Anyone else been totally unable to get the iPhone 18 Pro's triple live activity thing working in the dynamic island on the simulator? Only ever shows two for me

Went with mom to pick up an EV5 (her first electric vehicle) and gotta say, it's a really impressive vehicle. Unfortunate the US isn't getting this, it sits really nicely between the EV3 and EV9 and has some stuff I'm jealous of with Rivian

I just witnessed the world’s most patient Apple Store employee explain try to someone for 25 minutes that they don’t make ChatGPT and what software is

she like the computer heat

Tip: if you're like me and updating your Apple TV to tvOS 27 made every HomeKit device unresponsive, sign out of your Apple account on the TV, reboot, sign back in, and it should be fixed

I still can't believe I got one of these for $2,000 at launch

Dreaming of a burgundy iPhone Duo

Was curious how much the 17 Pro and 18 Pro differed in size. Gonna guess not much if the Apple Store is installing 17 Pro screen protectors on the 18 😆

Does Jev support multimodal input? Could you give it a photo of someone's face and request it to identify if they're happy, sad, or neutral?

Codex needs a setting like "if I haven't interacted with you in 2 hours and there's an update you want to install just do it". Love the updates but seems like there's always one

God damn RAM prices are even affecting the vegan breakfast sandwiches

Happy to say after 2 weeks of looking for my AirPods case I remember they now work with Find My and it was stuck in my mattress

Any pics of MagSafe attaching to the Duo? Curious how that looks/where the magnet is positioned, will determine which batteries can attach to it

Hyundai Ioniq 5 or KIA EV5 and why? (R2 isn't available in Canada and don't want a Tesla)

I really hope Xteink gets to making a full 6 inch e-reader (and adds back USB-C). Love their design language

I cut a really rotten tree down and now I feel terrible

Quite grateful I picked up an M4 Mac mini for $300 on marketplace earlier

Forgot my phone at IKEA, went back to a few employees passing it back and forth going "it's so thin what the heck" The iPhone Air isn't a perfect phone but times like that make it worth it

Took the common recommendation and got the Inovelli White smart switch. Beautiful and love the LED bar, but the paddle sometimes doesn't respond, seems like an unfortunately wide spread issue (and a dealbreaker) for such an expensive switch. Zooz next? community.inovelli.com/t/consider-...

As far as smart home light switches go, why aren't rotary dials more common in North America? Obvious on/off toggle, can't get "out of sync", even easier dimming than paddles, long-press actions, etc. Is there a downside beyond convention? (I'm aware of Lutron's janky one)

Kinda shocked how hard it is to find a decent pepper mill without plastic components. Peugeot I thought you were supposed to be the good brand

Smart home people: for standard looking smart paddle switches, do you keep the usual top = on / bottom = off behavior, or assign each half to a different light and have each button toggle its light on/off? I’m leaning toward the latter, but wondering if it would confuse guests

If you were choosing to buy smart light switches in 2026, which brand/model/protocol are you going with, and why? (Has to support smart bulb mode and not fully kill power to the bulb, I like my color temperature auto changing over the course of the day!)

Big Walk desperately needs a photo mode

Devastated and shocked to learn I can’t play Big Walk on Playdate :(

I found probably the coolest use for the Vision Pro christianselig.com/2026/07/visi...

The coolest use for the Vision Pro

One day there will hopefully be a house on this land Over the last year, I admittedly haven’t used my Vision Pro a ton, but fairly recently I discovered a super handy use that it’s absolutely incred...

One of the best moves you can make for financial independence is growing your own blueberries

iOS 27 desperately needs an “if I move an app it should never move everything else” option

Man, The Odyssey was so hyped up for me… and it completely delivered holy crap that was amazing. You really have to see it in theaters

Why can we customize the camera button on the lock screen but not the camera app that launches when we swipe left? That’s weird. That’s weird, right?
