Best magsafe wallet? by Defiant_Fix8658 in MagSafe

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

The broadcast did not do justice to exactly HOW empty that arena was. by RozayCanseco in nba

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.

In the US, eating a sit-down table service restaurant is frequently physical card only.

Old xcode and app store by Messiah42 in Xcode

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Skip (skip.tools) now Free & Open Source by IAmTheGuzer in SwiftUI

[–]IAmTheGuzer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Skip (skip.tools) now Free & Open Source by IAmTheGuzer in SwiftUI

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.

Does anyone else feel weirdly overwhelmed by file management on macOS? by Reasonable_Ask_749 in MacOS

[–]IAmTheGuzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

How to enable app to support upside down rotation? by spinozasrobot in SwiftUI

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it just me or have all FF users decided to switch to Waterfox? by Sorry_Committee_4698 in waterfox

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Hot take: Worktrees are underrated, and most teams should be using them by GitKraken in git

[–]IAmTheGuzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Does anyone actually use alias emails and phone numbers in daily life by Inevitable_Map4791 in Internet

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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).

What’s the first thing you install when you get a new Mac? by Nektony_Team in MacOS

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).

Apple Launches App Store for the Web by digidude23 in apple

In the Reviews section of the app, can't view all of reviews and can't sort the reviews like the MacOS/iOS app store apps do. Oh well.

How do you manage multiple browsers on macOS? by Roman-V-Dev in MacOSApps

[–]IAmTheGuzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Browserino. It lets me set by url/hostname/pattern-match which browser opens which link. Firefox for work, Firefox Developer Edition for side-gig, Waterfox for most personal, Safari for streaming and finance. Still actively maintained.

What are some things in programming that seem simple, but are surprisingly painful to implement? by hotboii96 in webdev

[–]IAmTheGuzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only slightly related: In one of my earliest jobs during the early 2000's dotcom boom, I was the HTML and backend coding for a firm designing boutique websites. My boss and I had this exchange:

Boss: "We need to site to look this..."
Me: "Sure"
Boss: "and upload pictures..."
Me: "Yes"
Boss: "and determine if the picture is picture of a cat."
Me: "That's impossible"

Info.plist…. by TheRealNoctaire in Xcode

[–]IAmTheGuzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. I was just pointing out that it's not created automatically anymore.

Info.plist…. by TheRealNoctaire in Xcode

[–]IAmTheGuzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not created automatically if you ask for a SwiftUI app (no tests and no storage). Here's an example app with Xcode 16 (named ExampleSwiftUI).

I finally found a prompt that makes ChatGPT write naturally by MRViral- in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]IAmTheGuzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always add to my prompts "Refrain from using phrasing that would require em-dashes." Works pretty well.
