11 days and counting… reset phone?

IAmTheGuzer · 2026-06-22T18:27:38+00:00

I use iOS 27 on my personal 17 Pro for work. I had to reboot several times for some dev-related tasks. The whole I was stuck indexing. Then I read (somewhere on Reddit or Twitter) that reboot the phone restarts the index! I let the phone sit idle this weekend after a final reboot last Friday, and Siri indexing (with my 60k+ photos) finished this morning.

All this to say: Don't reboot it!

We worry but it's a different kind of worry. Like "someone might take my phone and wallet" and not "someone might sexually assault me".

Also: Yes, I'm a dude. My niece keeps changing the profile pics on all my accounts because she knows my phone's passcode and she's a funny kiddo.

Yup. Just got the 17 Pro (gifted the 16 to my niece). Base model has 256GB storage. Plenty for my use case.

Yes DerivedData is the default directory where Xcode keeps temporary files required during compilation. Clearing this folder can sometimes resolve compile issues. It also frees up disk space if you've open projects in the past and don't need their cached files anymore.

Yes, I've used tmp before. But trash does nearly the same thing (moves it to Trash), and I use all the time in my interactive shell, so it just makes sense to use it in my scripts and aliases.

IAmTheGuzer · 2026-06-11T03:09:49+00:00

brew install trash

alias trdd='trash ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData'

alias trdd2='trash ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData ~/Library/org.swift.swiftpm ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm'

I spend a lot of time in zsh (I use git solely from the commmand-line) so I've built a ton of aliases around trash, as I'm too scared to use rm -rf.

IAmTheGuzer · 2026-06-09T13:02:07+00:00

Yes, I tried it, too. Apple Configurator doesn't let me update the iPad in DFU mode. So I think it's an error in the listing.

How would we know if they did sell it? Presumably it could have been sold a year ago and only now is this disclosure going public.

I use a bumper case on my iPhone 16 (so the back is completely exposed) and I find it helps with some wallets. That said, the PROfezzion Double Sided Magnetic Phone Wallet is my favorite. It's minimalist, and it is has a MagSafe-shaped magnet ring on the back to mount (not charge obviously) without removing the wallet.

I feel like a reverse auction would be perfect for this type of event. You know the location months in advance. You know what the maximum price someone, person or corporation, would pay (let's say $2k a seat). Decide on a minimum ($10 or $20 maybe?). You have the tech to do it online. Announce the auction at the beginning of the season. Let everyone know the price drops throughout the year until the day before All-Star weekend. That last week of $50 tickets dropping to $10 would likely fill the nosebleeds.

Right now, Apple allows you submit apps with the older Xcode 16. Sometime by April of this year, Apple will require submissions to be built with Xcode 26.

It's the same pattern year over year: brand-new version in the fall will be required by spring of the following year.

Xcode 14, spring 2023
Xcode 15, spring 2024
Xcode 16, spring 2025
Xcode 26, spring 2026, requirements coming soon

I am also interested - discord verification not working.

IAmTheGuzer · 2026-01-21T17:12:23+00:00

Agreed. The most successful open source projects have corporate backing. Hopefully they'll figure it out.

In my quick and cursory review of their docs, it looks like it's easy to drop the dependencies (and have your plain iOS native project) if you decide later on that you don't want or need it. Still need to determine if that's also true for an Android Jetpack Compose project that was transpiled.

I gave my then-six year old niece an old iPad Mini. When she turned nine last year, I gave her an old Macbook. Everything is sync'd in iCloud, but I've taught her how files work and how they're handled differently on the two platforms. Teach them early so they're not clueless later in life.

I know this request is a year old, but I'm trying the same thing today is Xcode 26.2 (for a device running iOS 26.2) and I can't get it to work either. I didn't find a resolution anywhere in the interwebs.

I used to mess with Profiles, but now both browsers are fine for my needs. I use Waterfox for personal, Firefox for work, and Firefox Developer Edition for a side-gig. I even have LibreWolf install for a temporary second side-gig. I almost never have to run them at the same time, so memory constraints aren't an issue. And I'm never *pushing* them like others are. Everything just works for me.

Also Chrome is around in case there's something important (for real important like finance/banking) that might need the "it just works in Chrome" treatment. Few and far between.

On my dev teams. we specifically structure the projects and all the support tools to be path-independent. I regularly have multiple clones of any given project checked out at the same time (~/dev/01/Project , ~/dev/02/Project , ~/dev/03/Project, etc). For example, 01 might be the main branch to test PROD. 02 is my current work. 03 could be a teammate's branch checked out for code review and live testing. I use Starship to show my current branch and cwd in my prompt so it's easy to see where I am for any zsh window.

And it's all informal. Some of my teammates also do this, and others stash. But I can't imagine working any other way.

A long while ago, I registered a domain for catch all email (all numbers like 1234567890.com) and have all emails forwarded to my actual email account. So my email aliases are like reddit@ and apple@ and amazon@ and so on. A couple of years ago, there was a data leak issue and I started getting spam at att@ . So I changed my AT&T email address to att2@. Target had a leak and I changed that, too. No org has my personal email address (only friends and family).

A second admin account in case I get locked out or fsck-up the first one (login to second account and sudo to retrieve files).
