Thoughts from an Information Technology Professional with 20+ years of experience.
I’m not really that surprised about the arrogance of Apple’s security team, but this is just plain idiotic.
Apple now, it seems, just doesn’t either publicly acknowledge, or doesn’t really *want* to deal with it – at least publicaly.
This article is from Macrumors.
It’s simply a disgrace that Apple, with all the billions of dollars available to them, want to take the cheap option.
Wow, just wow.
It seems that iOS 15 is filled with bugs (not that I’m surprised really).
Why do I think that if Steve Jobs were still in charge at Apple, these bugs wouldn’t be an issue as, being a former Apple employee when Steve Jobs was still in charge, he wouldn’t have ever allowed such a shoddy piece of shit to be made public.
Anyhoo, here’s today’s goodness (or badness?).
From Macrumors comes the reports that some users are plagued by incorrect ‘iPhone Storage Almost Full’ Alert After Updating to iOS 15.
Yeah, thank god I’ve somehow been spared from this.
I’m sure that this won’t be the last bug.
I’ll quote W. C. Fields here: “Go away kid, you bother me.”
I don’t know about you, but the lead up to Apple’s iOS 15 for phones, tablets and even the Apple watch OS 8 was a bit of a disappointment.
It would appear that most of the updates occur behind the scenes.
Here’s the list of what’s new when compared to iOS 14 – thanks to the people at Macrumors
Well, for Melbourne, Australia it was an earthquake anyway.
Here’s a screenshot from Australian Geoscience website.
The large red dot was where it occurred.
It was a 6 on the Magnitude scale, or a “what the fuck was that?” on my weird shit-o-meter.
Nothing was damaged or broken, and to be honest, I was a little surprised by it, seeing as the last earthquake to hit Melbourne was about 35 years ago. O_o
So today, I read that a 3rd party has produced a mini USB-C hub for an iPad.
Great (or so I thought). But here’s the kick to my nuts – the interface on modern iPads is fucking USB-C not a lightning connector that’s the default even on my iPhone 12 Max Pro (which is the current and latest version of the iPhone).
Why, why Apple do you insist on doing this to me? The lightning connector is an interface for – amongst other things – power. Don’t mess with it. It just fucking works!
If you insist on changing to USB-C (I can’t imagine why) then do it for ALL your devices!
This isn’t a posting about the usual stuff I post about.
This is one small way to leave a permanent reminder of just how special my wife meant to me.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, and she was in Nairobi, Kenya.
She was going to come to Australia when the borders were opened and I could travel to Nairobi and bring her back to Melbourne with me.
Yesterday morning, I received the news that suddenly and unexpectedly, my wife Ninah had died. I’m not going to go into the details of her death, needless to say that for me, my heart and soul have been removed.
You were the light and love of my life. How I will continue on without you I just don’t know.
The world has become so dark without her love and light for me.
I will love you forever darling.
So today, Apple released IOS 14.7.1 to fix a bug that was “overlooked” around their Apple watch.
It seems that Apple just plain forgot that some people also have other Apple products, like the Apple watch.
When asked for a statement around this omission, Apple replied: “Ooopps, our bad.” (not an actual quote from Apple, and of course I’m not a journalist.)
Well I’m finally fully vaccinated against Covid-19 or the Corona virus (yay, thank fuck for that).
Of course I was a total wuss when it came to getting the shot, but as I was told, I really didn’t feel much at all, and it was over in a second.
So, now to the Corona virus, I say a giant fuck you!
It would seem that you’d have to be pretty stupid to:
OR
But if you did (why the fuck would you anyway?), your ability to use ANY wi-fi would be not possible until you reset your network settings in your iPhone by:
Open the Settings app, tap General -> Reset, then tap Reset Network Settings and confirm the request at the prompt.
Anyway, those of you who are either morbidly curious, or downright stupid can have a go at it.
The article on the MacRumors site goes into detail.
I got the first of the Pfizer injection, and to lighten the whole world’s opinion or reaction to which jab is better than the other, here’s something from my home town of Melbourne
