Eating a Lot of Apples (my Apple computing journey)
I've been thinking about buying a MacBook lately. I don't have a proper need for one at the moment, so I'm giving it time (well, as long as the AIpocalypse will let me 🫠), but I've been keeping an eye on it. The performance to price value (again, pre-AIpocalypse) is fucking wild and macOS genuinely...
Apple Maps will power built-in navigation on Ford’s Universal EV Platform
Apple and Ford announced today that Apple Maps will serve as the built-in navigation system for Ford's upcoming Universal Electric Vehicle Platform. The integration runs through a new software development kit from Apple called MapKit for Automotive, and it arrives
Disabling Siri
I only ever use Siri to set timers and turn on Do Not Disturb. It's pretty good at those things. It is very, very bad at many other things.

Musikvertrieb wechseln: Ich habe keine Nerven mehr
Leute, ich muss den Musikvertrieb wechseln. Jetzt wird mir das echt zu bunt, was Ditto Music alles so veranstaltet. Sie können es nicht mehr. Ich habe für all das Affentheater, was da der britische Musikvertrieb so treibt, einfach keine Nerven mehr. Ich will meine Musik einfach nur zu allen Streamingdiensten und Download-Portalen bringen und dafür...
My new MacBook Neo
At the end of last month, my new MacBook Neo arrived. This is my first new computer since 2018, and specifically my first new Apple computer since 2010. In this (rather long) post, I'm going to go through my rationale for going back to Mac OS after 8 years on Windows, and review the computer....

1984 - snow white
I have a hazy, potentially false memory of a computer hiding in my dad’s closet before our family workstation arrived. In my mind's eye, I can still picture playing a game featuring a little cursor turtle, though I’ve never been able to find any hard evidence to prove that mystery machine actually existed. What I do know for certain is that sometime right after my fifth birthday in 1984, both the revolutionary new Apple Macintosh and the sleek Apple IIc were sitting side-by-side on the showroom ...

Firefox rendering SVGs as cross-hatched blocks
This has been an ongoing issue for me for some time and I've been unable to wade through the AI-generated search slop to find an answer. Basically, SVGs are incorrectly rendered in Firefox, making a number of sites unusable. Here is the web terminal of my Home Assistant in Firefox: Here is the same screen...

I Escaped the Apple Ecosystem – It Backfired (mrwhosetheboss)
https://youtu.be/lE_11_paGoA Pretty good video explaining how moving away the Apple ecosystem is not that frictionless, especially when there are things that can be considered dealbreakers. I relate a lot to how bad it was for Arun to go for a non-Apple smartwatch, as my Apple Watch has been immensely helpful for dealing with the worst...

1996 - what's next
On Dec. 20, 1996, Apple announced that it had purchased NeXT Computer: When Apple CEO Gil Amelio hosted a press conference in Cupertino's Garden Room to announce the $429 million cash-and-stock acquisition of NeXT, I was right in the middle of my senior year of high school. At the time, my digital world was entirely defined by Windows 95, split between a generic home desktop and a basic laptop. In fact, I hadn't actually touched an Apple product since using an Apple IIc back in the mid-1980s. Ye...
Midlife iPhone overhaul
Last month marked three years since I bought my iPhone 13 Mini. Unfortunately, it was starting to show its age a little - the battery was not holding charge very well, and the charger port was being awkward, which exacerbated the charging issue. I quite like the size of the iPhone 13 Mini, and I'm...

Ternus Heading Apple Is Good for XR
John Ternus taking the helm at Apple might be the most significant pivot for XR in a decade. My POV on why a 1990s VR pioneer is exactly the disciplined skeptic the Vision Pro needs to thrive. 👇 John's an early 90s VR engineer turned skeptic. He views Vision Pro through a lens of profitability and focus (similar to the canceled Car project). This isn't a lack of vision, but a rare 30-year view on the medium that allows him to filter hype from commercial reality.
