Energy Mode M4 Pro: High Power/Automatic seems to top out at ~65W. Low Power mode at ~25W. Doing a build in LP mode took 70% longer than the other two modes.

My M4 (non pro) Mini buying guide: Storage 256 or 512. 256GB is a pain but doable, 512GB is easy to live with but $$$$. For both get an external 1-2TB SSD for things like Music/Photos. RAM stay at 16GB, if you need more, upgrade to the Pro. 10GbE upgrade is reasonably priced if you are likely...

Does Apple use the same debugger we use?!? Hit breakpoint, po a couple objects, wait 40 seconds for the answer. Repeat. It is way faster to add some print statements, recompile and run the app these days (Xcode 16.1)

I decided to update my nightstand iPad because it only supports iOS 15. Had a newer old iPad that I was planning to replace it with but apparently that only supports iOS 17 and the battery has gone down 50% in about an hour of “usage” (updating OS/apps). Oof.

Realistically the only product I was likely to buy today was the AirPods Max and well since Apple doesn't seem to care about it, I really can't either. New watch looks nice, maybe when it goes on sale. Phone wise, only issue with my 13 Mini is the battery life is getting crappy. Might switch...

@dimillian@mastodon.social absolutely not the approach I'd ever risk taking, but I can see why you would. I wish you good luck with it, I think it's something that should be allowed in apps but got to imagine it's not going to be something Apple likes (if they notice it).
