RE: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/117039670962199640 decided to abandon this route because it’s just dog slow. on iOS, you can’t use JIT (w/o being attached to a debugger) so you have to use an interpreter which costs about a 4x slowdown. 2min boot times and maybe 1.5 fps.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/117027375873199705 If you wanna try out the iOS 3 emulator, I bundled it all into a single Mac app. You can join a fake wifi network and install apps by dragging them onto the window. https://github.com/samhenrigold/qemu-ios/releases

i've been monkeying around with this project to try and get 3.1.3 booted and got stuck banging my head against a wall with signature checks until it hit me: i can just...lie about the emulator being dev fused. https://github.com/devos50/qemu-ios

@Apparency @thebittergreen teeny tiny nitpick but the Quick Look preview provider for Apparency is consistently taller than it needs to be. I'm on 27 beta but it's been a problem for me through at least 26

if you work on fun projects, the code will also be fun to read.

I've been listening to some internet radio recently and onlineradiobox is a wonderful website because it uses a completely broken quotes API. like I'm pretty sure the lead singer of Boys Like Girls was not talking about healthcare data but I could be wrong.

hey if you ever want to have a fucking TERRIBLE time in this mortal coil, try figuring out how to configure custom document icon artwork in Xcode. (the answer, btw, is to go into your Asset catalog, create a "macOS Generic Icon" and then it will appear in the […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

i’m testing an upcoming app on macOS 26 and, after about two months of using golden gate, i can confidently say that 26 looks like shit. from a butt.

> However, ongoing component shortages will almost certainly mean the next Neo costs more than the original did, previewed by Apple raising prices on nearly all of its devices last month. It would honestly be very funny if, in less than a years time, they manage to bump the Neo from $599 back […]

this is not technically a launch announcement since I'm still goofin around with things but I've been working on https://legacystore.app, a massive index of old iOS apps on archive.‍org. It's got historical charts and you can visit/install directly on older devices, too.

i have a bad habit of seeing something like this and thinking "ugh why wasn't i there?!" before remembering I was 10 at the time, at summer camp in Massachusetts, and I wouldn't know about The Cab for another five years.

if you use one of the iOS 27 AI suggestions and it contains an emoji, the entire message will just appear in your emoji recents. it’s great

thank god the dunkin’ donuts app implements a screenshot shield

someone seriously needs to figure out this non-Mac App Store update system. I can't keep having every app on my system throw me Sparkle alerts and I have to relaunch bits of my workflow at random throughout the day

i've been working on a side project that indexes the various .ipa app files on the internet archive and, long story short, i have died and gone to hell and my eternal punishment is nitpicking which icon files are different enough to collapse in the S3 bucket
