I had an iOS update go from waiting for review to being approved in 38 minutes. Now I wait for it’s Mac counterpart to be reviewed…

I will say that besides the smaller bezels, the curved titanium edges definitely make the new iPhone 15 Pro Max feel smaller in hand than its predecessor.
Said goodbye to Dublin by visiting the Guinness Storehouse.
Mission success. This year I went with the Pro Max, Natural Titanium, 256 GB.
Quick escape to Orlando 😄
I was lucky enough to attend one of the Vision Pro labs today. While I cannot talk about specifics, I am allowed to say that the lab experience was amazing, I got what I wanted out of it, and they should do more like these for future technologies.
I took this picture while flying to SFO today 🍎
Managed to score a ticket to Blizzcon in November. Second time attending with the first being in 2017. I will also extend my stay to go to the theme parks!
Reddit definitely isn’t the same without Apollo. I usually read news (and memes) there for breakfast, but I switched to my RSS feeds after 5 minutes of using the clunky official app. Already deleted it.
It looks like I finished Tears of the Kingdom just in time to get into Final Fantasy XVI today.
Obligatory app-in-visionOS-simulator screenshot. I have several things to take care of before it will compile as a real visionOS app and not as a “built for iPad” app. After that, tweaks and improvements for the platform.
With SwiftData being official, here’s the book I purchased all the way back in 2011 to learn Core Data. #WWDC
Today was the closest to a normal day I’ve had in about two weeks since I got covid. Those weeks I spent my time pretty much in bed enduring pain; unable to focus when awake. Now it feels weird — like coming out from a cave and seeing how much I missed.
Welp. After my whole family got infected, I have covid too.
Welp. Now entire family but me has tested positive for covid. Three freaking years avoiding this like the plague literally. I will need to keep testing since I’ve been exposed to all.
3 years without anything and now my mother has covid. She’s asymptomatic for now. Family had managed to dodge it all this time.
Today I visited Uxmal in the morning after many years. Specifically the morning because later in the day it gets too hot!
Tetris on Apple TV+ is one of the few recent movies that smashed expectations. Clever and fun storytelling about the game’s roots in the USSR, although I did end up wondering how accurate some of the bigger scenes were (likely not that accurate).
Some scumbag cloned my credit card. I have notifications enabled so I noticed it quickly and turned off the card from the app. While calling customer support two more charges tried to go through on the deactivated card. All’s resolved for now.
App Review: Rejects app with a long, vague, generic explanation for a guideline we’ve broken.
Me: Asks a couple of thoughtful questions regarding the rejection in order to seek clarification.
App Review: Pastes the exact same generic explanation but this time with a screenshot.
I’ve recently gone back to primarily consuming RSS feeds for news/media now that I’m abandoning my Twitter setup.
App-wise, I was a huge fan of Unread (and will probably stick with it) but I’m giving the latest iteration of Reeder a try to see how much it’s changed.
Everything Everywhere All at Once is the most fun I’ve had with a movie in who knows how long. Fun as in I was laughing out loud, grinning, jumping, clinging to my seat all the way through. I regret not seeing it earlier.
Maybe my relationship with app review wouldn’t be so adversarial if most of the rejections weren’t BS but what do I know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I think my relationship with app review has gotten so adversarial that each time I see a rejection I just feel fury without reading the reason first. This time it quickly subsided because I consider the rejection reason legit and I thank the reviewer for being clear.
Tip: you don’t need to have seen Knives Out to enjoy Glass Onion on Netflix.
