Don't forget about those common areas too! I've seen many cases where hallways, elevators, and stairwells were included in the square footage numbers.

Thanks, and you can go ahead and ban all the regular advertising too while you're at it.

The "old" ChatGPT app is now called ChatGPT "Classic", and new features may be available only in the new app.

So the separate "Codex" app is being sunset. I'm not thrilled about this, since the new monolithic app is monstrous at close to 2GB, and takes longer to launch, and I can't easily see my chat history.

Fair, but what about names that are specific enough to give an attacker a clue to a potential attack surface, like "authelia.example.com" - now they know you've likely got an Authelia setup, and can start digging for exploitable CVEs etc. I'm in the process of removing all my individual certs and replacing with a wildcard cert served by Traefik. Is that a bad idea?

I was also a fan of Hex, but development has stalled. I tried FluidVoice (found it buggy) and Handy (had problems with hotkey) before eventually landing on TypeWhisper[0].

It works very well, and has a few more bells and whistles without feeling bloated.

For the last 6 decades or so, a computer was a machine assumed to operate with high levels of precision and deterministic outputs. Such precision enabled spacecraft like Voyager 1 & 2 to travel billions of miles from Earth, staying on course, semi-operational and sending telemetry- 50 years after launch.

Now we have machines that, when asked to produce a paperclip, may instead produce a butter knife, or a banana, or maybe just a "try again later".

These modern "tools" are quite a different animal. They're more akin to roulette wheels that generate massive amounts of heat and CO2.

Nothing compared to the 250% rise in HDD prices over the past year...

Oh man that's nice. When I was in high school slugging along with a Mac LC, I dreamt of having the amazing Quadra 700 with its superior speed and graphics. Crazy that the price was $5,700 ($14K in 2026) and you just picked it out of the trash.

I'd expect the trillion dollar transnational corporation to do right

you would? has any trillion dollar corporation ever?

This will surely end well

I wish there was built in iSCSI initiator support on macOS. All of the halfway decent third-party ones either broke many OS versions ago (GlobalSAN) or cost a small fortune ($250 for Atto Xtend)

If anyone knows someone at GitHub and can tap them on the shoulder, please ask them to revert this terrible change.

"They" is 1 guy (George Nachman) who has tirelessly maintained this app in his spare time for 15 years. This is an arms race that's simply impossible for solo devs or even small teams to win. It's going to have a real chilling effect. I've seen a few popular open source projects take themselves private recently (eg cal.com) due to this.

Would be great to see a fresh macOS App Store release. The current one (3+ years old) has a few sharp edges.

Thaw is the fork that has been updated and currently still maintained.

I don't have statistics on that, but I can say that Verizon FIOS NG-PON2 service in the US (which is what I have) does not offer native V6, so yes, sadly I am forced to use a tunnel broker in 2026.

The popular Hurricane Electric (HE.net) IPv6 tunnel broker service management page is offline due to what appears to be an expired domain.

I meant: the keyboard is highly unreliable.

If you think FaceID is hit or miss, I guess you haven't tried the keyboard lately?

Nice looking site! Would like to know more about the tech stack. The GitHub link at the bottom of the page 404s for me.

Is it possible to disable Safe Browsing AND also not have to manually click to confirm that "yes, I actually do want to keep the file I just downloaded, thank you" every. single. time.

"AI-powered item naming" is literally one of their new features. Not sure which is more embarrassing: releasing this feature, or using it.

Can we please have some calm, stable, boring years please, before I'm dead? The last 5 years have already been "wild" enough. The world is unrecognizable. I'm unprepared for further wildness.

Is that code still active? I just tried to use it to buy the Pro version but it says it's invalid...

Ringing up expensive grocery items as cheap SKU at Whole Foods self checkout...

Going on shopping sprees and then calling the credit card company to report it as fraud...

Buying a fancy dress to wear for a few nights out and then returning it...

All things people close to me have done, or continue to do on a regular basis

Talking about a relatively "privileged" class of people here- multiple homes, multiple cars, kids in private school- not struggling single moms working double shifts to put food on the table.

Something's broken in our society.

Customers simply don't care. I don't recall a single complain about microplastics in the past 10 years.

You will be outcompeted if you waste your time reinventing the wheel and optimizing for stuff that doesn't matter. There is some market for safe, environmentally-friendly products, but you can clearly see that the companies that make them are struggling.

ok.

This is so bad it doesn't even seem humanly possible. Maybe this decision was made by Copilot itself.

Is there anything like this for macOS?

I pray you are right. Still, there's no guarantee that the next business model won't be an order of magnitude more user-hostile.

would very much like to see a small example of how to create, consume, and destroy those FIFOs...
