@siracusa ah, cool. i was surprised it hadn’t been mentioned. i had assumed someone would have long beat me to suggesting that method 😅

@atpfm there’s another way to easily add multiple contacts to a group on iOS that i haven’t heard you all mention yet. go to the group, tap the + button, select all the new contacts you’d like to add, and tap the ✔️

@mikeymikey RIP

TiL that the iPad is now thin enough to slide into my couch 😬

An iPadOS 26.1 feature in testing that hasn't been enabled in builds yet:

SpringBoard itself has a system menu bar, with quick access to a bunch of things, including shut down and restart, screenshots, homescreen editing and more. Combined with the previous 'Control Center on External Displays' unreleased feature, I hope that they're slowly building towards clamshell mode for iPad…

xcrun simctl spawn booted defaults write com.apple.springboard SBHomeScreenMenuBar -bool YES; killall SpringBoard

@a_frayn i have no idea. i just discovered it while setting up a new test VM. i haven’t investigated that, yet.

huh. new (to me) #Apple #privacy checkbox: System Settings: Spotlight: Help Apple Improve Search – […] allow Apple to store your Safari, Siri, Spotlight, Lookup, and # images [(Messages app)] search queries. […]

Apple is so happy to add nag prompts all over the OS, AND YET this gets silently enabled.

really weird how this is placed in Spotlight settings instead of in Privacy & Security, yeah? 😑

Step 1: install shortcut

Step 2: “Add a control” in Control Center, “Run Shortcut,” and select the newly installed shortcut

Step 3: Profit!

@dmnelson @autiomaa that wouldn’t protect against the employee setting up user/password, though. i can use user/password, but i never remember the workspace addresses. so it’s more flipping back and forth between Slack and my password manager than the dumb email link. just let me log into an email account with user/pass and select workspace[s] from there 😑

@dmnelson i sure do wish Slack would implement Passkeys. their auth flow sucks.

@AnthonyReimer many hugs and much love to you and your fam Anothy. thank you for sharing your tale.

@tbridge @yashpatel actual fun or sarcastic fun?

@yashpatel we ended with 4 down! i’m missing this week, though. i’ll be in Chicago to see NIИ

@caseyliss @atpfm i _think_ Apple will waive the advanced replacement fee if you don’t live near an Apple Store, or maybe their policy has changed since the last time i’ve done an advanced replacement.

i live in the middle of illinois and the closest Apple Store to me is ~2 1/2 hours away. i’ve never been charged extra for an advance replacement when my device is covered under AppleCare.

i’ve been slowly watching Steven Universe for the first time. it’s a lovely and fun show. it started as “is my kid ready for this” and i dunno, they haven’t seemed interested, but i’ve been enjoying it 😆

@catsalad i sent it to my friend and not even 1 minute later 😂

@catsalad jfc 😭 it’ll always be too soon 😭

@dmnelson awww, kids first existential crisis. 😆
