I just upgraded from macOS 15 to macOS 27. I am very glad I skipped macOS 26 and migration was pretty smooth (so far - knock on wood). I am still not a fan of the visual changes - but still better than macOS 26. Let's celebrate the small wins.

I just found typesafe.ai I still do not have enough details to decide what to think of it. But the classifier interface feels so much more suited to a lot of tasks that people somehow stuff into the LLM pipeline. It feels a lot more like classic machine learning.

I you want o have a quick laugh: I just shot myself in the foot because Apple insists that CFBundleVersion cannot be reset for a given bundle. Now I have to add 30000000000000000 to the bundle version for this project - forever. I'll add this to my list of Apple frustrations.

Many people have DeGoogle'ed their lives already. For me, migrating away from Gmail has always been the hardest thing. But it seems I am on the clock now. support.google.com/mail/answer/... No longer supporting aliases for sending is a deal breaker.

I have tried quite a few slicers over the years. Eventually I settled on Orca. Simplify3D -> Slic3r -> PrusaSlicer -> SuperSlicer -> OrcaSlicer But I have to say - the new PrusaSlicer 3 looks pretty convincing. Looking forward to trying a release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMup... #3dprinting

Darn, this looks interesting: github.com/tailscale/ta... "Tailscale without Tailscale, by Tailscale" The only thing that makes me hesitate beside the usual nerd testing for now: "Tailcat is free to use, but it comes with no API or CLI stability promises"

GitHub appears to have opted anyone using the CLI into sending telemetry they will use to inform product decisions. This is sneaky and should have been an opt-in decision, not opt-out. Disable it with `gh config set telemetry disabled`. cli.github.com/telemetry

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

So, apparently IMDB got bought by Amazon ages ago but now pushes the use of the Amazon account. I guess the surprise is only really the time it took. I don't mind allowing to connect accounts - but forcing universal logins is so bad. It always has - it will always will be.
