A nice technical read about why macOS is more reliable and doesn’t need a reinstall. macOS, at least the system volume is immutable and sealed. The article walks through the process of installing and updating macOS itself.

“Finally: a David Warner emoji.” — @jsnell on MacBreak Weekly episode 966. #iOS #macOS #emoji #tron

#macOS Sidecar has gotten really reliable since I first started using it. So has initiating Personal Hotspot from the Mac.

They both used to fail quite frequently and to the point where you'd have to reboot either or even both devices to get the connection going again.

But I started using Sidebar again more recently and not once has the connection dropped or failed to establish.

This also made me realise that Personal Hotspot is very reliable now.

I was having fun with ChatGPT as a replacement tool for Photoshop / Blender. My goal wasn't to make a perfect replacement for these icons, I was doodling with the system to see how it performs different tasks. The final version still needs some Photoshop to polish the pixels. These icons are the best looking ones, some were really bad or I didn't achieve my goal at all.

It's cool that it faked LeBron James signature and others.

Has any #MacOS user have #TimeMachine start making effectively full backups every time? Using BackupLoupe it looks as if every file it backs up (including all of say /Applications) is being picked because the Attributes Modified / Last Accessed timestamps are changing. For stuff I know I've never touched.

Could this be #Spotlight off on a frolic?
