Amen.
The settings menus in recent iOS & macOS releases have been an absolute mess.

Remember seeing these in Iceland
Maybe we should be looking inward as to why solar isn't more easily deployable in the US. Local zoning, permitting, and community opposition are some of the top road blocks there...
Redwood Materials already recovers 95% so why is this news?
Why is this news? Reid isn't relevant.
As soon as I saw the title I immediately knew what the comment section would look like (and rightfully so).

I've had a ton of success when pairing Opus 4.7 for planning w/ DeepSeek V4 Flash in opencode. Best part is DeepSeek V4 Flash is Free through opencode Zen.

Bingo
Thankfully deduplication is a thing ;)
Re:Bugs Apple Loves on Thursday January 22, 2026 @09:50PM (#46727758)
Solid list. I’d like to add the following:

- All: Contact syncing with Office 365 results in stored birthdays getting moved forward by one day. - macOS: Bluetooth audio stuttering when going in and out of full screen view in a given app such as PowerPoint. - macOS: Unlock using Apple Watch will randomly stop working - macOS: Safari suddenly going out to lunch and taking 30+ seconds to load a page (fixed by force quitting the entire browser).

Really enjoyed this article and how it was written, especially the “tookr-jerbs” part.

Just bought one and the accessory for my opener yesterday, looking forward to getting it installed next week.
You can also trigger those same functions via a smart watch or mobile phone using Siri shortcuts (if you're an iOS user).
This move by Chamberlain screams malice in order to squeeze more profits out of their platform. Either they come out with homekit integration for their existing hub or I'm ripping them out in favor of something like meross.
Re:New York State Senate passes prohibitions on non-competes on Wednesday June 14, 2023 @05:57PM (#36333342)
This needs to be passed in the remaining 49 states ASAP. When moving over to my current gig, my previous employer forced me to sit out for 6 months. Their agreement was so broad that it pertained to anywhere where there was phone or email in the world. Also applied to any customers, partners, or competitors so basically I couldn’t work in tech at all (since they are a major reseller and everybody procures something from them).

Hint: Their company color is fuchsia

TL:DR; Radar is not the silver bullet here
My vision-based Tesla rarely if ever experiences phantom braking unlike my previous radar-equipped Model 3 (it was pretty common in 2018 / 2019).
