I've had my music playback history synced with Last.fm for almost 20 years now, so the Spotify Wrapped stuff is cute, but then people just look at me weird when I try to explain to them how much advanced statistics I have on my music tastes going back to high school.

Can you really be said to appreciate music if you aren't collecting high quality usage data and harvesting actionable insights from it? I would argue no.

I liked Last.fm but as far as I know it won’t sync with Apple Music. Bummer.

Eavescrob can access your Apple Music playback history and scrorbble it, and some third party Apple Music player apps like Marvis Pro and/or Soor do it too.

Apple should ration out their feature updates so they can bundle them with a security update to encourage uptake. Just have a queue of quality of life updates waiting for the perfect moment to get some positive press.

They should handle those type of fixes like how they do on MacOS. By default MacOS installs security response and system file updates automatically without the user even noticing. It's turned on by default.

Apple: “we’ve implemented rapid security response to prevent having to update the entire OS”
Also Apple: used RSR once, an entire year after it was first added, pulled it because it broke things, and hasn’t used it since

My phone won't stop pausing audio randomly (screen on or off) as well as giving double notifications in everything. As in, I'll see the notification for an email, go archive it, then it all happens again. Same with calls and texts, even after I reply, etc. Never seen anything like this with iPhone.

When there's 2 things in the island, how do I kick my audio app off so I can see the other (live sports scores)? Tapping on the audio icon just opens the app.

Usually it’ll have two different icons when there’s two live activities going on in the island, one on each side.

you can cycle through them by swiping left/right on the island including getting them back if you dismiss them all. it's not super clear out of the box.

Reasons why Goldman hates Apple Card:
- every statement closes the same day; this is apparently hell on their consumer finance support
- heavily encourages not carrying a balance, so no making money on interest
- the aforementioned cashback and splitting fees with Apple

This sounds like good reasons to have one, tbh.

Statements closing on the same day is fantastic for keeping on top of your balance, so naturally it must be eliminated.

That's not what he's saying. It's common for credit cards to close the same day every month, decided by the issuer when you open the card. Apple card apparently closes for everyone on the last day of the month, hence a crush of people around then.

Hmm, only swiping right to left closes something, and the other way doesn’t do anything. Am I swiping wrong?

Oh, yeah I listened to some of those artists, but I still have no idea how it ended up as one of my top genres or why it's called vapor twitch.

That's... not true? They are regular 'download and install this' updates, usually in lockstep with the iOS ones. I've been just prompted to install and update MacOS 14.1.2 today.

MacOS is way more pushy about the updates too. You'll get a popup a couple times a day asking for a password to install the update.

(unless that's a feature set by my org's device management, guess I'm not sure on that)

I have literally never experienced any version of MacOS, going back to 10.5, install any kind update without express user authorization. You've either enabled something or have this setting turned on by a device policy. They get pushy, like xzzy said, but they don't just install themselves without user input by default.

It does appear to be in iOS and iPadOS. It's a very new feature (April 2023). A poster above mentioned they apparently have issues with it, so it's not really been used. That sucks. I also confirmed it's turned on by default. I just wiped and setup an (not managed in mdm) iPad and MBP, and even if you turn off automatic updates, that specific feature is enabled.

It's finally time to upgrade to the latest phone and it looks like Incipio doesn't do their NGP cases anymore which I have really loved over the years. Is there a brand that does an equivalent minimalist and almost rubbery kind of of feel?

Well they finally did it.

The killed the love feature in music.

Not that it did anything anyway but they finally took it away. They also made some changes when you add a song to a playlist as well. It finally tells you if the song is already on the playlist

Spotify just did this too. Instead of having a heart icon to put songs into your Liked playlist you have to do like 2 or 3 more presses to like them.

But they didn't? I can still heart stuff. Well it's a star now and they call 'favorite,' but it's the same thing. They love renaming the likes/dislikes every so often.

Love is now "Favorite." I'm guessing it works the exact same way, but it also compiles all of your favorites into a playlist. It also has a star on the lock screen and in CarPlay where you can directly favorite songs.
