A Chinese buffet restaurant reopened in our town this weekend and it brought me right back to being a kid and having the ability to shovel endless plates of delicious cuisine down my gullet. I can’t consume quite that much anymore, but I do still love me a good buffet. 🥢
Hey @viticci@mastodon.macstories.net and @johnvoorhees@mastodon.macstories.net, I’m putting together a Shortcuts library on my site and wondered if you’d mind if I reused some wording from the MacStories Shortcuts Archive? It’s been a huge inspiration, and I liked how you did the intro/legalese.
Uhh…just checked in on Reddark and over half of the subreddits have now gone private in protest of Reddit’s API decisions. This got way bigger than I expected and I’m very curious about how (if?) Reddit will respond.
Whoa, imagine a modern operating system update coming in under 30 MB. A majority of my apps have bigger file sizes than this.
I realized today that because the Vision Pro lacks hot-swapping the battery pack for longer sessions, the best way to keep using it beyond 2 hours and not be tethered to the wall will likely be a battery pack for the battery pack. I LOL’d.
I competed in my first-ever organized trail run race today (and first organized race in many years). I had a ton of fun! Finished with a better time than expected, felt better while racing (the key: hydrate yesterday), and took 6th in my age group. Can’t wait till next year! 🏃♂️
It strikes me that Facebook changed their company name to Meta to tell the world they were committed to AR/VR as the future. Apple silently toiled away investing in a product so compelling and advanced that it has universally flabbergasted demonstratees to show how deadly serious they are about it.
It just occurred to me that because the Vision Pro battery pack is a separate part, the battery life could get better as battery technology improves and newer, bigger packs are released. Good call, Apple.
It must suck to be a kid in Florida these days. The bills that are becoming law are sickening. I fear the state will have a big problem down the road when even fewer young people choose to live there and its already-elderly population dies out. But I s’pose it’s always going to be a snowbird refuge.
Do you, like me, like leaving your key behind when hiking or biking so you don’t lose it? This handy video shows how to set up the PIN unlock on a newer Subaru (mine’s a 2020) so you don’t have to leave the key outside somewhere. Tip: hold down the lock button the fob first, then the trunk button.
Whoa! It looks like Keynote for visionOS will let you practice your presentation as if you’re on stage at the Steve Jobs Theater. (Link via @rafa@mastodon.design)
