Sébastien Page ∙ Updated July 29, 2022

Just like you can easily insert a period when you double-press the Space bar on your iPhone or iPad, this feature is also available on Mac running macOS Sierra and later.

While I find the feature helpful on iOS, it actually gets in the way of my typing habits on my Mac. For that reason, I have chosen to stop my Mac from adding a period at the press of a double space.

If successful, this would be welcome news for the jailbreak community, allowing movement between firmwares for which you have saved your blobs, even after Apple's signing windows have closed.

Cody Lee ∙ December 16, 2016

Twitter on Friday announced that it would not be shutting down its popular video social media service, but will instead transition it into a 'Vine Camera' app. The new app will be a very pared-down version of the current client, and will be available in January.

With Vine Camera, you'll still be able to record looping 6-second videos, but your only other options will be to share it to Twitter or save it to your phone. The goal here is to allow folks to continue to create Vines, but to move the social media aspect to Twitter.
