Yesterday, @Apple released #iOS18.5, #watchOS11.5 & #macOSSequoia 15.5. #iPhone got 1 new #wallpaper, when the #AppleWatch got some new features: It also received the same wallpaper as the iPhone, also from now on, you could authorize #AppleTV purchases on #3rdparty TVs that run #tvOS using your #AppleWatch. Lastly, #AppleWatch would be sending you notification on your phone once the watch’s fully charged. To no ones surprise, #macOSSequoia update didn’t get any new features, besides the #BugFixes.
Last night, @Apple released #iOS18.4, #macOSSequoia 15.4 including new #emoji, Sketch Style in Image Playground, recipes on #AppleNews+ & few enchantments for the #Photos.app. Whether, #watchOS11.4 with the new #SmartAlarm feature was recalled last night and only came out this morning. Update quality becomes questionable, tho…
There’re quite a few reasons why I consider #Cyberpunk2077 to be one of the best games that came out in the past 5-7 years, here’s some of them: The game possesses authentic setting & atmosphere that doesn’t look like any other futuristic games that have been made before it or after. #NightCity & surroundings give players the exclusive vibe of some sorta nihilistic, antipathic, high-tech version of future. Besides that, #Cyberpunk2077 offers extremely immersive gameplay starting from the protagonist class choice, character appearance creating & continuing with ridiculous amounts of open-world content, decent quantity of unique, explorable buildings which you could enter, hella variative dialogues with multiple responses, each one of them pretty often might affect certain parts of the story or appreciation of the protagonist by his allies. Some dialogues even require players to respond within the time limit, failing that or picking wrong answers could irritate your companion, or even expose your intrusive activity during covert operations. For more cool features of #Cyberpunk2077, that allowed it to be one of the best games of the decade stay tuned…
Last night, after 150+ hours of #gameplay I’ve finally completed #Cyberpunk2077 & #PhantomLiberty #DLC with each & every ending. I also completed all the side quests, gigs & other activities. Tbh, the game’s storyline & setting are nothing but shocking, it questions sacral aspects of modern life like the battle between unstoppable tech progress & attempts to not lose humanity with that level of technology. This game unfolds all the vices of the modern society, like hypocrisy, usage of one person by another, richer & more powerful one, at last the game addresses the fact that technology has breed in us social fobia, critical cynicism, disloyalty & indifference to anyone’s problem but your own. This game has predicted a darker version of our future, some parts of which’s already being researched or developed. And even though, I had to play on my old #MacBoomProRetina (#Late2019) with #Windows10 thru #Bootcamp at #MediumGraphics, I still don’t regret a single second that I spent playing #Cyberpunk or even downloading its #250GB of required game files (uncompressed repack binaries were used). Would probably even re-play it sometime soon. @CDPROJEKTRED – 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The only features that my old #iPhone14Pro actually received being updated to #iOS18.2 are just design changes, the most noticeable of which is the revamped #Settings.app, now when the #DarkMode is on, the icons of all the parameters have been switched to the #darkside as well.
Как и в прошлом году, поздней осенью, с усилением паранойи о возможности начала события, именуемого #ТретьяМироваяВойна, в качестве лечения от таковой я перепроходил трилогию #METRO (#Metro2033Redux; #MetroLastLightRedux; #MetroExodus), причём речь идёт о порте для #macOS на базе #4AEngine, который является потомком #XRayEngine от @GSC_GW, и если честно, даже в такой конфигурации, на #METRO #графон баще, чем в #STALKER2 на #UnrealEngine5 (Урина Энджин 5), грустно, что просрали оригинальный движок, графон и атмосферу. 🪦
And, since I’ve found out about that #BrokenUI logic, I turned both settings into active syncing & now everything works like it was before it brome down. Bravo, @apple! 👏🏼 👿
During the past couple years I always puzzled about the reason why my #iMessage suddenly stopped syncing between my #iPhone & #Mac, I’d been accusing @apple of another #MajorBug, but the truth is, since Tim Cock introduced #iMessageInTheCloud in #2022, those morons have duplicated the sync activation setting on the latest updates of #macOS from #SystemSettings to #iMessage.app settings on desktop & if the sync had turned off in the app settings for some reason, but System Settings still show that sync is on, messages won’t be syncing. Sorry, whose design was that?………. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

Вчера #Apple выпустила минорные обновления #iOS18.1.1 и #macOSSequoia 15.1.1 с #BugFix’ами и улучшениями безопасности. Всем пользователям актуальных версий #AppleOS рекомендовано к установке.
Как оказалось, даже #1080P; #30FPS видео при монтаже в #FinalCutPro способно раскочегарить мою печку до температур близких к критическим, если в проекте 5 слоёв и 2 #CompoundClip’а (1 из двух слоёв, другой из 3-х) + мягкие тени, а на #background#CompoundClip’е стоит то же видео, что и на #foreground, только с применением #GaussianBlur. Все дорожки синхронизированны, btw. Пример стилистики конечного продукта, #монтаж которого столь сильно греет мой #MacBookPro можете посмотреть ниже.
Now I totally understand the most popular #SecretUsageCase of the #iPhone, that @Apple had forgotten to mention to their audience. I’m gonna tell you about that case, just don’t tell anyone. According to my experience, #iPhone is the best tool to smash, crash or dent your #MacBookPro or any other #unibody #MacBook. Those are 2 separate demos of how my #iPhone14Pro fell out of my chest pocket due to its weight & damaged my expensive #MacBook pretty visibly both times, again, due to its weight.
