Not enough being talked about how great the new Digital Crown in the #AppleWatch Series 12, the way it’s more far away from the watch’s body makes it so easier to rotate it.

Hello #AppleWatch Series 12

Reading 'Dune: Messiah' book with Hans Zimmer's soundtrack is a vibe

Upgrading to Apple Studio Display XDRs this week — beyond excited

Every shopify store with “50%” to “70%” off “sale” can pretty much be found on Amazon for at least half the cost if not less without spinning the wheel or all the hacks to get your email.

The new Urgent Reminders feature on 26.2 is genuinely helpful. Really nice touch with the live activity!

Apple Music AutoMix is so good

GPT5-Codex agent seems to be far better than Claude Sonnet 4.5 for coding Swift

I'm so on board #TeamJohnTernus Apple's hardware is stellar across the board Hopefully when he's CEO, he will TERNUS around services and App Store shenanigans www.iphoneincanada.ca/2025/10...

Apple why can't we buy these MagSafe stands??

The Apple Store app doesn't have a Live Activity for courier deliveries! Disappointing. In other news, new iPhone Air is en route!

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

About the talk I gave at at #MacDevOpsYVR 2025 I walked through how we migrated our #Munki workflows to full #Git based CI/CD using #DevOps — with automation, caching servers, git hooks, cloud CDNs and everything in between.

ChatGPT really needs to tone it down with the emoji usage

Thursday nights now are double feature nights with #Foundation and #Smoke

GitHub Copilot in VS Code with Claude Sonnet 4 in Agent mode is rocking my world right now. It's wild.

While Temu President is selling cologne, we up in the sanity land 🍁 are getting a tax cut.

iPad has a full on Mac menu bar. This is not a drill.

I have for years enabled the Reduce Translucency accessibility feature on macOS. Might have to be on for all devices now…. It should never be behind text. That you know, you read.

Notes app can export to Markdown. But still doesn't support it natively?…

Stage Manager was an abominable failure

Manage AutoFill Credit Cards in Wallet app. Finally promoted out from Safari settings.

ChatGPT directly built into Xcode is pretty exciting

I'm immediately installing iPadOS 26 beta

Folders in the Dock is literally the Mac's

Apple finally realize the Mac had windowing right and they just needed to bring it to iPad and the menu bar. Took them 10 years since iPad Pro in 2015.

visionOS is super exciting … for a hardware that doesn't exist. A pair of regular AR glasses.

Journal app is coming to Mac and iPad. F'ing finally.

macOS Tahoe has genuine useful features

Shortcuts on the Mac finally have automations

Live activities on Mac! Yes!

Mac Control Centre is finally useful with 3rd party controls!

'Your Friends and Neighbours' on Apple TV+ was good from start to finish. Really good show.

It has been a long time I have been as impressed by an app as I have by Train The developers did not miss a beat on the watch app. It's a full blown app on your wrist. Really enjoying using it Made in Canada 🍁😎 @trainfitness.ai https://apps.apple.com/app/id1548577496

Mmmm a bit of odd mixed messaging from Microsoft regarding #AzureDevOps They might be deprecating Azure Repos at one point?… Or this could simply be a short term workaround way to offer Agentic AI by using GitHub instead. Really hope they keep it as is… devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/azure...
