If only I had that much going on in my life that I could take advantage of displaying triple live activities on my phone.

@hoboshrimps will have to take a look at the code. Didn’t even know it did that when viewing hashtags.

RE: mastodon.social/@allenu/11733353490… I know there are all kinds of notes apps on Mac but for something that was just released it seems really, really sophisticated. There’s a large tutorial you can go through to see what kinds of things it is capable of. Check it out.

@stroughtonsmith hit some bug on 27.0 SDK, might as well confirm still exists on 27.2 beta before reporting. Also gotta play with Duo simulator. ;-)

Asking new Siri when my dog was spayed. The calendar entry it included was from January 2024 even though it answered January 2014. Just one of many poor answers I’ve gotten so far.

Screenshot from Mac Siri app where I ask when my dog was spayed? The answer was off by 10 years even though it included a calendar entry that was (correctly) from 2024.

@josh ha. Generally I use it as a short term read-later service. Things do disappear from it hence the short term.

Anyone using watchOS 27 beta? Does it fix a whole bunch of workout related bugs like not noticing you have started a workout, not offering to start 10 mins ago when you actually started a workout, not pausing when you stop (works great for biking, doesn't work for walking or hiking)?

Not a bad week of solar generation (10.23kW system in Calgary). It isn't nearly as good as most of July was but pretty decent compared to early August.

Screenshot of solar production for the week from my panels. All days were somewhere between 38kWh and 56kWh per day (estimated by looking at the graph).

@todd Worse On Purpose had an article that specifically calls out the LG fridge compressor failures. You're probably part of several class action lawsuits. www.worseonpurpose.com/p/your-appli…

Your Appliances Got Worse On Purpose

Dozens of brands, five or six owners, and a fridge built to quit just after the warranty does.

The compressor in my maybe 6 year old LG fridge died. The crappy fridge in our basement still chugs along and who knows how old it is. It came with the house 13 years ago and already looked like it had lived a long life.

During the development of Pastebot 3 @mark made @paul and I a 3D printed app icon. It is about the size of a coaster and has lots of subtle texture.

Drops, my caffeine and water tracking app, is nearing the finish line. It’s got a nice graph to track how caffeinated you are, colorful themes (just for fun), and above all tries to make manual data entry less of a chore. If that sounds interesting, I’d love it if you gave the TestFlight a try: […]

FireWire 400 -> 800 -> thunderbolt -> usb-c -> laptop running sequoia. Got a sad iPod error though.

@lemay good to know. There’s a good chance I already have FireWire to Thunderbolt adaptor here somewhere.

RE: tapbots.social/@todd/11707455306376… Black iPod is currently charging and can even browse files on it in Mac 26.5 Finder. The left one is Firewire so will have to see if can find the correct string of cables that'll allow me to connect to it.
