    Question to Apple folks with access to radar: When I file a feedback report, is it a good idea to use markdown formatting, or not?

    Harter Text zur re:publica und dem Milieu drum herum. Er hat leider in vielen Punkten Recht: https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/konferenz-re-publica-die-letzte-party-auf-der-titanic-a-5bf8fc9b-c86b-45d7-a25b-41888bd62992

    Smart Home is full of weird and misguided product rollouts, but Moduel, who succeed Ikeas ASKVADER takes the cake: ⁃ They invent and patent modular power strips and do all the R&amp;amp;D ⁃ They license it to ikea for 2 years and it sells succesfully ⁃ Then it&amp;#39;s taken off the market for a year ⁃ Inventor re-introduces it on their own, sell via a super sketchy website, for twice the price https://matter-smarthome.de/en/products/moduel-snap-together-power-strip-with-matter-support/

    I hope at some point #Xcode will be multi-window again. I want the console in an extra window. I want (multiple!) Previews in extra windows. I want the AI in an extra window. When at my desk I have a Studio Display, the internal MacBook screen, and potentially an iPad screen with SideCar. Yet I can only really use the main Studio Display. Please go back to what macOS was made for and what it was good at. If they don&amp;#39;t make Xcode for iPad, what&amp;#39;s the point of the one-window inte...

    1. Encounter an Apple/Xcode error (Today: Building Tests for simulators fail if there&amp;#39;s a macro in the project, because the macro&amp;#39;s macOS thing accidentally gets included in the simulators linker). 2. Have AI analyze it and try a fix. 3. AI confirms it can&amp;#39;t fix it, because it&amp;#39;s on Apple. 4. Have AI make a minimal sample project. 5. Have AI draft a Feedback report. 6. File Feedback. 7. Wait.

    Developers paying for Siri integration? This is super weird and doesn’t make sense. https://9to5mac.com/2026/05/13/apple-wants-apps-to-integrate-with-siri-in-ios-27-but-one-fear-holds-some-back-report/

    Just learned about „WhatCable&amp;quot; that can read out the e-Marker chips on a USB-C cable and tell you what the cable is actually capable of. https://github.com/darrylmorley/whatcable Apparently works via IOKit. How&amp;#39;s a UI for that that not a system feature on every Apple device with a USB-C Port?

    RE: https://objc.social/@macguru17/116596199792021633 This is a sort of bug that should have been caught in beta (or better: with tests) and never been shipped. Update: They knew about this, included it in the release notes, and shipped anyways?!? WTF?

    Good to see that the #Matter Ecosystem is becoming mature enough for new companies to build on it. Not just existing companies switching to it, but new ones that wouldn&amp;#39;t have existed without it. This one sounded weird to me at first — the builder/installer ecosystem is weird — until I saw who backs it. https://mash-home.com

    Watching the Google IO Keynote. Super sceptical about all this, because while it&amp;#39;s impressive: Who wants a life like this? It’s not just Google who&amp;#39;s creepy, we are used to that by now. What&amp;#39;s new, is that it&amp;#39;s the user who&amp;#39;s creepy, too.

    There is already a civilization that died tonight, and that&amp;#39;s the American civilization. The person they elected as their leader opted their country out of the „civilized&amp;quot; world, that at least aspires to have rules and opposes war crimes. Every American should be deeply ashamed to be represented this way.

    The more I work with Claude &amp;amp; Codex, I think two points are equally true: ⁃ I could not have done this without the AI ⁃ The AI could not have done this without me. I’m no longer stuck and I’m excited for what I’m building. This is going to be sooooo good.
