About time! This will be great for those naps that sneak up on me on the weekends: “watchOS 11 appears to include a new feature that allows an Apple Watch to automatically detect and record when you're taking a nap. As shared on Reddit, an Apple Watch owner took a nap and was able to see the sleep data recorded in the Health app, despite not putting the device in Sleep Mode.”

“The lesson here, for all of us, is pretty clear--it's okay to let this sort of thing pass. You don't have to respond when attacked online. ... Instead, ignore the noise, focus on doing what you're supposed to do, and let everything else take care of itself.”

With Literally No Words, Tim Cook's Response to Elon Musk's Angry Tweets Is a Masterclass in How to Handle Your Critics - Inc. apple.news/AZUxih1AISiqYew6Pjc

apple.newsWith Literally No Words, Tim Cook's Response to Elon Musk's Angry Tweets Is a Masterclass in How to Handle Your Critics — Inc.Musk seems to misunderstand Apple Intelligence. The smart move is to just ignore the noise.

Can anyone at WWDC2024 or with access to MacOS Sequoia test if the new OS has fixed the Dock gutter, where Fitt's Law goes to die?

Edit, to clarify (and hopefully get more traction, as no-one with access to Sequoia has weighed in yet):
In Sonoma: If you want to launch an app from the dock, you can mouse right to the edge of the screen, click, and the app will launch (as it should). *But* if you try to drag a file to an app (e.g. you want to open a .txt file in Pages instead of TextEdit), there is a ~5px gutter between the Dock and the edge of the screen that is inactive - if you release the mouse button there, the file will not open.

This is clearly a bug (yes, I've reported it), as it runs counter to one of the fundamental design principles that the Mac is based on. Fitt’s Law states (partly) that the time required for a person to move a pointer to a target area depends on the size of the target. Larger target, less time. If you put menus (and dock items) right at the edge of the screen, then the target becomes *very* large as you can't overshoot the edge. This is why the Mac operating systems always had menus at the top of the screen, as opposed to individual windows.

This #WWDC2024 didn't inspire me with many ideas.

I only thought of one idea: test RCS before Apple launches it. However, I won't do that project. There are no jailbreakable iPhones on iOS 18.

I could rent a virtual iPhone from Corellium, but they don't emulate the modem. It would take me weeks to get even Wi-Fi calling working on one. Not worth it just to show that the bubbles are still green.

If you have any better ideas on what I should play with on macOS/iOS, let me know.
