@spitfire Yes, but that one is not as easy to fix as a typo in the show notes, unfortunately.

@Ann_Effes Believe it or not, back “seats” are an option on many 911s! (And standard on some trim levels, I believe.)

@Ann_Effes The back seats and the trunk are very small! Maybe bigger than a 911’s…but not by much, and for a car that is massively larger on the outside!

@Ann_Effes No back window! This car is best as a poster or drawing. Not so great as a thing to drive.

The new Jag, on the other hand… 😬

The new Tiguan EV does a lot better than the outgoing ID.4 on my EV Stupidity Checklist.

If all you have is a liquid glass, everything looks like a rounded rectangle

@unaiherran I saw that video when it was released, but cable management isn’t really the problem I needed to solve. (Also, no 3D printer.)

@vmachiel Sony has never made the OLED panels for their TVs. Yes, I still like Sony. The Bravia 8 II is their best current TV.

Can I just say that “to back up your login keychain successfully, just turn off SIP” is one of the stupidest official statements I’ve ever seen Apple make.

I've started to add BeOS to Infinite Mac - you can see the first few versions on https://infinitemac.org/?filter=beos

Not having been much of a user back in the day, I'm looking for suggestions of software to make sure to include, or pointers to canonical […]

@kalleboo I really doubt this is something an executive can fix. It’s a problem with their security systems, and that will not be easy to fix.

@timo I use AppFigures, but I use a separate account with an app-specific password to gather stats from App Store Connect.

@siracusa.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySep 29, 2026, 2:23 PM

@joacim I am using Safari to log in to App Store Connect.

I do not use a VPN or proxy. I do not have any unused devices associated with this Apple Account. Something is *very wrong* with the account locking system if this usage pattern is triggering my Apple Account to be locked EVERY DAY. 3/3

@siracusa.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySep 29, 2026, 2:19 PM

My usage pattern is that of an "ideal" Apple customer: I buy Apple's devices in reasonable numbers (e.g., an iPhone, an iPad, a handful of Macs) and I use them myself, primarily from my own home. I have a strong, unique password on my Apple Account that I have changed recently. I never share […]

Excerpts from my reply: My Apple Account is not shared. I am the only one using it, and I use it from a handful of Macs that are all in a single room in my home. I also use it from my iPad (which rarely leaves my home) and my iPhone. 1/3
