@Theorem_Poem the two “n” at the end of the first name gave it away? 🫣😛

@Theorem_Poem that’s my point here: you can’t change how your name is spelt and suddenly expect good stuff come your way and the universe bend itself over for you 🙃🙆🏽‍♂️

I can&#39;t be the only one on the iOS Folks Slack group mainly for the #food channel, right? RIGHT?

@aaron_pearce ooo, I can see this being very handy. Couldn’t you coalesce and serialise the commands and send it to the camera for the diagonals?
Post #2771057
@aaron_pearce ah dang! That’s a lot of custom logic then. This can still be enabled for cameras that you know support it? BTW, which cameras support this? Curious as I’m due for an upgrade for my home’s system.

Apple Music has no business looking this good (since iOS 26.4?) 👏🏼

Last working day of the week for me. I could get used to 4-day weekdays.

I was under the same impression until March 2026, when I met some talented people at the  Developer Center in Bengaluru, India. They demoed me apps they were building for some companies as a B2B2C product, and it was thrilling! The real market fit for the Vision Pro is not in the B2C segment, but the B2B and B2B2C segments. Any one pretending otherwise, and wondering why their apps aren&#39;t working on the platform (downloads/sales) is fooling themselves. https://www.macrumors.com/202...

I did the math of running LLMs locally in India, specifically my city of Pune. The problem is energy costs! Pune has notoriously high energy costs. Combined with cooling infra I’d require, it’s effectively cheaper for me to subscribe to one of the $20 plans. Am I offloading my environmental impact elsewhere? Yes! And am I continually using LLMs for my work? No! So this revelation completely changes my preferences for my Mac upgrade.

@ni_nad I presently have a 13.5kWh solar net metered setup. It still doesn’t work out since we are net-negative on that system (intentionally). Cannot increase capacity of that system further. My cost analysis was: price of existing hardware (at date of purchase) + energy costs for running that hardware &amp; cooling / workload over one month (April). Just cheaper for me to pay a $20 subscription should I need it.

Migration Assistant over Thunderbolt (4 in this case) is such a blessing!

App Store review taking over 2 days to approve a macOS TestFlight build really puts a hold-short in my release cycles. Very annoying!
