Dear #Apple, It is 2026. It's time to fix the unable to eject my SD card reader because one or more programs may be using it. YOU KNOW WHICH PROCESSES. GIVE US A FLIPPING WAY OUT OF THIS OTHER THAN REBOOTING MY COMPUTER THAT DOES BILLIONS OF OPERATIONS A SECONDS. Sincerely, Someone who wants to shoot some drone footage without these hassles. Feedback: Will be filed when I am less yelly.

Switching to #siriai has been an overnight transformation to Siri in the same way that starting Zepbound was for my health.

I wonder which API Battle.net is using. UIScenes are required for iOS 27. What is dropped in 28? Is 28 a bug in this notification?! #askmehowiknow #apple #macos27 Clicking the notification took me to the Rosetta page heh. I thought that as gone in 27?

The support for my Iliyo charger purchase (EVRA ENERGY LLC) has been fantastic. I had issues with Apple Pay on iOS 27. They made changes. IN FOUR DAYS. Scrolling the cart would scroll the website behind the car. THEY FIXED THAT TOO. I mean, FOUR DAYS after I emailed them. My shipment arrived with one charger and Shop said the order was delivered. They responded in AN HOUR on my SUNDAY said so sorry, it's one FedEx, one UPS. They also asked why I don't like Shop. Fantastic!

This is a shortcut for #apple #macOS27 #visionOS27 #iOS27 that will describe what is on the clipboard for a social media alt text of 1500 characters or less. I used the term "blind" in the model description to be as clear as possible to the computer, since it is after all, a computer. This shortcut will replace what is on the clipboard with the description with no feedback, so beware! I am using this until @ivory@tapbots.social supports this natively in the Mac and iOS apps. https...

@CStamp@mastodon.social @octothorpe@mastodon.online @Dex@scalie.club it keeps the car in the lanes, it knows how to take curves and it’s all open source. I still steer when it’s clear it won’t handle a curve but it removes a lot of traffic stress. It’s awesome. So many cars drive by wire already, steering, braking, even if you ignore recent advancements.

Dashcams are great. When an incident occurs, they record your location in the @atpfm@mastodon.social episode that you are listening to.

I scaled up the NASA Artemis II photos with Pixelmator Pro, and the black of space is still pixelated. I wonder if the astronauts shot JPEG+RAW and we can get the RAW photos somewhere?

I misspoke last week that Match had removed some audio from when it was first launched. It was under Library, not Apple Music. I was confused because when I searched, Music showed the albums and said &quot;no longer available&quot; cc @caseyliss

Very happy with the Kuycon 32GP for my needs so far. I like that it is glossy and bright. At night. I have taken to turning off the overhead light and turning on the key light in my face but at like 5 or 10%.

Final Cut Pro is disappointingly buggy. Like major portions of a short timeline just don&#39;t render buggy. Basic stuff. What a bummer.

Documents and Desktop in iCloud Drive has been so reliable (I do have offsite backups) that I would happily pay for more storage. We are using 900gb/2tb so have plenty of headspace, but this experience of my data everywhere has been just awesome. #Apple #iclouddrive

Fun fact for people concerned about data in iCloud Drive: I have more data stored in Messages than I do in iCloud Drive for ALL of my documents (sans iMove and FCP projects)

I cannot overemphasize how good this ASUS OLED 42” monitor continues to look for #WorldOfWarcraft It is simply stunning. Which is why my dps is low. I’m always stunned. 😂

@octothorpe@mastodon.online Thanks! It is mostly just going to be "oh I will simply do this task" and then find out it is not simple.
