware of overly dark sides!

The “leak of the email threatening leakers” is always a sign things are going well.

NEW: Elon Musk is threatening to sue Twitter employees who leak confidential information to the press. He's asking staffers to sign a pledge indicating they've understood. Here's the email:
Celebrating my 20-something year of increasing the width of the “Configuration” drop-down from the default of 65 pixels on a new Visual Studio install 🥳

The code reviews will continue until morale improves!

Replying to @GergelyOrosz
The email writes devs need to showcase what they did the last *10* days - since the last code review on Friday, 18 November. It's been 5 business days since, and that assumes people did not take a break for Thanksgiving. Most people would take off Thu & Fri, making it 3 days.

I find myself starting to root for Twitter to spectacularly fail, simply so there’s no danger people ever correlate success with these capricious leadership moves and cultish loyalty/purity tests

Update: Twitter's management STILL trying to recruit back experienced software engineers who left Twitter last week, opting in to not be part of the "hardcore" Twitter 2.0. Wonder how many of them return, knowing they also can be fired at any time based on a single code review.
