A much faster Mac on a Microcontroller.Emulating older computers on microcontrollers has been a staple of retrocomputing for many years now, with most 8-bit and some 16-bit machines available on Atmel, ARM or ESP32 platforms. But there’s always been a horsepower limit, a point beyond which a microcontroller is no longer enough, and a “proper” computer is needed.⁉️One of those barriers now appears to have been broken, as microcontroller-based emulation moves into the 32-bit era. [Amcchord] has the Basilisk II emulator ported to the ESP32-P4 platform, providing a 68040 Mac able to run OS8.1. This early-1990s-spec machine might not seem like much in 2026, but it represents a major step forward.⁉️https://github.com/amcchord/M5Tab-Macintosh#apple #classic #macos #esp32 #engineering #media #retrocomputing #tech #news

MastoBlaster build 95 is out, and I am getting close to declaring it stable.The biggest update in this build is making the Home tab behavior completely explicit. Under the hood, I changed the tab dispatch in MastoBlasterApp.swift, added the Home tab notifications in NotificationDelegate.swift, and moved the actual scroll/refresh behavior into TimelineView.swift so the timeline state stays coherent.Here is exactly how it works now:Tap Home from another tab: Switches back to the Home tab.Tap Home while already there: Scrolls the current timeline to the newest posts.Tap Home again while already at the top: Refreshes the timeline (with a 1.5-second cooldown to prevent accidental spamming).Long-press Home: Opens the timeline picker.Other changes and fixes included in build 95:Added a setting to completely disable Apple Intelligence.Redesigned the notification view to be larger and make much better use of screen space.Fixed the compose window layout for small devices like the iPhone mini.Profile and banner images can now be tapped to enlarge.Added support to approve or deny follower requests.Added per-instance and per-account connection timeouts.Added a visible Back button to the settings sheet.Updated the filtered notice UI: it now shows "Filtered Post ()" directly in the header and removes the separate "Matched:" line.Test it out and let me know if everything holds up.#MastoBlaster #MastoBlasterUpdate #Fediverse #iOS #Apple

MastoBlaster Build 94 is now available on TestFlight.This is a major release that merges several different development branches I've been working on, bringing together a lot of moving parts into a single build. A long, sleepless night…Here is what changed:Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.#MastoBlaster #MastoBlasterUpdates #iOS #Mastodon #snac #GoToSocial #Fediverse #Apple

La #eSIM è già dentro la maggior parte degli #smartphone moderni.Eppure molti utenti:■non sanno di averla■non hanno capito come funziona■rimandano il passaggioIl punto non è tecnologico, ma culturale.Siamo ancora legati all’idea di una SIM “fisica”, qualcosa che si tocca e si sposta. La eSIM invece è invisibile e proprio per questo crea diffidenza. Nel frattempo, aziende come #Apple, #Samsung e #Google l’hanno già resa uno standard nei dispositivi medio-alti.1/nhttps://open.substack.com/pub/dilettafileni/p/la-esim-e-ovunque-il-problema-e-che?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1yq6me

@dosUhm, I'd say I'm about at 5 years or maybe 6. Basically I replace them when the battery dies or I can't charge them or they last only 3-4 hours, or things like these.@janvlug

@parismarx 😂 I love the way you worded this.

@stefano I regularly get phishing emails with unexpanded template code in them.My first reaction was therefore that this mail was never legit.

Sono bei soldi

@kirschner Who could have thought that Apple wouldnt just accept and implement the DMAs requirements?Id be surprised if it ever got fully done without any eternal legal battles...

Someone at #Apple sat at their keyboard and wrote this error message for #Xcode.Maybe replacing devs with an AI tool is a step forward in some cases.I’m not even starting to talk about the fact that the alert looks like it is disabled/in the background but is not.

I was considering getting a new MacBook pro. My M1 worked perfectly for years but I may want to hand it to my kids.Checked store. Wow, base model is 1500$? I thought it'd be more. Ah, it's 14".HOW THE FUCK IS THE 16" 3000$ THAT IS TWICE AS MUCH.Apple, I understand you want to detach me from my cash, but ffs.#apple

@paoloredaelli è vero che Apple ha "simpatizzato" per il mondo Open, ma proprio perché esiste ancora il programma "Microsoft ❤️ Linux", penso che ci siano nella community due pesi e due misure.Apple è cattiva quanto Microsoft perché, proprio come lei, pensa solo a fatturare indiscriminatamente.Che poi i prodotti siano visti come premium (ma ricolmi di schifezze informatiche volute da dopo l'Apple II) posso capirlo, ma comunque non giustifica niente. Grazie comunque del tuo punto di vista

@noybeu The Irish DPC was already a farce more than 10 years ago when I was in a situation where for a non-profit they wanted to move to O365, away from having everything running on VPS.It was argued the data was safe under EU law as the MS were situated in Ireland.....

@soapdogLast straw for me was email. There's something simple about the ecosystem when you use theirs, but when it insisted on putting APnews email about Gaza in junk until I turned off filtering, I decided to switch away.As a datapoint I'm running e/os on the Fairphone 6, and the banking apps are fine so far (Sweden), though android auto has just stopped working again. I don't have any googevil accounts.

50 years of #Apple and a reflection of this letter that some of us heard about.#retroComputing #nostalgia #tech #blog #indieweb #smallweb #blogging https://basic.bearblog.dev/apple-50-years-later-reflection/

I am not a big fan of Apple. Yes, I have been using some of their products for many years now, but I'm trying to shift to alternatives whenever possible. But not everything they do is bad. One of the things I really appreciated was the introduction of ATT, the App Tracking Transparency. This means when you install a new app on your iPhone and start it for the first time, it will ask for consent for tracking. If the user denies, tracking is not allowed.I believe this is a legit and important functionality. Unfortunately, the German media and advertising industry does not share this view and has approached the Federal Cartel office.Apple has proposed a compromise that has been rejected by five assiciations. They are calling on the Federal Cartel Office to prohibit the current ATT tracking query and impose a fine.They argue in the lines of that Apple allows tracking for their own apps without asking permission. (Which sadly is true)I am afraid ATT will be watered down, but hey, why not moving to more secure and privacy friendly alternative like GrapheneOS? When it comes to privacy, I do not want to depend on third parties to determine how much privacy they want to grant me.#Apple #AppTrackingTransparency #Bundeskartellamt #AdTech #Privacy #Antitrust #TechPolicy https://competition.today/2025/02/13/bundeskartellamt-raises-concerns-over-apples-app-tracking-transparency-framework/
