Ugh, iOS 13 deprecates LaunchImages and now I’m forced to use a Storyboard.

I draw so many things programatically and I can’t use those in a launch screen storyboard because launch screen storyboards don’t allow custom classes.

I’ve now got pfSense configured so most devices on my home network route their traffic, including DNS over a VPN gateway (There’s an exclusion list, such as our Apple TV).

My wife and I are also running VPN clients on our iPhones so when we leave the home network our iPhones will automatically connect to a VPN.

This is a big fuck you to the mandatory meta data retention laws.

The HP T620 Thin Client really does make a nice piece of hardware for running pfSense. It just looks like a slightly bigger router.

TIL it’s possible for iOS to bypass a VPN on a specific WiFi network.

I’m using this to automatically turn on my VPN when I leave home and turn it off when I get home.

Now where’s my bus?

Daily can now do calls with up to 50 participants on Safari AND Firefox. Previously this was only for Chrome.

Working with both the pre iOS 10 and post iOS 10 push notifications API is really challenging. They’re completely different.

Being able to copy text from your Mac to your iPhone has gone to be one of the most useful aspects of continuous handoff.

That said, if I really gave a shit about posterity I wouldn’t have ever sold my original iPhone.

Brought my iPhone 5 to work to do some testing on iOS 9. It’s running iOS 7 currently and I kind of want to leave it as-is for posterity.

Why yes I do rely on size changes to build an adaptive layout https://useyourloaf.com/blog/predicting-size-classes-in-ios-13/

Good summary of changes needed for iOS 13.

Downloaded Xcode 11 GM Seed and compiled Antenna Mate.

Looks like you *have* to use a storyboard (or xib) now.

I guess I can just put my image in the storyboard and achieve the same thing?

DuckDuckGo pleasantly surprised me this morning when it switched to “dark mode”.

Siri doesn’t understand “The Unforgiven Two” but it does understand “The Unforgiven Eye Eye”

Voice is hard.

Turns out the work around is in the release notes for Xcode 10.2.1.

`sudo mkdir '/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 9.3.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/usr/lib/swift'
`

Ugh, is this really what I have to do to get an iOS 9 simulator in Xcode 10.3? https://stackoverflow.com/a/57296026
