Removing Homebridge From HomeKit and Re-Adding It to Another Home
I recently set up a new completely new Home in the Home app and needed to move all my stuff over from one to the other. This turned out harder than I had anticipated.
My Photography (108) — MacBook Pro on Desk in Perspective, 2020
I love how perspective not only makes the MacBook look tiny, but also breaks its symmetry.

Steve Jobs: “This doesn’t do that. I want you to make this, do that.” →
John Gruber, on Daring Fireball, has a fantastic story about Steve Jobs:
I’ve told this story on podcasts, but I’m not sure I’ve ever written it, and I think the time is right. Steve Jobs was on medical leave for the first half of 2009. When he returned in early summer, he devoted most of his attention and time to crafting and launching the original iPad, which was unveiled in April 2010. After that, he had meetings scheduled with teams throughout the company. One such meeting was about MacBooks. Big picture agenda. Where does Steve see the future of Mac portables? That sort of thing. My source for the story was someone on that team, in that meeting. The team prepared a veritable binder full of ideas large and small. They were ready to impress. Jobs comes in carrying a then-brand-new iPad and sets it down next to a MacBook the team had ready for demos. “Look at this.” He presses the home button on the iPad: it instantly wakes up. He does it again. The iPad instantly wakes up. Jobs points to the MacBook, “This doesn’t do that. I want you to make this” — he points to the MacBook — “do that” — he points to the iPad. Then he picks up the iPad and walks out of the meeting.
Steve Jobs would have fucking loved these M1 Macs.

This is the one with the intercom feature for HomePods, but make sure to go through the on-boarding process in the Home app first, since it doesn’t seem to want to work otherwise.
Five People Hacked Apple for 3 Months and Here’s What They Found →
Sam Curry:
Between the period of July 6th to October 6th myself, Brett Buerhaus, Ben Sadeghipour, Samuel Erb, and Tanner Barnes worked together and hacked on the Apple bug bounty program.
There were a total of 55 vulnerabilities discovered with 11 critical severity, 29 high severity, 13 medium severity, and 2 low severity reports. These severities were assessed by us for summarization purposes and are dependent on a mix of CVSS and our understanding of the business related impact. As of October 6th, 2020, the vast majority of these findings have been fixed and credited. They were typically remediated within 1-2 business days (with some being fixed in as little as 4-6 hours).
I was genuinely surprised Apple reacted so fast. The whole thing is well worth a read.

This is a small bug-fix update but well worth it, considering how buggy 14.0 is. I’m currently on the 14.2 beta and even that one is far from perfect.

Don’t forget to backup your device first and please be warned — iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 are still chock full of small bugs. You might have some software issues with your apps too, if they haven’t been updated yet.

My Photography (102) — The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, Warsaw, Poland, 2008
This shot was taken a few minutes before the fireworks show of The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. I was lucky enough to have a pretty good spot to take the shots from, but I really wish I had had a better camera back then.

Dream Fulfilled
I fulfilled another one of my decade long dreams today. It was extremely emotional, but since this was a material dream, it was nowhere close to what I felt at my wedding. I am writing these words three days later and I still can’t believe it finally came to fruition. Iwona already pinched me — didn’t help.
My Photography (100) — Fluffy, Warsaw, Poland, 2007
Squirrels have the best PR of all rodents — they’re just so cute.

My Photography (99) — Meerkat Squirrel, Warsaw, Poland, 2007
This shot is not only has terrible composition, but it’s also very soft and underexposed (thank you RAW!), however this squirrel is much too adorable to not post it. I did have only a second or so to take the photo, so there’s that, but I have to admit, the quality difference in DSLR sensors has come a long way in recent years.
