Thanks Apple - I hate the IPhone Duo. A very impressive fest for sure, but so far from what I actually want for a phone.

What is even the best wallpaper? I've used one of a mountain with calm colors for years, but at the same time, I really liked the plain blue-green background that OS/2 had. I'm beginning to think that the best one is just a plain color around #303A46

Me and phone makers seem to disagree on what’s important for a phone. They make phones with larger screens, folded screens, with unclear purpose. And I just want a smaller phone with smaller screen.

Wow, Trakt just removed the API client id's for everyone who isn't a paying subscriber. Without notice or heads-up. Insane asshat move that made me spend an hour on even finding this was the issue with my app.

Finally watched the new Masters of the Universe movie, and maybe it’s part nostalgia but I thought it was really good? Better than many recent Marvel movies.

On Sunday my personal Photoshop subscription expires. For a loyal customer since 1.0, it’s a huge change for my workflow. But I can’t help but feel they survive on betting I won’t unsubscribe, and reskinning products from companies they buy. I’m currently trying out Affinity, and not hating it.

Will Bricks & Minifigs even exist in a year from now? I’m assuming almost nobody is a customer of them anymore and franchises doing their best to get out of contracts.

AI-generated websites and apps are the new Wordpress theme. Same colors, same layout, same generic blandness that makes whatever product very unengaging.

HelloAndy @helloandy.se · 30/05/2026

The Bricks and Minifigs drama is surreal. The most upsetting documentary I’ve seen in a long time. The corporation, the store, and now even the Utah police, all need to be investigated at a higher court. How can anyone let them get away with this?

I don't know about the sales, but EA not being able to agree on terms with FIFA must've been a great relief for them in hindsight.

Being forced to use Mac OS in Swedish just to get Apple Intelligence is so not worth it. FU new Siri, I'm going back to old Siri which worked just fine for my needs. #apple #macos

7 episodes into The Pitt, season 1. Not sure what I’m watching. An ER where all doctors wear a lot of jewelry and hoodies and a train of very short and shallow stories?

LG asked me to write about the TV I bought, so I wrote that it's excellent but some features force me use an app that force me to grant it access to my full wifi and bluetooth to track what devices I have. That, plus Microsoft Copilot, lost 2 stars to me. The review was moderated and removed.

ChatGPT and other AI don’t care if I use English or Swedish or a mix. Meanwhile, I can only have Siri and Apple Intelligence if my OS is set to Swedish if I live in Sweden. English is not an option. So my choice is to not have Apple Intelligence at all, OR a shitty translation to Swedish of my OS’s.

I just read that @gameinformer.com is coming back to print and that makes me so happy. A cover story was always regarded an honor, and I remember seeing Battlefield 3 – a game I myself worked on – made me almost more excited than the actual release. Still keep the issue plastic wrapped. :)

I miss having a lot of fun websites to hang out on. Everything is just apps now and it feels like I barely need a browser anymore. Which makes it even more weird to read that Facebook is now dropping apps in favor of browser based services instead.

Oh great, an update to YouTube app on Apple TV. My immediate thought is that the app is gonna get even worse, and yep, the app got even worse.

Just noticed that Chrome, Firefox, Edge, all have no issues in auto-completing an IDN URL. But Safari fails on all platforms, unless you use the xn-- alternative.

Facebook have in their infinite wisdom decided to sunset the Messenger app. Like I'm gonna sit on Facebook.com just to chat with people, or use their buggy and unreliable Messenger.com website. Oh well, their loss.

The Sims 4 branding from 2019 now fits perfectly with 2025 glass none-flat design and feels very modern. And the 2025 redesign feels old. :)

Starting my Monday with searching for how to remove the UK keyboard that suddenly popped up in Windows and refuses to go away, how many times I switch back to Swedish. There's honestly no OS that is worse for creativity and mental health than Windows.

The new open/close app animation on iOS 26 is their greatest UI achievement in many years.

Steam starting to require Mac OS 12+ because they bundle a Google Chrome that require 12+ annoys me. It annoys me when playing my game is dependent on a second software that is dependent on a third software. #appfairness

Compared to Twitter; it was surprisingly easy to forget about Reddit once third-party apps stopped working. Reddit used to be a large part of my social media usage, but now I barely visit once a month and then only for specific threads.

We’ve now had Apple CarPlay for 10 years, and there’s still not an option for Light Mode. Maps is unreadable in daylight on automatic dark mode. How have this not been picked up by @macrumors.bsky.social or @gruber.foo or any other Apple blogger? :)

It’s been almost three years since I put away my debit card, and maybe 15 since I last saw/used cash. Not every country is like Sweden, yet, but if you’re in the wallet industry I’d start thinking about an exit.

Looks like pretty much everything in the Apple Keynote was leaked beforehand. Long gone are the days when it was a tight ship. Feeling bad for all the people who worked hard on the things presented.

I find it slightly annoying that a fully functional great computer from 2010 is basically useless, just because I cannot install a modern web browser on it.
