I hope it's only a temporary glitch, but suddenly the UBS home banking login page does not seem to work on Firefox anymore (it works with Chrome). This also happens with a fresh Firefox install (no addons, mods, anything).

If this is true, then this means that from now on, the largest Swiss bank only allows customers to use their home banking with either their proprietary app (which of course requires Google Play Protection and does not work on Graphene OS), or with a hardware token plus a US-megacorp controlled browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).

So, did WatchOS 26.2.1 fix the “Other storage category eats all available space” bug? Maybe?

Got 20 GIG of space back after installing, so hopefully that holds and my Series 7 returns to normal operations.

Still a damn big slice of “Other” there

Associating with Donald Trump is in general toxic for brands. Short-term gains are incapable of winning over long-term losses.

Tim Cook is playing with fire and damaging Apple as a brand.

Apple once stood for consistent design, this is just ridiculous now. It pisses on every person who spent time of their life working on UI Design at #Apple.

Did you know there is a `CIFilter` to generate barcodes?

Added in iOS 11! (Example uses APIs added in iOS 13)

Makes creation of DataMatrix-Codes a piece of cake:

```
let data = "Oh, Apple".data(using: .ascii)!
let g = CIFilter.barcodeGenerator()
g.barcodeDescriptor = CIDataMatrixCodeDescriptor(payload: data, rowCount: 14, columnCount:14, eccVersion: .v200)!
let image = barcodeGenerator.outputImage
```

Sole problem: They forgot to implemented it.

iPhone 18 Pro: Gerüchte-Hin- und Her um Dynamic Island

Apples iPhone-Front wird seit Jahren vom Dynamic-Island-Bereich beherrscht. Fehlübersetzte Gerüchte aus Asien sorgten zuletzt für Wirbel, ob sie verschwindet.

At this point, I must sincerely and publicly apologize to Mr. Daniel Micay and the entire GrapheneOS team! In my rant about US products and US services and as part of my boycott of these services due to the new fascism in the US under Trump, I mistakenly referred to them as American or an American project – which, according to a clarification from the GrapheneOS team, is absolute nonsense! I would like to thank GrapheneOS for clearing up my misconception!

It was absolutely not my intention to spread false information or defame anyone for their great work – many years ago, when I first started working with CopperheadOS and then GrapheneOS, I read somewhere that Mr. Micay and the project were from the US. Unfortunately, after all these years, I can no longer trace this source.

So there was no malicious intent behind this claim, it was simply the passing on of false information in good faith. I would like to apologize once again to everyone affected!

But thankfully, other users were better informed than I was and also brought this to my attention.

So far, I’m really enjoying the iPadOS 26 update. It’s amazing to see Apple invest in making the iPad feel more capable while still retaining a lot of the simplicity that made the platform appealing in the first place.

I think I’m still in the getting used to it phase, and I feel excited to see what I’ll uncover after a few more weeks of use.

Apple and Google recently announced their AI partnership, and we could get our first real look at the Gemini-powered Siri assistant as soon as February. @Techcrunch has more:

#Tech #AI #Apple #Google #Siri #Gemini

This afternoon, I took advantage of the rain to tidy up and clean my desk, as well as part of the cabinet to my right, which houses the switch and the Raspberry Pi 4 (powered by FreeBSD) that I use for various services.

I came across my old laptop again: a 2019 16" MacBook Pro, the last Intel model. I think it was one of the worst devices I’ve ever owned: sluggish, fans always loud, and the case 'polished' down quickly just from my hands. I used it for about a year, then passed it to my wife when I got the M1 Pro MBP - which I’m still using - in early 2022. By comparison, the Apple Silicon model feels brand new, even after four years of fairly intense use.

My wife had to stop using the 'old' one because the battery, despite having very few charge cycles, is practically dead. It doesn’t hold a charge, but that wouldn’t even be the biggest issue. The real trouble is that without a functional battery, it has become incredibly slow, with the fans constantly blasting, making it unusable. I tried turning it on again, but it even struggles to launch the macOS installer. I’m stuck: replacing the battery would cost 289 euros (from what I’ve read, the entire top case needs to be replaced), but I hate to leave it like this, as the hardware and screen still have a lot to offer.

I’ve thought about selling it as-is, but I think it would be difficult - an inexperienced buyer wouldn't understand that the slowness is caused specifically by the battery issue.

Any advice?

Когда ты забываешь зарядить модные умные часы от #apple #samsung (и прочее на #wearos) то вечером они уже выключенные болтаются у тебя на руке.
Когда ты забываешь зарядить часы на нормальной (облегчённой) ОС, то вечером ты ещё делаешь пробежку, и остаётся ещё 13%.
Берите часы на облегчённой ОС от #Huawei, #Honor, #Xiaomi, #Amazfit, #Haylou и прочих. Вряд ли вам понадобятся приложения на часах, а вот нормальная автономность точно лишней не будет.

»KI-Modelle lassen sich laut Apple-Forschern schlechter steuern als angenommen:

Considering that under Trump, the US is turning into a fascist terror state where opponents of the orange leader are simply shot dead on the street by his private Gestapo, ICE, or persecuted by his terror justice system, I am considering completely disposing of all US hardware and services that I still use to some extent.

In addition to Linux and Pixel with GrapheneOS, I unfortunately still use a few Apple devices such as MacBook Air, iPhone, Watch, and iPad Mini, and of course I also have a Google and Amazon account for some services. And it is precisely these that now need to be carefully deleted or replaced.

