  • It’s probably my best screenshot of yesterday’s Scary Fast event. Happy Halloween, everyone! πŸ‘»

  • Apple to Intel-based Mac users: “It’s really the best time to upgrade!”1.


    1. Less subtle message: In case you didn’t notice, Apple revolutionized personal computers two years ago. Wake-up! ↩︎

  • Glass Opens Up a Little Bit More

    Glass feels right at home in Capture One. Long adored as one of the best platforms for editing and managing a photography workflow, we’re thrilled to include publishing to Glass in Capture One. The final step in the creative process is sharing the work you’ve made β€” making that as easy … read more

  • Getting mentally ready for a business trip to Las Vegas next week. I’ll try to put my 15 Pro Max to the test with night photographyπŸŒƒ. It’s been three years since the last travel, thanks to COVID. Can’t wait to see this city where everything happening in Las Vegas stays there. It better be1.


    1. I don’t play slot machines. I hate that. ↩︎

  • Remember when it was simple to buy an iPad? Now it is getting harder to buy an Apple Pencil, too.

  • My favorite Apple Watch face of all time.

  • A Definitive Solution to a Simple Problem

    I finally found the right setup to definitively fix my audio record quality. The problem triggering this endless trial-and-error journey is that the Blue Yeti microphone can be too sensitive and pick up too much background noise1. On paper, the macOS Voice Isolation recording should fix this. … read more

  • I just received my Nomad leather case for my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Best case I ever used on an iPhone. Better than Apple’s leather case. It complements the Peak Design one for use with my bike. Another great case, btw. Not cheap but well worth it. πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

  • Who remembers this? Countless moments were spent looking at this back in 1984 and 1985. It’s one of Apple’s best and most timeless designs, even if it’s beige1.

  • I’m still in my early phase with my iPhone 15 Pro Max πŸ“ΈπŸ“±. Taking photos with this phone offers more possibilities, asking for more thoughts while shooting a scene. Am I the only one who wished Apple had created a profiling questionnaire during the iPhone setup, asking questions to determine our general experience level with photography? Depending on our answers, parameters would be set accordingly. ☝🏻

  • I made discoveries today while doing some much-needed cleanup in my home office. Here, this is what could be the first Apple dongle1. More to come soon… πŸ‘€


    1. This box was an AppleTalk network junction box. The smaller beige piece was for connecting two AppleTalk cables. ↩︎

  • Peak Design Case Issue With iPhone 15 Pro Action Button

    For those looking to buy a Peak Design case for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, just like I did. I love the case but… here’s the kicker; the action button is really hard to press with this case, the cutout should have a button instead which would press the action button, just like for the other … read more

  • What a Strange iCloud Drive Bug!

    I have a folder named “Noto” in my iCloud Drive folder that keeps populating empty folders inside of it, on all my devices. Noto is a note-taking app that I tried in Feb. 2020. Today, I found out that I had more than 30K empty folders sitting there. I deleted the folders from my Mac … read more

  • When adding widgets on macOS Sonoma, there should be a visual cue telling me which widgets are coming from the iPhone vs from installed apps on my Mac. This screenshot shows two Dayone instances, and Fitness Totals is on my iPhone.☝🏻

  • What happens when you run Micro.blog.app and the web app side by side? Here is a peek at Activity Monitor on the memory consumption tab. There’s the native app. Fine. But, for each web app, Sonoma seems to spin three other processes (Graphics, Networking, and some root process using the web app URL name). Fascinating. Native apps don’t consume as much memory.

  • I’m weak. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

  • Why do I always feel nervous when changing my Apple ID password? 😨

  • One of the most confusing parts of iOS and iPadOS UI: configuring the share sheet options. The βŠ• sign and the toggle meaning are utterly confusing each time I visit this portion of the UI. The fact that some non-favourite items can be toggled on or off is probably part of the explanation for my confusion. I’m confused about my confusion. I must be getting old. πŸ‘΄πŸ»

  • Shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max with the telephoto lens, at 25x digital zoom. The best I could do with a lot of post-processing tweaks (tweaked the saturation, highlight, contrast, sharpening, noise reduction, etc.) πŸ˜…

  • I finally found THE use case for the Action Button: running a shortcut1 to 1) take a screen capture and 2) run the Apple Frame shortcut. It’s super handy. The camera already has a button on the screen that is easier to grab when I want to take a picture.


    1. Haptly named “Action Button”. ↩︎
