Apple

This is such a fun story. https://blog.hayman.net/2025/05/06/from-steve-jobs-great-idea.html

This is pretty interesting. Apple has a post-quantum encryption protocol for messaging and this formal review seems to confirm its validity.

Shocking that you can order a book in an app on iOS 😱😱😱😱😱 the world is changing

Apple isn’t going to fire Google for Safari search, it’s just going to make Google hustle a little bit and pay Apple to make Gemini the default AI agent.

Book it. 👍

The core tastes like the rest of the apple. We should eat them instead of throwing them away.

Time to test it with my 15 year old FLAC rips. The Black Keys here I come!

can't think of a feature i'm less interested in for my next smartphone, than being able to fold that thing onto itself

just me?

Apple is set to move Face ID (TOF) under the display in 2026 and eventually move TOF and selfie camera under the display in 2027, there are several manufacturers like Nubia have tried this method and the results are not so good

camera roll lock-in is a bigger problem than iMessage lock-in

Can’t wait to see a bunch of people with the 17 Air using a case that makes it look just as thick as a normal 17 🤪

I never hear people talk about Bear, but it's such a solid app. Super polished apple ecosystem markdown app with lots of great features. I'm a big fan of Obsidian, of which this is very reminiscent in terms of workflow,  but there are little things about it that I find too cumbersome at times. So far Bear hasn't irked me once. It's pretty, charming, and dead simple. Does anyone here use it?

Solid video about Bear. What a power user Stephen is 🤯
