Saw a newish looking Supra on the highway today, did not realize they were still in production, and had forgotten how nice a car it is 🙌🏽

Seems like macOS 27.0.1 fixed the spaces switching issue for me, small win for the home team 🙌🏽

Installed Pi inside a container machine using the node:24-bookworm-slim image, so far working nicely, and should help keep my machine install clean 😌

Hmm… I can lease a mid M5 Ultra Mac Studio… but not a maxed-out M5 Pro Mac mini? Is there a dollar amount or model filter? 🧐

CarPlay keeps freezing on iOS 27… didn’t notice once, and wondered where I was a little too late 🥲

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Another one for iOS 27, CarPlay Maps app freezes, have to unplug and replug… super annoying when I miss my turn 🫩

There’s this weird Dynamic Island thing happening with Siri in iOS 27, driving me crazy. It feels like a UI bug… like it hesitates and then the Siri bubble shows up. Makes the interaction feel very jarring 🙂‍↔️

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Asked Siri AI and it gave me the answer 🙌🏽 “Touch and hold an empty space on your Home Screen until the icons begin to jiggle, tap Edit in the top-left corner and select Customize. From there, choose Dark to always use dark icons, or Automatic to have them switch alongside your system settings.”

000

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I’m on iOS 27, maybe it’s been like this from before, but my icons are not in dark mode… even though my phone is. I didn’t realize it until a few days ago, and can’t figure out how to fix it 🥺

Told my wife about the new burgundy color, she’s says nobody likes burgundy, where’s the pink? 🤣 #AppleEvent

Beginning to think of Fable as the humanities and Astra as the engineering, based on things I’ve asked, and the results from the same requests. Both can do either, but both are stronger at one thing than the other 🤔

000

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Ok… so I was checking Astra out, mentioned an idea I had, and what I wanted to build… next thing I know this thing is done… like, I was sitting there thinking, and it was done building it 🤣

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Rate limiting my password manager login, for a local app… yep, def gonna investigate moving everything to Apple ecosystem. All comes down to “It just works.” 🫩

Open source never ceases to amaze me, like Charm’s Crush, so much polish in the one project 🤌🏽

Last 24 hours reminds me of the “Shhh… Let people enjoy things” meme 😅

I am really impressed with the Jellyfin client Moonfin for tvOS, looks nice, and so far it has been just as good as Infuse for my use case.

Saw a Galaxy Z Fold8 in person… not sure the size is for me… but also not sure it is not. Honestly, it felt ok, but I’m too scared I’ll break something like that 😅

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Managed to use up all of my MiniMax allotment today… that was a first 😅

Ubiquiti Travel Router is in stock. Missed it a bunch of times, so pulled the trigger this time 🙌🏽

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Sony has done such a good job in the MCU, so far all the Spider-Man movies have been great, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day did not disappoint 🙂

4th Gen to M5 iPad Pro jump is nuts 😳

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Got an Apple refurbished M5 MacBook Air to replace my M2 Air… such a nice update 😌

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Sol finally showed up today… tested on something menial, in my eyes, which required some research… it ate through my allotment in minutes 🥲😅

000

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Interesting… I see Terra and Luna, but not Sol 🧐

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Asked Fable 5 to review some code, focus on security and efficiency, and it converted my human slop into AI slop… but I think this is their perfect use case. Reminds me when I was turning wrenches, clean my area when I’m done, sometimes leading to more work from seeing a cleaner picture.

Submitted my first iOS 27 Beta feedback: Apple Pencil double tap does not work, hoping pencil experience gets fixed up, cause I use that feature all the time.

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Some final touches to simplify UI, a time zone issue fixed on post creation, and a final test 🤞🏽

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Most things seem to be working, that’s good, but something wonky with actual Hugo blog itself 🤔

000

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Testing v2, new blog syndication strategy 😅

Anyone gotten SiriAI to access pinned map locations? This dude indexed my whole life, but somehow it can’t see pinned map items 😅🤣

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Germany AND Netherlands are out 😳

Tim sounded like he was signing off for good 🥲 #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

🤯 perspective reframing looks pretty neat as well #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

A better clean up tool is nice, but this extend tool seems like a good addition to photos #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I really like my Safari experience super basic, so hoping this part can be turned off if I don’t like the way it works 🤞🏽 #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Siri AI looks good… if it actually works as displayed 😅 #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I appreciate this vision for Apple Intelligence… now let’s see what it enables 🤔 #WWDC26

Carlos E. Barboza @fossilizedcarlos.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Nice! Parallel sending sounds like a huge win 🙌🏽 #WWDC26

Apple mail spam filtering has been brutal these last few days, not sure what changed, but seriously considering SpamSieve for the first time ever.

Just updated to M3… talk about a personality boost, might need to tone that SOUL down some 😅🤣

Couple of tweaks to the way Tapestry displays things 👌🏽 and I think I’m almost enjoying the timeline again… only see what I want, when I want… in chronological order of course 🙌🏽

... all to solve a problem (voter fraud by impersonation) that for all practical purposes DOES NOT EXIST. The rates are low enough to be virtually unmeasurable and as far as I know have never affected a US election outcome.

Updated my little personal weather app to use WeatherKit, and keep getting this error: “Weather unavailable: The operation couldn't be completed. (WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors error 2.)” Called in the squad (opus and codex), but it has evaded us all… 🤔 seems to be Apple 😅

I gave it a good go, I really did, but in the end Docker Desktop on macOS was riddled with issues… in comes Colima, a single issue, that I was actually able to resolve.

Been working to switch my personal site to a nice Lanyon themed Jekyll site on GitHub pages, then out of nowhere today I found the Blowfish theme for Hugo… on top of it, this little app was specially built for Jekyll… what to do what to do 😅

The upcoming, now postponed, changes to GitHub Runners have me thinking that my syndication should happen in app, and not in a GitHub Action 🧐
