Not a fan of the icon change on here…
Looks…childish almost, Overuse of shadows.

Bit the bullet today and got rid of Ice (MenuBar app). It is great and all, but outside of searching menubar items, Apples integration to manage items, and Tinkertool to adjust spacing is good enough.
Now I can actually enjoy live activities!

My take - New browsers feel like data-harvesters in disguise — launched with the bare minimum features; while their real goal is solely to train their AI Models.
I’m glad Atlas is a thing, but it seems like an early alpha at best. If this was any other company, it wouldn’t be getting the same attn.

Really love my Obsidian setup, even after creating a new vault with limited plugins; but I really think I am going to swing back over to Apple Notes + Drafts.
For some reason, Obsidian just feels...clunky, especially on mobile.

I’m shocked nobody else is talking about the new reddit homepage UI. It seems it’s been slowly rolling out for months now and I got “lucky” last night.
Anyone else find themselves staring at what feels like nails on a chalkboard for your eyes recently?

Just noticed I was signed out of my ChatGPT account within Apple Intelligence. I'm assuming because this is a new phone and it didn't come over; so if you upgraded your device -- double check your account is signed in (if you have/want to use that).

To those who are using Things3 on macOS...
When the app is not open; and you launch it; does it always open in a minimized state? This is driving me nuts and I cannot figure out why this is happening.
I saw people say disable QuickEntry...etc, no luck.

Suggestions on AirPods Pro 3 cases?
Nothing bulky, doesn’t have to be MagSafe but can be.
Preferably available in black or orange colors.

The amount of people actually complaining about things changing too frequently within beta's is...mind blowing.
I hate to say it, but they really should tighten up the beta program a bit more. There are way too many people that just don't understand the word...Beta.

Loving the pin feature on Apple Music but really wish they would let us also pin playlists and stations as well.

I got a slew of iPhone 16 Pro Max cases, from Benks, to the dbrand ghost case…if anyone is keeping their 16PM, and need some cases let me know.
I’ll be posting pictures shortly.

Why oh why has Apple not enabled Messages access in iCloud on the web; considering those who do Messages in the cloud...I mean the data is already there...

Although I wish we could access "In-Progress" or "Recently Listening" between devices quicker, the sync does seem better.

Starting to see the liquid glass app icons appear in TestFlight. Not sure how much I like it. Also wondering if liquid glass is disabled, do the “old style” icons return?

Made the switch to Warp for my daily terminal.
It really brings so much to the table (outside of the AI features which I don't necessarily need, so I disabled).
Really nice work!

I setup xSearch again on all my devices.
Not sure why or when I stopped using it, but boy do I appreciate it now that I updated all my bang searches.
Not to mention, they seamlessly sync to all my devices.

Kind of...Sort of...got addicted to Karabiner Elements. I've always had it installed for one primary use and never gave it the time of day to mess with custom complex modifications.
Man oh man...This is fun :-)
