Replying to @Apple
@apple please fix Screen Time. It has just one job, but it’s so buggy it’s quickly rendered useless. Once it’s in its bugged-out, it’s almost impossible to get it to work properly again. If you can’t fix it, at least give us a reset option to flush everything and start again

The bugs make it almost impossible to reliably manage my 12 year old’s devices in any way other than taking them away from them. At that point I may as well not be buying Apple stuff for them. This has been going on for years. It’s almost like you really don’t care.

i'm actually insane for sharing this but here we go... i built the complete AI Image Generation System: - 6-module course covering Gemini, Midjourney, GPT and Seedream 4.0 - blueprints to craft perfect prompts and start making money - 20 JSON templates for Nano Banana - 15 Midjourney SREF styles - access to Composition AI - a model trained on elite techniques to generates perfect prompts (and images) for you i'm taking this down in 24 hours because honestly this should be paid content reply "IMAGE" + retweet for access (must be following so i can send the dm)

Worked it out. Their 'live tracking' is a sequence of PNGs from 0 to 11. Sadly DHL's service does not go up to 11. Gotta love how the designer couldn't be bothered to make the van face the right way as it travels down the roads. track.dhlecommerce.co.uk/Ass… track.dhlecommerce.co.uk/Ass…

What does @dhlexpressuk's tracking actually mean? I'm stop 139, but how many have been done? How far away are they? Is the grey path the journey time? How long is it? Is the red person me? If it is, why is the van driving away from me? Is it going back to the depot? #baddesign

It appears Sunak has finally found a way to motivate the youth vote.

I’m sure the Nintendo eshop rakes it in, but just think how much *more* it would make if it didn’t take 10 clicks (and that’s from a logged-in state) for every individual purchase (there’s no basket for multiple purchases). And I thought the PlayStation store was bad!

Can't believe that @apple Screen Time on the latest iOS and macOS is still such a steaming pile of trash. And somehow they've managed to make macOS Screen Time even buggier than iOS - a significant achievement in itself. And what does this even mean!?

I think the Slack status page might just be an image.

Why does every major update Slack make to their product so often feel like one step forward, two steps back?

Siri voice recognition is so awful that using it to take Reminders whilst you’re out, almost always results in a list of gibberish when you’re back home. Renders a very useful feature utterly useless.

It takes me 72.39% longer to find anything in Apple's redesign of macOS System Settings redesign in Ventura, and 93.74% of the time I have to use its search function. And that's 6 months after launch. #why @apple? (And yes, i am fine with it on iPad/iOS)

Getting rid of Creative Cloud from a machine remains as much fun and straightforward as removing an active virus from an infected computer.

A few years back i got a Nebula Capsule portable projector on Kickstarter. I liked it so much i later got the Capsule 2. As a fan, Nebula recently loaned me a beta unit of their new Mars 3, check out my first impressions here... youtube.com/watch?v=RIOMF6fW…

My iPhone has just warned me that I’m being followed by a pair of AirPods. What it’s not able to work out for itself, for some unfathomable reason, is that they’re my AirPods, and they’re in my ears.

iOS Contact Posters - what could possibly go wrong?
