iPadOS 18 Audio Capture Anecdotes
Aiko Transcript All right folks, it’s your favorite thing, favorite time. It’s time to play around with the changes to audio capture specifically, an iPadOS 18.1 beta 2. I don’t actually, I don’t know if this is as a beta 2. Two things I noticed, the thing that they introduced in 16 I believe, which is called mic modes, where you could switch between standard wide spectrum and voice isolation.

Transcript Oh was just behind a Tesla Model X for a moment and just long enough to notice that they I mean it looks like it I don’t even know they put a SpaceX badge on the rear as in where the brand badge would be I don’t actually remember if I don’t think the word Tesla is there but uh I didn’t get a long enough look at it to tell but uh it was square but very homemade looking and certainly it completely unrelated to SpaceX’s actual branding and I just I don’t use the word lame very often I don’t know if that seems like it’s kind of for a reason but that’s just the lamest fucking thing that I’ve seen in a good while and it’s a shame that all that work I did tracking down the type typeface so that I could make a parody Tesla brand logo instead of saying Tesla says Musker literally no one has ever laughed at that I don’t know why this is a you guys problem that’s your problem man

Glass Profile Ingestion
As much as I genuinely enjoyed my free trial + then some paid time using Glass, I’m just not able/interested in image capture right now to continue paying $6.99 a month for it. I was pretty excited, then, to discover that micro.blog’s macOS app offers support for importing the .zip profile export files Glass creates, and to report that I have imported 18 images from my profile to this blog successfully.

Typora ⇨ Marked 2 "Support"
Despite the beautiful myriad of text editors available for macOS, I’ve still found myself using Typora on my old machine. When I recently (read: ridiculously late) discovered that Brett Terpstra’s venerable Marked 2 can be schemed (sortof) with x-marked://, it immediately occurred to me that I could use a custom Typora Export preset to add “integration” between these two apps: open 'x-marked://open?file=${currentPath}&raise=true'

ChatGPT Responds to My Old Apple Dev Forums Question
Back in July, 2021, I posted a thread on the Apple Developer forums asking for clarification on the differences between hardware keyboard support on iPad and iPhone. The response… blew my mind, suffice it to say, but I would like to take a moment to champion ChatGPT, of all fucking things, for its reply when given the same request and asked to respond: Hi David, Thank you for your detailed question and the context provided.
Infinite Flight’s prettiest views imo.
Decoding Apple Maps Guide URLs
Revisiting the noted release of beta dot maps dot apple dot com just now, I found my way back to back to a “mystery” I deserted some years ago[^1] when “Guides” were first added to Apple Maps. You can see the result inputted into the ChatGPT conversation pasted below of using the share sheet on my personal “Columbia Area Essentials” Guide (see above.) You’ll note that said URL is very different from the officially published (and entirely useless to any real person as far as I can tell) Guides (ex: “The best things to do in Paris” - https://guides.
