The YouTube app on iOS just asked what problems I’d encountered on the front page. I eagerly selected ‘Other’, hoping it would ask for details and I could say ‘Never show me YouTube Shorts!’ Alas, as soon as I clicked ‘Submit’, the questionnaire closed itself. Cowards!
Saw people sharing the news from early January that Twilio is shutting down the desktop version of Authy. Minimalist is a fantastic password manager for Apple platforms that can on login put the relevant 2FA token on your clipboard via its Safari extension.
I’m not sure anything better sums up the Amazon Prime Video app on the Apple TV than the fact the launch screen image isn’t at the correct resolution.
I’ve been listening to an embarrassing amount of ‘Boy’s a liar’.
I wanted to measure the amount of time I spend studying Japanese every day so I spent $15 on a timer app only to discover that the excellent Awesome Habits includes a far better timer.
I’ve added rudimentary support for cross-posting from my blog to Bluesky!

I am unreasonably amused by @tom’s line ‘Well, that’s exactly what someone who’s in the socket of Big Eye would say’ in his most recent weeknotes.
YouTube has stopped allowing iPads running iOS 12 from accessing the site via its app. And if you have a kids account, it won’t work via Safari either. The future sucks.
I’ve given up trying to work out why my LG monitor connected to an M1 Mac Mini intermittently wakes from sleep. I think it might be a combination of Bluetooth and something to do with notifications but it’s easier simply to turn off the monitor when I’m finished with it.
I understand what Apple was going for with animated album covers in the iOS version of the Music app but I wish they’d instead gone simpler: let you tap on the album cover to see a ‘full res’ version you can pan around in and explore.
I wish there was a way to tell Amazon I use Fastmail and so can you please list the products in the receipt you e-mail me because no one is going to data mine it.
