Considering the forecasted rain for most of next week, I couldn't delay washing this filthy thing any longer. I can't show up to clients looking all filthy.

What better way to test Croissant's Alt Text generation for images that contain text than Croissants own App Store update notes informing us of this new feature!!

Great addition by the way.. hopefully next, image Alt Text generation! 👍
Croissant - Cross-Posting Today Update New in 1.3.5 * New account posting flow. It looks nicer! * Accounts will alert you if the credentials expire * Paste images into the composer * Generate alt text for images that contain text * Bug fixes for handling images in the composer view * Fixes for blank posts in threads * Dismiss the account detail view when deleting that account * Show details when (if!) posting fails) with retry mechanism * Show raw display names for Magic Mentions inserted manually (don't @ me, bro) Version 1.3.5 • 28.9 MB

I just realised I’ve never set up mine since updating to tvOS 18. Time to learn how it all works.

It's been 'fun' (for me) being on the Developer Betas this year (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, HomePod). That's me hopping off the betas now until next summer with #iOS19.

Great to see Three UK wasting no time making the move switching from SMS to RCS for compatible devices with upcoming iOS 18.2 update!
Message from “Three”: SMS will switch to RCS on iOS 18 from December 9, 2024. RCS uses data, not SMS. Can be disabled in settings.

Croisssant Cross-Posting app (to Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads) now supports iPad and macOS. 👌🏾
A screenshot of an app update notification for “Croissant - Cross-Posting.” The update message reads: “The long-awaited iPad and Mac versions are here! Now you can post from the best device you have (hint: it’s the one you have with you).” The version is 1.3, with a file size of 26.4 MB, and an “Update” button is displayed.

Jumped on the iOS 18.1 Developer Beta and activated Apple Intelligence on all devices. Time to dig through it and familiar myself with its capabilities.
Settings screen showing "Apple Intelligence & Siri," describing it as a personal intelligence system integrated with iPhone, apps, and Siri. The "Apple Intelligence" toggle is switched on.

Subtle change in #iOS 17.5 — Screen Mirroring is no longer a default in Control Centre. You can now opt to remove and add it to your will.

Very lucky to have in my care a vehicle I can pre condition the interior climate. #EV
A smartphone screenshot displaying a climate control application with a temperature setting on "LO", a 'seat heating' icon activated, and a timer indicating "21 min left". There's a 'Stop' button at the bottom. The phone's status bar shows.
