It's now been 1 1/2 weeks since Apple removed my review of the #Loops app on the Apple Store. I have an escalated customer request with a personal contact to have it reinstated, and they're "actively working on the case" since a week.
I've already quoted a nice little recent post by the @EUCommission in my communication with them, where the EC pointed out that "In Europe, you have the right to challenge content moderation decisions taken by platforms.". Just to be clear, there was _no_ way to specifically challenge the decision - the link in the email sent out by Apple went to the general customer service who have no insight or access to the content moderation team and decisions. I had to fight to get to where my case is now.
I will take this all the way through the legal system unless they get their act together. I used to be supportive of #Apple back in the day, but no more.

RCS in Messages app: Apple starts testing encryption
So far, iPhone and Mac users have had to live without end-to-end encryption when using RCS. This is about to change, but depends on the provider.
The amount of bugs in #Apple’s #Tahoe OS are now well-known, but I find their abundance shocking and disheartening.
The design of their processes for the user have also become cluttered, by adding unnecessary extra steps. To wit: when I click “edit” on a phone contact, I now get a little pop-up that says “edit this contact“ and I have to press that in order to actually make the edit. Why are there two steps to pressing edit? No other options are offered in the second step, so what’s the point?

Apple kündigt überraschend „Special Apple Experience“ an

Ich wurde vor kurzem gefragt, ob ich die Bibliothek eines nicht mehr ganz neuen #iPods auf meinen #Homeserver übertragen kann.

iPhone 17e: These features could come
Apple's first iPhone release of the year is imminent: it is expected to be the iPhone 17e. Some technical innovations are to be expected.
So I am in a jam with forced upgrades for my #music #studio. Painful, really. My main workhorse is a #Yamaha #Montage 8. Since the release of the new Montage M, Yamaha has dropped support entirely for the first gen model. Its audio interface driver only supports up to #MacOS 14, but still works under 15.0. I receive daily warning messages that further OS updates will break it. Yamaha has stopped development on the driver.
To complicate things, I have an Intel #MacPro for which #Apple will be dropping support in the near future. It was and is only a matter of time. Due to the driver support issue I am forced to keep my Mac at OS 15.0.1. But wait, there's more...
If I upgrade my OS, then I risk breaking the driver and thus lose the capability of #audio and #MIDI over #USB. I use both the analog outputs and the USB, including feeding DAW tracks back into the #synthesizer for additional real time processing. My entire workflow, which I have developed since investing in the MacPro, *will* break and projects which I have started will not be completed. Period.
if that isn't painful enough, the New Yamaha Montage M8X is $5,000. While this is an amazing machine and does include a wealth of new features I'd immediately use (including a faster and more robust #machinelearning engine), these costs of both a new #workstation and new #computer are staggeringly high.
If Yamaha hadn't dropped support for its driver, I'd be fine continuing to use a last generation instrument.
And no, switch to a different workstation, ie #Roland or #Korg is simply not an option.
Ugh....

No-one, ever, complained that a solid background on the menu bar was an issue.
Not a single person.
I feel a little stupid for cheering on Google when they shamed iOS for not having RCS support. While I think Apple's main impetus for not initially supporting RCS was due to their desire for kids to be bullied for having green bubbles, phones using RCS gives Google a de facto messaging monopoly in the US and I'm questioning if Apple really should have adopted it.
Most carriers use Google's Jibe services for RCS messaging instead of building out their own infrastructure, and Google doesn't provide any third-party API access to RCS on Android.
I mean, it feels obvious in retrospect, but Google really was just pushing RCS to create a messaging monopoly after Hangouts and Allo utterly failed. By all accounts, RCS is shaping up to be another version of WhatsApp, just with Google in the driver's seat instead of Facebook, and what's worse is that it's baked into your phone instead of being something you have to download.
In iOS Home Screen:
- long-press an app
- tap "Require Face ID" (see pic)
- App is locked.
One of those "good to know" things.

I would comment that whomever curated that well-intentioned list, doesn't seem to place much "#UX value" on choosing apps *which work across all devices and commonly-used OS'*. Several choices are limited to a few OS', and iOS/iPadOS often gets left out.
Just saying: here in #Canada, where I live, a huge number of family and friends around me use #iOS/#iPadOS as their primary devices. Even though I don't praise or endorse those platforms, none the less I have to think about the support for those OS' before I might make any recommendation/suggestion that they'll take seriously.

The design geniuses at #Apple have made an impressive Apple TV remote. It is small and thin enough to be stored in between couch cushions. Its solid black color keeps it from being a distracting presence, especially in the semi-darkness of a room where TV is being watched.
