Northern spy 
planted in place of the aged hydrangea. We will train it tall so that it can provide shade over the path and maybe front yard/pond on hot summer days.
Parents had a whole bunch of horse manure 
and a big bag of peat moss so we mixed some of that in for the tree. It didn’t have much of a root ball so we’ll have to make sure it stays nice and anchored. #diy #gardening #apple #pnw #portalberni #vancouverisland
I know this isn't exactly a hot take, but it continues to blow my mind how stupid Siri is.
On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence:
"Siri, is it going to rain today."
"There's a possibility of rain starting Friday."
WTF? I didn't ask about Friday. Today is Sunday.
Restoring an iPhone in recovery mode
Previously I explained how you could use an iPhone to add another iPhone or iPad to Apple Business Manager. There is another common task where you no longer need a Mac or PC: restoring iOS on an iPhone in recovery mode.
The process is very simple and only requires an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.
Put the iPhone in recove

#apple AirPods Pro 2: The volume swings erratically even with all the fancy modes turned off. Very frustrating. After getting past the initial magic of transparency mode and conversation awareness, the basic task of listening to music is atrocious.
OK #fediverse #SwiftUI #Swift #Apple peeps, I need a brain transfer, I am trying to figure out if I can identify when a local notification is presented, and have a timer to see if it is responded to within a certain amount of time. Is this even possible?

U.S. President #DonaldTrump's administration has been predicting its barrage of tariffs targeting #China will push #Apple into manufacturing the #iPhone in the United States for the first time.
> But that's an unlikely scenario even with #US #tariffs now standing at 145 percent on products made in China – the country where Apple has manufactured most of its iPhones since the first model hit the market 18 years ago. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-04-12/Why-Trump-s-trade-war-can-t-lure-Apple-to-make-iPhones-in-America-1Cw4k7fCw2A/p.html

@sjvn yeah, #Apple is continually a religion to many, but it’s also great hardware that can be purchased smartly without all that idiocracy involved. I’m in deep love to the capacity my M4 Max laptop delivers for a quite reasonable price if I compared it to PC laptops with similar performance. Screens tho are ridiculously expensive at Apple. My Benq is just fine and without drama!

A ‘US-MADE iPHONE’ IS PURE FANTASY
Just as well for Tim “I gave Donnie a million bucks” Cook that his good buddy Trump has cancelled the tariffs on iPhones from China (no connection at all between that reversal and Timmie’s donation, no sir…), because he couldn’t start making his overpriced fanboi hardware in the USA any time soon. Or ever.
MacRumors · iPadOS 19 Will Be 'More Like macOS' in Three Ways
Blocking #google #youtube #ads on #apple devices ain't easy.
The best way to block ads on an Apple #mac is using #mozilla #firefox and the extension #ublockorigin. There is no better way, unless you want to pay Google.
The second best on a mac is using Google #chrome and #ublockoriginlight, which wokrs with the new version of Chrome. The full ublock origin extension doesn't, though. (1/5)

"Tech CEOs aren’t actually staying silent. They’re simply lobbying behind the scenes on their own behalf...
... most of the strategizing around trade rules—and conversations with Trump’s staff—are happening through back channels right now...
During Trump’s first term, Cook carefully cultivated a direct relationship with the president in order to lobby him on issues like trade and immigration. I have a hard time imagining Cook isn’t using that direct line now."
