Manchester friends: I am visiting next week with my German friend. I'm not well acquainted with your lovely city. Please send food recommendations (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Nice bakeries and coffee shops especially welcome. We're staying by St Peter's Square and will be between there and […]

I feel like I haven’t seen anyone mention yet that iOS 27 removes both the floating bottom search bars (they’re back at the top now) AND the floating separate search button next to the tab bar. You can set any tab to be a floating seperate one now but it serves little purpose other than making […]

Just discovered that bookshop.org now does audiobooks and that money goes to supporting independent bookshops too. Much prefer to do that rather than giving money to Audible. Will be trying it out once I’ve finished my current books.

Today I had 6 hours of negative price electricity and I’ve just noticed that tomorrow I have another 7 hours of the same. I’m running out of places to put electricity!

RE: mastodon.social/@simsaens/117196541… Retrogram has always been one of my favourite iOS games. It’s nice to see this addition.

iOS 27 thing I haven’t seen mentioned. If you call a contact and it’s their birthday it comes up on the call screen with little fireworks saying it’s their birthday today.

So Octopus Energy just announced a savings session for two hours on Wednesday evening, which is the exact time that the (partial) Solar Eclipse is happening. I wonder if it's a coincidence or if the dip in solar production will actually cause a strain on the grid.

If anyone is wondering what the SiriAI experience is like: Me: Siri add deodorant to my shopping list Siri: I don’t see a list called Shopping, shall I create one? Me: Siri what lists do i have? Siri: I see a “Shopping” and a “General“ list.

I think the fact they've replaced swiping down on iOS 27 to open Siri/Spotlight instead of Notification Centre is going to piss people off. It's been a week and I still can't get used to it. Notification Centre is now top left, which I can't reach easily without tipping my phone. They have […]

I've been using Spotlight on macOS 27 and I think it might finally be good enough for me to drop Alfred. I'm finding it a little laggy/awkward at times but given we're in public beta 2 I'm being optimistic. Going to stick with it until the end of the Beta cycle and see if I feel the need to […]

Y'know I love Xcode Previews but getting them running feels like starting up a diesel vehicle in -50ºc temperatures. It's going to take a while and you're going to need to try a few times.

The year is 2032, tokens became so expensive that companies had to fire everyone to afford them. Computer hardware is so expensive that nobody owns a computer anymore. Companies are building software for hardware that nobody owns. AI becomes the only consumer of AI.

Apple I am begging you to add multi language support to Siri with AirPods. I can’t take another German sentence read out with English pronunciation. How is this not a thing already? So many people must be annoyed at this.

Has anyone used the new Royal Mail solar post boxes that let you post parcels? I've used a few now and I refuse to believe any kind of UX team was involved in their creation. Beep when you press the button makes you think it's scanned when it hasn't. No audio feedback when it does scan (you can […]

I really don't know to feel about that keynote. As a dev I feel I've been given one single feature to look at for the coming year. I'll wait until PSOU though as that should uncover the full extent of what's new elsewhere. #WWDC26

Ate the gay cake in IKEA. Not many straights know this but each gay must consume a slice of gay IKEA cake each year to retain their gay powers.

I see the green-lit to cancelled pipeline for TV shows becomes an ever tightening loop. Amazon just cancelled the new Stargate series 10 months after they announced it before it even got produced or released. Sigh.

Volkswagen group just nuked their API and said going forward the only way to access your vehicle data is via their app. They even went as far as to use some attestation stuff in their android app so that it can no longer be used on GrapheneOS. Lovely. No more data for me in HomeAssistant I guess!

Two birds, one stone: My Sony Bravia TV is buggy as hell and the longer it’s on, the worse it gets. Additionally it pulls a consistent 30W in standby. Just automated the smart plugs so that it is switched on/off at the wall when the Apple TV is turned on/off. TV will now behave and I save […]

Finally got my hands on a bunch of IKEA GRILLPLATS (Matter Thread Smart Plugs with Energy Monitoring) and a pack of the BILRESA (Matter Thread Remotes [Dual Button]). Majorly impressed so far. Paired easily into my thread network in Home Assistant. Insanely detailed power usage stats. The […]

They tried to put her on the cover of Vogue, but her leg was tooooo long. #nutmeg #catsofmastadon

Nutmeg curled up on the bed. She looks at the camera. She has one of her back legs stretched out far in front of her.

So talking to German friend, we got onto Ritter Sport. I said I like "Praline" and he didn't know the word. He said "Oh yeah that's Nougat in germany". The Ritter website has it listed as Praline in the UK but the top level menu item clearly shows it as "Nougat" […] [Original post on sendtoot.co]
