so scared and excited for whatever they decide to do to the iPad Mini this week. I’ve been a huge iPad Mini user since the 1st gen, it’s such a perfectly portable larger screen device that really does all I ask of it. A matte screen protector on my current gen one turned it into a perfect ereader.

Is the beloved iPad mini the best iPad? (Post) https://sixcolors.com/post/2026/10/is-the-beloved-ipad-mini-the-best-ipad/

they did the iPad Mini so dirty. It has literally all the features one could want in 2026…including WATER RESISTANCE but no “ProMotion” 120hz display…wtf yall, where are you even finding a 60hz OLED in 2026.

The “ProMotion” name needs to go away, high refresh rate displays are not a pro feature anymore…even in Apple’s own line up, look at the iPhone 17 regular, and Duo.

I wasn’t exactly prepared for getting approval so quick, these updates all got knocked out this morning. Was expecting to have a few days 😂😅

Trophikos 1.2.0 has been submitted for review! We’ve got iPhone Duo support! We’ve got a new “Want to make” list! We’ve got richer logging details! We’ve got bug fixes! It’s a whole lot of new and improved stuff! #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #iPhoneDuo #Swift

The most exciting part about the launch of the iPhone Duo for me has been seeing some apps finally adding support for iPad. Bluesky being on the top of that list.

2 years and 20 million downloads later... Delta 2.0 is finally here 🚀 It’s our BIGGEST UPDATE EVER 💜 🫧 All-new Liquid Glass design 🎮 Sega Genesis 🏆 RetroAchievements 📖 iPhone Duo support … and so much more Available NOW on AltStore PAL and the App Store!

Trophikos 1.2.0 with iPhone Duo support is coming!! Soon??! I finished up with my in-depth Device Hub simulator tests yesterday and now just need to validate on device with a regular iPhone and iPad. taking a 10+ day vacation and having a big release coming out at work, have taken up all my time.

@snell.zone ends this article with a call to action for developers of recipe apps…creating a web version. I had been experimenting with this for Trophikos early on in development but shelved it. Since HomeView doesn’t have much in terms of 3rd-party app support…Trophikos for the web is coming soon!

it is kinda weird that Apple is shipping a “kitchen computer” and the only 3rd party app category they are supporting right away is Audio/Video…did they forget they have a Food & Drink category?

Diligently working on the Trophikos update that supports the iPhone Duo and some major updates to the logging features. I’m happy to see delivery dates slip further and further out, gives me more time to polish before more than 10 people have a Duo. #iOSDev #BuildInPublic #SwiftUI #iPhoneDuo

If you enjoy people telling you what you just said but with different words, then you'll really enjoy social media.

Horror folks! Hello 👋 As we are in scary season, I’d love any recommendations for underseen horror titles you always go to bat for! I’m hoping to watch as many new-to-me titles this month. Thanks so much, and happy Halloween month 🎃💀👻

acting like this wasn't already a known issue with basically every foldable is weird. the inner display literally has to bend, and creasing/wear over time comes with that. making the wear layer replaceable seems more like Apple designing around the limitation than some huge “admission.”

Zandalee?? I'm glad the article actually acknowledges how messy that movie is, almost feels like the characters are written to be aliens learning how to navigate human emotions.

From sizzling drifter noir After Dark, My Sweet to sweaty, New Orleans-set Zandalee, Justin LaLiberty serves up twenty deep-cut erotic thrillers you probably haven’t seen. Read the full story on Journal: https://boxd.it/3o4

going through this list, and realizing how many of these films are only available on DVD and some are only available on VHS, makes me wonder why letterboxd put them on the list...how is the average person going to watch ANY of this.

this Firefox redesign might be the straw that breaks the camels back…I’ve been toying with chrome for a bit already, might be time to just make the switch.

Haven't posted much about Trophikos lately, but I've been busy! Lots of UI polish to make everything look great on the Duo! Still got a ways to go, and making some nice, meaningful upgrades to Logging too... #BuildInPublic #iOSDev #iPhoneDuo #SwiftUI

Had to really sit and think about this. I picked my absolute favorite or most important entries for Zelda, Pokemon, and RE. Otherwise I picked based on how formative or important some of these games have been to me. #my9games

2004/2005 were extremely important to teenage me. HL2 and RE4 scratched a very specific itch my teenage brain, I still replay those games every few years. Shadow of the Colossus made me realize video games and technology are a kind of magic.

Perfect Sunday morning, making progress through Castlevania: SoTN thanks to Gamma on my iPad Air. It’s kind of amazing to me still that Apple finally opened up and officially allowed emulators on the #AppStore.

No. Now pay me for my research and time please.
