I would use the F outta this. Even as an iPhone Air user.

[Phil Traut ᯅ @SpatiallyMe]

Will we get a transparent wallpaper option in iOS 19? Probably not, as it would totally drain the battery—but I’ve always wondered what that would look like!

Thanks to the talented Om Chachad, aka @TheOriginaliTE, who helped me build this into a fully functional prototype, we can now take a closer look at our “Glass Wallpaper” concept.

This might be my favourite concept yet. The way the iPhone dynamically adapts to its surroundings, almost like a chameleon, reminds me why I love visionOS so much—it just feels more personal. I’d love to see Apple bring more of this into iOS in the future.

@UltraLinx This tweet is so funny because I can’t tell if Oliur is genuinely complimenting Apple, saying the TV hardware is the best TV box (which I’d agree, it is) or if he’s throwing shade on Apple’s naming conventions because their actual digital streaming service is called Apple TV.

@johndilworth Oh man, that’s an easy one. Send out 2 separate meeting invites, ones to half of your team and the other to the other half for 30 min apart. Don’t give the meeting a title. Include a hr email address (can be fake) in the invitees of the first one.

[jb @jb]

Another great one: write two groups of co-workers’ names on a random whiteboard. Circle one group and put an X through it. Walk away. h/t @johndilworth for that one.

If you’re bored at work today just create a resignation letter for someone you dislike and leave it in the printer.

As you can imagine, yesterday was annoying AF for me. 😒

[The CyberSec Guru @thecybersecguru]

Meta AI Instagram account recovery is exactly the kind of risk security teams have warned about.
A reported flaw allegedly allowed password reset actions despite 2FA ...not by stealing codes, but by abusing an AI assistant with privileged recovery access.

@thecybersecguru And I’m specifically asking because I can share more details about the “workarounds” that ended up protecting me in the end… not that you’d want to publish those details for obvious reasons but I think it helps understand the systems they have (or don’t have) in place.

[jb @jb]

@thecybersecguru Loved the article. Thank you for covering it. Any chance you’d be open to discussing my own personal experience that went down yesterday from a user’s side? I’ve been dealing with this for 15+ years now (user ID 500ish) and it’s been quite the ride, in a not pleasant way.

[jb @jb]

@flyosity Congrats dude!

[Harmy @harrrmy]

you’re not autistic you just work from home and it’s making you weird

[jb @jb]

@kyleanthony I hate that you live on the wrong coast now, but you are such a good human, the city is lucky to have ya.

[jb @jb]

@Shpigford It’s called Balatro.

[jb @jb]

Can’t wait for the “sometimes something is so obvious and so late” tweet from him in 18 months talking about how returning to the Intercom brand is the “right” move lmao

[jb @jb]

This is dumb, and exactly what people mean when they say tech CEOs are in a AI craze right now. Giving up on a ridiculously iconic and great brand, with matching logos, domain name, and social handle in exchange for this forgettable slop.

There is 0 reason why “Intercom” couldn’t have shifted to be an AI-first company with the same name. Sad. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

@jrzscodes @sketch 1. Pay by the year, 2. Every time you do feel great that you’re supporting people who build software for the love of the game rather that whatever 🤮 that web-software-pretending-to-be-Mac-software other app was.

Tim Cook be like “the ergonomics” h/t @MKBHD

My Apple Car.

[jb @jb]

I can teach people “design”. What I have never been able to coach is the situational awareness of every-day experiences that’re awful and could be batter. IME you either have this or you don’t. And having it is both a blessing and a massive curse sometimes.

[jb @jb]

My FIL was a very successful mortgage banker, and when he moved into management he used to tell me that he’d always find the best future salesmen selling *other* things like used cars, and then teach them the banking business.

This is the UX designer version of that.

[Marc J. Randazza 🇺🇸 🇮🇹 🇧🇷 @marcorandazza]

I give the hotel my credit card in advance to reserve the room.

If I don't show up, they charge the card anyway, and I pay for it.

But, if I DO SHOW UP, they need to have the physical card and my signature, or I can't have the room.

Make it make sense

[jb @jb]

I feel much shame for the sheer amount of "order it and return it" try-ons I've done. And I am still pretty sure I've barely scratched the surface of trying them "all". @AndyManganelli

[jb @jb]

There's a debate about AI clothing try on tools and whether they can faithfully replicate the experience of being in a store and actually trying a garment. Consensus seems to be no, that trying stuff on IRL is still the way to go. I feel the same about mechanical keyboards.

[jb @jb]

No amount of YouTube videos or recordings or text descriptions can possibly replicate the experience of a mechanical keyboard in person. My fantasy is for a "Keyboard Store" where the entire experience is physically trying every imaginable switch/size/material/sound combination.
