Oh I thought it was to increase the chance of supply chain attacks and being caught in dependency hell.

If you want to make a designer have a nervous breakdown, upload a copy of Helvetica and make every second or third character be Arial.

The shape of Claude’s writing style is horrible to read and easy to spot, and that’s a ground truth.
I use an ink pot and quill. My code is beautiful, but only calligraphically.
This switch happened in macOS 15.4, it was pretty easy to miss.

Just get the BOM app, nothing else comes close for accurate weather here.

I’ve been looking for something exactly like this, thank you! Now I just need to find the same thing for Windows and macOS…
It’s all turned on by default even in Windows 11 Enterprise. You can turn everything off via AD Group Policy or your MDM but you have to go through the labyrinth of Windows policies and find them all. Thankfully you only have to do it once and then push it to all of your devices.
Re:iOS 26.2 Release Notes on Friday December 12, 2025 @05:45PM (#46249960)
This has been in the developer release notes since the first 26.2 beta so I doubt it’s related.

I feel like the same could be said of an at the time adult looking at my IRC or MSN Messenger logs from when I was a teen.

I’ve been going through the same thing. Take a look at Onshape, it’s also free for education. I haven’t had a chance to check it out myself yet but I hear good things.

If you think this is bad then don’t check the version of bash it ships with.

Here’s one for HN readers, you can now find jq in /usr/bin/ in Sequoia.
While I don’t disagree with you, if Microsoft started gating premium Windows features to their own hardware, both the US and EU would serve them the antitrust suit to end all antitrust suits.
Have you looked at SwiftUI?

I have found Wi-Fi 6/ax is mature enough to deploy now. I wouldn’t be touching Wi-Fi 7, considering it hasn’t even been ratified yet.

One generation behind is usually where you want to be because your clients usually haven’t caught up anyway.

Just went through this for a large site installation. We had to reach out to vendors and have them send us trial units because performance data was impossible to find, it was incredibly time consuming setting up a proof of concept for each vendor AP. Also, this is only really an option open to people who are doing big deployments because it isn’t worth the vendor’s time otherwise.

I’d recommend looking at Juniper Mist for high congestion areas because their auto mode actually works and adapts to changes in the environment.

I do have to ask though, do you really need enterprise Wi-Fi? It’s not very neighbourly but buying a high end consumer Wi-Fi router that lets you pick DFS channels, picking the least congested channel, and setting transmit power as high as it will go should do the job in an apartment.
