I’m using the iOS Bedtime feature for years now. With yesterday’s iOS 14 update the feature got moved from the Clock app to the Health app. Unfortunately the migration is done by disabling your existing alarm and showing a button to open the Health app to set it up again.

I woke up late and well rested today.

I use a bunch of JetBrains products across multiple machines (RubyMine, GoLand, DataGrip) with the fantastic One Dark theme. Every time I update any of them — without exception — it breaks and I have to manually navigate into the settings and change the editor theme back to “One Dark”. This happens across all computers and products for more than a year now.

As if this terrifying weekly “nothing happened” notification (Apple is stealing Microsoft features!!1) was not dumb enough already, it’s now (freshly upgraded iOS 13.7) also buggy.

Not being able to clean things up in my profiles because someone else is messing up their data somehow is one of my biggest pet peeves.

The “MiniPlayer” (no spaces, according to the Music.app) showcases the attention to detail we are used to from the Music.app:

• “Next” button is cut off by default
• There’s a button to switch to the “MiniPlayer” from the normal view but there’s no way to switch back. Solution is to do it through “Window / Switch from MiniPlayer” or memorize Shift + Cmd + M

I wish there was an alternative to Google Docs.

Cool sorting, Music.app! I inspected the tags with YATE and they are fine, there is no reason for this to happen. Sorting by track number directly works as intended. Good stuff.

It’s nice when service providers offer you a way to export your data. It would be even nicer if it’s useful data.

The error message is telling me to pretty please remove the “DE” prefix of my bank account number.¹ So they know exactly in what way my input is “wrong”. My insurance provider must employ some of the biggest brain 10x engineers on the planet. Maybe some day technology will advance as far as to allow them to automatically correct my input accordingly.

One can only dream.

Almost ten years in, the dickbar phenomenon is only getting worse. Big players make using their mobile site as horrible and painful as humanly possible to coerce you into using their apps. This example from Microsoft feels particularly bad – someone shared a screenshot with me, and not only does their dickbar cover up said screenshot, it doesn’t even have any visible controls to dismiss it. You can dismiss it, by tapping the outside area.

The worst part, however: It is a screenshot. Why is there any HTML involved at all. Just show me the damn picture.
