Here's how to reinstall iOS on an iPhone X when the screen is unresponsive (but still works otherwise).

How to reinstall iOS on an iPhone X where the touchscreen is unresponsive

My daughter's iPhone X got into a state where the touchscreen didn't respond to any touches. We force-restarted it several times by doing the "Up Volume, Down Volume, Hold Power" sequence, but it did not work -- the touchscreen stayed unresponsive.

I plugged it into my Mac with a lightning cable and went to Finder (because iTunes isn't available anymore). Clicking on the iPhone asks me to Trust it, but clicking Trust just results in a spinner. I think it wanted me to log into the iphone and tap Trust there, but of course I can't -- the touchscreen wasn't responding.

Trust me bro

So, I figured out this alternative sequence.

Probably one of my more cursed spelunking expeditions. Run Objective-C from a string passed in from JavaScript.

Running Objective-C (sorta) from JavaScript directly

To do this:

const result = invokeObjC(`[[NSString stringWithString:[[[@[@"One", @"Two", @"Three"] mutableCopy] addObject:@"Four"] componentsJoinedByString:@" | "]] uppercaseString]`)
console.log(result) // "ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR"

I don't know how useful this will be. But ... it was enjoyable to play with!

Getting started with react-native-macos (as of May 2, 2025 -- version 0.78.3)

Getting started with react-native-macos

React Native for macOS is a really powerful implementation of React Native for building Mac apps, but the RN macos documentation (as of today) is straight up wrong and won't work.

Here's how to spin one up!

Prerequisites

This assumes you are on a Mac and have installed all the prerequisites for RN iOS.

Easily maintain lists of items in regular UI nodes or GridContainers in Godot 4.x with JamminList

JamminList

In Godot's 2D UI, I often find myself needing to dynamically add and subtract rows of data (such as in a multiplayer lobby system, an inventory system, etc).

JamminList makes updating lists and grids really easy! Build your UI and provide a template row (and an optional header row), along with a function to update every item in the list/grid, and then let JamminList do the rest.

JamminList.update_list(nodes: Array[Node], items: Array[Variant], header: bool, update_func: Callable)

Example:
