  • European Commission Orders Apple To Improve Third-Party Device Integration

    Today’s decisions wrap us in red tape, slowing down Apple’s ability to innovate for users in Europe and forcing us to give away our new features for free to companies who don’t have to play by the same rules.

    Apple crying that they have to allow other things work with their devices, other than more of their devices. Yep more proof of it were need they care about the bottom line not users.

  • Just slap an LLM on the front end—how hard can it be?

    You can’t get there just by LLM-ing harder and faster.

    The realisation that you can’t just slap an hallucination machine on something and it power you tech is fast approaching.

    Imagine hiring someone and they just make stuff up at the level LLMs do. I get it, they’re useful, I use them loads but I don’t want them powering my device, I wouldn’t trust one to even set my alarm.

  • Becoming That Guy

    There’s a strange thing that happens to people when they become known to do something. It could be a certain position at a company, a hobby, or even a topic they are particularly passionate about. Once they reach a certain point, they lose themselves and become ‘that guy’ and it becomes difficult to shake. Unfortunately, that’s been me for quite a while. I’ve spoken to people about this before, for example, Daryl Baxter, for a while, was ‘the iPad guy,’ and it took years for him to shake it.

  • Nick Heer in An Age Range API Is Coming to iOS Later This Year

    it makes complete sense for age verification to be part of a child’s Apple Account information instead of collected individually by third-party apps.

    I can’t understand why this is only now a thing. It’s been right in front of everyone the whole time whilst they’ve been pointing in every other direction.

  • The Dent in ⭐️ Owning your own space and content is important

    Your posts will find a niche, if you want them to, and if not you would have still carved out your own little patch of the internet, ripe for growing something special.

    Seeing Andy encourage people to blog is not what I expected from 2025. But I love it!

  • Writing Checks To Yourself

    In recent times, a notion has been repeatedly mentioned by a certain type of self-proclaimed intellectual. You know the kind: those bead-wearing, ayahuasca-drinking, podcast-interviewing types. They have a saying that goes something like, “Do something now that your future self will thank you for.” This modern mantra is an updated version of something my grandfather used to say, “Write some checks for yourself.” It’s a wonderful way to think about life, though I doubt the aforementioned tribe even know what checks are.

  • Finding The Third Place

    Here in contains number 3442 of ways that I can over spend and overthink my relationship with technology. I am well aware of my shortfall as a human, my ability to appear moronic, and you should not take any advice from my blog posts or podcast appearances. I annoy myself far more than I annoy you, so please know this before reading on. Since writing about the MacStories iPad Mini review, I’ve been thinking about a lot about my relationship to technology again.

  • Shortcuts Not Share Sheet

    Presently, I’m taking a bit of a break from being online. I’ve spent so much time looking at things, testing features, and replying to people getting ready for Micro Social to launch that I am a bit burnt out. It’s at this point that I realise the importance of iOS Shortcuts and the great API Micro.blog has. I’ve been making things using Shortcuts for years. Back when it was Workflow, it essentially powered my day-to-day life, including my company.
