I mean come on …. #ApplePhotos

Has anyone been able to get #macOS Apple #Shortcuts to work with the specific drive automation trigger? I get this with all my drives. Sandisk USB C flash drive. T7 and T9 Samsung SSDs. Ninjia Atomos SSD. ExFAT format.

In the last 3 days Safari on #macOS has become unresponsive after a barely having been open. Not sure what is going on. Do I need to uninstall all the browser extensions to see if that fixes it or is there another way to find the error without needing to do so? #Safari

iOS inconsistency: Phone app has a unified design choice, Photos doesn't. Why? #iOS26 #Apple

Got the MX Master 4 Today

Seriously love the Haptics, hope that #Apple takes note and maybe creates an API or whatever is needed for #Logitech to more easily add haptic features to other apps like the Apple Trackpad has.

8) Liquid Glass redesign
9) Make the inspector more dynamic on larger displays to show more information

5) Lock the table position but still interact and edit the cells within.
6) A ring chart but we can round the corners of the sections of the ring (similar to sleep score ring chart).
7) More frequent currency/stock price updating. (4 to 12 times daily)

I love Apple Numbers so much, and if it got the following features, I'd probably cry.

1) Input data via Apple Shortcuts without opening the app.
2) Add styles so we can create Liquid Glass effects.
3) Cell locking
4) Conditional formatting to work on rows.

Why does the #EU have such a hard on for Apple? 2 to 1 people in the EU use #Android. Insane. #iOS

Wish this was always the behavior of receiving something airdropped to my mac. When I #airdrop photos, my #mac jumps to the space with the finder window to show the photo. So incredibly annoying when I don't want to deal with it in the moment, plus I use Dropover to get to the file anyways.

Hazel even ruins the Finder app by super imposing their App Icon on External Drives. 2/2

A lot of apps I use weekly have been updated for liquid glass. Really awesome redesigns.

However, I'd say the majority of the apps I use daily have not been updated. This includes: Kino, FCP, Apple Numbers, Halide, Pages, Ivory, Microsoft Word/Powerpoint, Hazel, and maybe more. 1/2 #macOS26

Is the "create reminder" Spotlight action on #macOS26 supposed to be able to add a reminder date and time? Currently, it does add the reminder to the app, but it keeps the, for example "today at 1800", as the title of a reminder rather than recognizing that I wanted to remind me at that time.

I had to renew my DL today, not even a minute after paying, the Apple wallet app notified me saying my DL info has been updated. Tapped on the notification to see whats what, and I saw that I already have my new issue and expiration dates. Super fast #Colorado #AppleWallet #iOS

Rich Aesthetic @richaesthetic.bsky.social · Sep 17

Its so great that the indie developers are on top of updating their apps. The summer is hard because Apple is testing/changing stuff. But know that we really appreciate it. #Apple #iOS #macOS #iPadOS

I mean y'all beat Apple! I use FCP and Numbers everyday and those apps aren't updated whatsoever.

I don't really think #macOSTahoe feels very different. Sure, some buttons are bigger, and the sidebar weirdly reveals content behind the window, even though the side bar is on top of the window, but I wouldn't call it ugly, whereas the previous version was very boring and I would say ugly. #Opinion
