    Did a search for Ivory on the iOS App Store. Surrounded by Canadian Tire and Wendys ads. Yay App Store. Why did I search for Ivory for Mac on iOS? Because I haven’t woken up yet this morning.

    After working a whole lot with an AppKit app again (Pastebot) sure is not fun to debug Mac Catalyst stuff. Layer upon layer of AppKit, UIKitMac, and UIKit stuff. Got irritated and just created a test app to send to Apple so hopefully they’ll check it out and maybe fix it.

    If only I had that much going on in my life that I could take advantage of displaying triple live activities on my phone.

    Since a fair number of you are always looking for deals on decent Mac monitors -&amp;gt; https://hidpimonitors.com You can filter by ones that currently are available, ones that are coming soon, 4K, 8K, by retailer, refresh rate, price, whatever. (disclaimer: a friend of mine created it)

    One awesome use of AI would be for Apple to continue chatting with the scammers when you mark a text/message as ‘delete and report junk’. Would even be better if it later send you a transcript.

    Anyone else seeing Passwords app on Mac (26.2 but has happened on previous versions) not save new passwords? I had to reset my password because hadn&amp;#39;t logged in a long time. I generate a new one and Passwords asks to save it. Click OK. Go to login. Fails. Open Passwords and it is the old password from 7 years ago. You had one job.

    RE: https://tapbots.social/@todd/116180410662301758 As a followup to this post: I reset my password this morning again and found that the web site takes you to a completely different web site to reset the password (clublocker.com -&amp;gt; ussquash.com) so Passwords saved the password under the other domain. I had to manually copy the new password to clublocker.com entry and then it worked.

    @Skye If you want to follow up (email or a continuing thread here) I can take a look. I can guess what some of these refer to but others like ’has really borked video playback&amp;#39; I have no idea what you mean. Can you not map your mouse buttons to any keyboard keys you want? Also since command-f is reasonably fast here what OS/Mac do you have?

    Bought some Girl Guides cookies yesterday evening. I was under the impression that we had mastered making cookies on a large scale. These are the sloppiest misaligned cookies I&amp;#39;ve ever seen. Perhaps QA was handed off to AI or someone just fell asleep on the line.
