When a part that you hoarded years ago came in handy to revive an #Apple Thunderbolt Display. The cable is essentially a pass through TB2 cable with some DC cables to drive the MagSafe connector.

Another questionable #ipados26 UI element where you are presented with two “more options” (…) button, side by side, in the Collections section of the Photos app… Why??!

Aurora Australis? At this time of the year, in this part of the country, localised entirely within our back yard?! Me: Yes.

It has been 35 days (and counting) since I've been away from home, embarking on a journey of uncertainty and my Mac has been reminding me of this on a daily basis.

Never thought I’d ever have to run a “reset” process for Notepad just because it decided to lock up when it auto opens a file that it no longer has access to everytime it launches. #Windows11

Thanks to @archive.org, I can easily compare the price difference between current and previous generation #Apple #iPhone prices across different generations. In #Australia, the #iPhone17 prices have gone down ($200-150 cheaper) across the storage range, compared to #iPhone16...

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

The corner masking and inconsistent radius between UI and hardware is probably the next most jarring thing in iPadOS 26, right behind #liquidass, I mean #LiquidGlass. WTH are you doing Apple?!

Can we talk about how Billy Sorrentino, Senior Director of Human Interface at #Apple is having awkward hands using an iPhone 16 Pro Max during #WWDC25? Maybe it's time for them to admit that modern smart phones are just simply too big for the average human hand to operate ergonomically.

Everybody: NINTENDO SWITCH 2!!! Me: Nintendo GameBoy DMG-01, please. A bit of #retro #gaming repair day. 5 hours later, repaired a few screens with vertical lines and transplanted the CPU board from a unit with dead screen into a new housing and an upgraded IPS screen.

On so many different levels, one can say that Apple has officially entered their "Windows Vista" era. "Liquid Glass" takes it from visual flair, straight to distraction nation, all within the time it took Craig to say "F1, baby". #Vista #Aero #Glass #UI #iOS26 #macOS26 #Tahoe

That’s the worst name I’ve ever seen.

A reserved sign, with the name “Joey Shabadoo” written on it, in reference to the Simpsons character Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo.
