Apple II Company • Page 3

I’m giving Apple Music another shot, used to use both it and Spotify since it launched but have primarily used Spotify since 2020.

Is anyone else seeing an issue with “favourited” albums losing the favourite tag?

I have 14 set and it randomly drops to 10 and every York I re-favourite, a few days later, a different set of 4 lose the tag.

*Edit* doing an internet search which I should have probably done first shows it’s been an issue for a while.

 

Yeah, I've seen it happen in real-time, too.

The Tim Cook Era Is Fully Cemented – Pixel Envy

On 16 September 1997, Steve Jobs became interim CEO of Apple. 5,090 days later, he handed the reins to Tim Cook, weeks before he died.

5,090 days after 24 August 2011 is today. The Cook era is now as long as the Jobs renaissance era.

 

And it's worth discussing whether he is the right person for the future of Apple as they face many various threats.

 

I don't often listen to any Apple podcasts but I may give the latest Talk Show a listen with Louie Mantia.

 

as long as they're doing this i dunno how convincing any discussion is gonna be for a while

 

Yeah no reason to get rid of him for now

B5 is out. To me it feels like Liquid Glass is somewhere between B3 and B4, some more contrast with backgrounds and also more aggresive on the switching between black and white fonts for readability.

 

Has anyone taken the leap and updated to the beta for MacOS? I update to the betas on iPhone and iPad every year but rarely do it with MacOS. But with the new liquid glass design I'm kind of itching to bring the Mac over too.

That's a silly idea - right? lol

 

I have on two Macs, not my work Mac. It's fine, no real major issues I've encountered.

 

Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump

Well this is revolting

 

As opposed to all the other times he's throated Trump?

 

no those were gross too but i don't remember them having a public gifting ceremony

 

I'm pretty sure there's been a gift in the past but this was especially gross, I agree.

 

I feel like this is another example to throw on the "no ethical consumption under captialism" pile.

Yeah, I could boycott Apple because of everything. But which company which makes these prodcuts is ethical? So you have to find the balance.

 

totally possible i missed any prior gifts. i was just repeatedly pelted in the face with this one when i woke up which was especially annoying lol

 

Does everyone’s Apple Music widget restart what’s last played after 20 minutes or so? i.e if I play half a playlist/album and pause it. I then resume the widget half an hour later and it just restarts what was playing. Seems utterly pointless unless you’re using it to resume in very brief windows. (Spotify seems to do the same, so I’m assuming by design)

 

I suspect it's a system limitation on widgets that causes this.

 

Paid off my 14, do I wait for the 17 next month or take the promo for the 16 version is running?

 

I'd just wait if it were me. I'd seriously consider whether an upgrade is even warranted.

 

def wait at this point

 

I regret upgrading to the 16 from the 14, worthless upgrade
