       Needed to run a couple of quick commands over SSH from my phone. I wanted to copy the input for one of them from another app. But each time I backgrounded the SSH client, it disconnected from the server. When I reconnected, VoiceOver's edit rotor was empty of options; no paste. I went back to the original app to try again, at which point VoiceOver decided to simply stop allowing me to read forwards by character within text fields (which it's still doing as I write this). In the end, I memorised it and typed it out by hand. The entire exercise took about 10 minutes instead of the 20 seconds it would've on Windows, and I'm so happy to have this computer in my pocket that is mediocre at everything.

       Also, if you're at all tempted to reply to this with something about Android or otherwise using the right equipment for the job: I highly recommend writing out that response so that it's no longer rattling around inside your head, and then pressing cancel.

       Imagine spending 1,200 dollars on a computer that can't keep a TCP socket open for 45 seconds and doesn't consistently let screen reader users paste from the clipboard. If you're struggling to imagine it, ask a blind person who bought an iPhone.

       Other hits from today's iPhone parade: setting my volume to 0 percent each time I connected a second set of AirPods, despite me needing audio to use my phone at all times. And the ever present favourite, not remembering the directory I was in when choosing a file two minutes ago.

       I feel like my neighbour's dog has the right idea: barking at the moon. I'd probably need screen recognition, a subscription, and to report some unlabelled buttons to do that myself. At which point I'd be asked for a screen recording to demonstrate the issue.
