I've been struggling with disk space on my MacBook Pro for a couple of years now. I keep offloading things to external storage, but what I really want is to buy a new Mac. I'd love a Mac Studio, but there's no way I'm buying an M2. Come on Apple, update it!

Does anyone else routinely get 500 errors when logging into GitLab? For years now, it takes me 4 or 5 attempts to log in because the first few almost always fail.

I’m absolutely shattered 😴 Rebuilding the site from scratch was the right thing to do but it was a huge job. Midnight finishes every night this week to get it over the line.

iOS Dev Weekly - Issue 694 is out! iosdevweekly.com/issues/694/ This is the first issue with a new publishing system, so please let me know if anything doesn't look right, or give me feedback on the redesign. The email is sending very slowly and won't finish for 11 hours. Please bear with that!

I deployed the new @iosdevweekly.com site late yesterday evening and was relieved to see some new subscribers on the list this morning 🎉 I tested it plenty it, but it's nice to see it working. Fingers crossed sending also goes as smoothly 😱

With my phone directly in front of me I say "Hey Siri, 90 minute timer" and the HomePod two rooms away sets a timer. I want the timer on my phone, so I say "Hey Siri, cancel my timer" and my phone says "There are no timers to cancel" while the HomePod ignores me. How's your day going? 😂

Talking of non-Safari browsers, I have an odd problem that I can’t get to the bottom of. Some app is quietly launching Safari on my Mac and I can’t figure out which one it is. I spot it open in the App Switcher and I'm 100% sure it's not being launched by me.