This includes the Pixel with GrapheneOS, both of which come from the US, and there's no telling what else the GrapheneOS team will be forced to do by this criminal government. Under fascism, there is no freedom, no privacy!

In the end, all that's left is an old dumb phone from Nokia. Apple, Amazon, and Google must go completely, and they can be replaced. It's purely for convenience that I haven't completely eliminated them yet. The planned Framework laptop is also canceled. Fedora/RHEL must be replaced by European Linux solutions. Signal, as a US service, also falls under the Cloud Act and is no longer acceptable.

I have a lot of planning and work ahead of me now...

(/me shakes fist at Apple)

I finally figured out why windows get randomly resized when I drag them around in macOS. It started about a year ago and first I thought it's a bug in Firefox or macOS, but the problem persisted.

Today I finally found the "Drag Windows to menu bar to fill screen" option (default on) in System Settings.

I wonder when they sneaked this in and who asked for this "feature".

Made a major food discovery. I've been eating HoneyCrisp apples for years BUT...

Recently I discovered the CRIMSON CRISP apple and let me tell ya, it is WONDERFUL.

It's crunchy and tart and meaty and delicious! Smooth and without the heavy fibre feeling of a Red Delicious but more appley than a HoneyCrisp.

I'll still switch it up and jump back into HoneyCrisp from time to time. But it's nice to have an equal alternative.

I just wanted to share this small joy with you today.

If this goes through, there won't be much privacy on Apple devices.

The Information (paywalled) report also notes that "it was Federighi who was behind the push to use a third-party model instead of one developed in-house. It's Federighi's belief that Apple's own models can't compete with those from Google, hence the deal."

As for privacy, the report notes that "Apple is in discussions with Google about using its cloud infrastructure for AI features."

"If the plans go ahead, future Siri features may be powered by Google's AI chips inside its data centers."

I just had three cases where I opened an app, or navigated to a new screen, and voiceover jumped focus three times without me ever touching the screen. I also constantly have to navigate a typing delay. There is a significant delay now where VoiceOver will, on occasion, more than not, just randomly decide not to say the key my finger is navigating over when typing. It feels like everything about VoiceOver is very sluggish in this latest operating system version. I genuinely think that VoiceOver is broken in so many ways that it’s more advantageous to use a desktop and a desktop screen reader. Even with NVDA’s flaws, it’s 1 million times more useful than what I’ve just encountered. I don’t understand the blind folks that exclusively use an iPhone without a computer by choice. Those blind people have a fuck ton more patience than I do. #Apple

The best AirPods to buy https://thever.ge/s6PF #VergeShopping #BuyingGuides #Headphones #Gadgets #Apple #Tech

Bad news if you want to buy Final Cut Pro as a casual user. I'd look at Da Vinci Resolve instead. I bought FCP so I'll still be able to use it, but...

How it SHOULD be:

* Sell licences for the latest major release

* Continue to support that release for as long as possible. AT LEAST TEN YEARS!

* Charge for upgrades on major releases

This is the simple and fair way to do it. Subscriptions are bullshit. Everyone hates Adobe for a reason.

iPhone-Preise fallen langsam

So langsam kommt Bewegung in die Amazon-Preise der neuesten iPhone-Generation. Vor Weihnachten waren sie noch so nachgefragt, dass der Preis stabil blieb. Aktuell sehe ich das iPhone 17 und das 17 Pro um 5% günstiger. Das macht schon mehr als 50 Euro aus. Das iPhone Air ist um mehr als 200 Euro gefallen.

Auch die neusten AirPods Pro 3 sind jetzt 10% günstiger zu haben a

Fuck, no, Apple. I was forced to update to iOS 26 due to lack of security updates for 18 on devices that can run 26 (i.e., due to extortion) but you’re not infecting my Mac with Liquid Ass.

Notice the dark pattern of pestering you in hopes you will accidentally hit the “Restart” button even though you’ve specifically turned off auto updates. Microsoft-level disrespect for consent here.

(Not surprising from a company that gives golden awards to fascists.)

I've submitted my resignation letter to Apple. My last day will be this Friday, October 31st.

I'm starting a nonprofit company to create FOSH (Free Open Source Hardware) assistive consumer electronics, focused initially on assistive consumer electronics for blind people. I plan to release many small intermediate products for the maker community.

I plan to start working full time starting November 1st at Brain Computer Enterprises, Cooperative Inc.

Warning: kissing fascist ass may result in liquid glass.

So my phone tricked me into updating to iOS 26 (nice one, asshats). And wow: it really is a case study in form over function. Gratuitous, meaningless aesthetics and motion. Decoration, not design. “Look what I can do!”

Oh well, if it gets me using my phone less, that’s a good thing, I guess.

But the next time you hear someone from Apple talking about design, please feel free to laugh in their damn faces. What a sad joke they’ve become.

Nah, fuck it, turned everything back on again. Why should I fix your damn broken interface and fool myself into thinking this piece of shit is anything but? Going to experience iOS 26 in all its enshittified glory. Will make it easier to hate this phone and move onto something more ethical once it finally croaks.

Apple is likely one release cycle away from going full Microsoft/Google anyway.

So, Apple has jumped on the Adobe bandwagon and is now charging rent for creative tools 😞
