Solution: The solution for me was that I had to change my name in the contacts.

>I use predictive text for one thing: emoji. I always, always, always want to see emoji suggested when I type any word or synonym that matches an emoji. Workarounds are not permanent, and using the emoji keyboard or Siri are not optimal. Please allow me to enable predictive emoji in all apps permanently forever. Thank you!

Also as far as my time estimate, that’s how long there’ve been complaints about the feature. I do know Text Replacements and sending yourself or using emoji repeatedly in a given app are possible workarounds.

> The ChatGPT app for Mac is now available to all users, OpenAI announced today. The app first came out in mid-May, but it saw a slow rollout that was limited to ChatGPT Plus subscribers until now.

Basically the title. Maybe this is old news, but I didn't know about this trick until recently. Have fun, use responsibly :)

> There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence. However, a subtle addition to Xcode 16 — the development environment for Apple platforms, like iOS and macOS — is a feature called Predictive Code Completion. Unfortunately, if you bought into Apple's claim that 8GB of unified memory was enough for base-model Apple silicon Macs, you won't be able to use it. There's a memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion in Xcode 16, and it's the closest thing we'll get from Apple to an admission that 8GB of memory isn't really enough for a new Mac in 2024.

> In Mark Gurman's latest report he claims Apple is "considering" making the upcoming non-Pro Vision headset "reliant on a tethered Mac or iPhone".

> With Apple Vision Pro however, temperature doesn't seem to be the only factor in fan speeds. According to Max Thomas (aka Shiny Quagsire), the main developer of the visionOS port of the SteamVR streaming tool ALVR, the headset also sets the maximum fan speed based on how loud the fans are, measured with the headset's microphone array. > > The idea is presumably that in louder environments, those with more ambient noise, the fans will be harder to hear.

Hi,

is there a decent adblocker for Safari like uBlock Origin for Firefox? Most adblockers in the store seem a bit scummy somehow and I'm not sure if I can trust them.

My search has been without results.

My "new" model remote with a Siri button keeps needing to be reset to control my infrared amplifier. Press and hold the Volume Down and TV button works, but it's annoying when you want to change the volume whilst watching something and it doesn't respond.

Firmware version is 0x83.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?

Mine: require setting a URL to support password managers. You download an app, go to login, tap the password field, and open Bitwarden. Does it find your login? Half the time, nope! The dev didn’t tell Apple one time what their URL is, so everyone now has to search their password manager every time.

> Due to the regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act, we do not believe that we will be able to roll out three of these \[new] features -- iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements, and Apple Intelligence -- to our EU users this year.

For anyone wondering: all AppleWatches older than the S6 Chip are being cancelled, basically Series 5 and below is dead.

Well then, farewell Series 3. You’ve been a great companion since 2017. I will enjoy the time we still have together, until you finally decorate the rainbow arm when crossing into the big drawer up in the skies. May you be reunited with the Series 0.

It's the most annoying thing. Much worse then Microsoft licenses. Find a product, sell it. Need to resell it again I'm 3 months? Get fucked...here's the exact same thing but they changed liquid to ultra, 128gb SSD to 256gb SSD..added 0.01inches and jacked the price up by 500$.. oh and they can't tell you what the product number is because that's too much power for the end user to know.

Can't stand this company or dealing with them. Such annoying robots. I force all my clients to order anything BUT apple crap.

Keep doing you though apple, makes it super easy to blame your company for when everything goes wrong.

I’m surprised that this feature hasn’t been included in an update as of yet as Apple headquarters are in California. It could save lives and money from infrastructure damage. The big one would be catastrophic.

This is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I'd be open to getting Apple products again.

I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.

What are the ways to do this?

Are you using the VP enough to still justify the price tag?

What upgrades/changes would a 2. gen need for you to consider getting it?

My personal recap of this keynote

The weird stuff:

• Apple reinvents Winterboard theming from iPhoneOS 2
• Apple reinvents Android quick settings panel
• Apple reinvents PiP on Safari
• Apple reinvents tiling windows
• Apple Intelligence - I'm a bit sceptical on how capable it will turn out. Also for everyone not living in the US of A it's again envy and waiting. Finally, I can't get my head around it how they won't be losing tons of money. Personal cloud AI sounds expensive as hell.
• Even more iMessage _bloat enhancements

The fun stuff:

• Skydiving - I'm definitely not too old for this stuff.
• Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig
• Parcour
• Calculator on iPadOS - Err, are we living in 3024 now? World hunger is no more, everyone.
• WatchOS workout evaluation

The good stuff:

• Math and calculations in iPad Calculator and Notes - This would instantly make me buy an iPad for studies, if I were going to school/university right now
• Handwriting x word processor
• Your iPhone on your Mac - The seamlaess drag and drop gesture felt a bit like magic.
• On device AI - Pretty dope concept. I hope this turns out well.

Apple introduced App locking feature at WWDC

I have the misfortune of being stuck doing DoorDash. It means I'm constantly plugging in and unplugging my phone from my car, at least once at the beginning and and again at the end of each and every delivery. Even with USB-C (it's an iPhone 15 Pro Max), that makes me nervous. It's also inefficient, having to fumble with the cord and the plug and the phone each and every time. And of course it's a problem when it's pouring down rain and the USB outlet gets wet.

So I've been trying bluetooth adapters for my 2021 Toyota RAV4 XLE Premium Hybrid. I've gone through three of them, now. They each worked great for the first day or so, then died. A message appears on the screen that the device could not be started in "advanced mode" and "normal mode" means the device doesn't work.

The dealer informs me that the head units which support CarPlay over bluetooth are only available in model years 2023 and newer and cannot be retrofitted to a 2021.

I'm not even seeing the problem acknowledge in a web search. But for me, it's consistent.

Does anyone know a solution?
