Anyone know how to fix the Apple Frames shortcut from #macstories to work with the new features but also the iPhone 15 Pro Max even though it itself does have the color option meaning the filename Neds to not have a space after the name? #Shortcuts

macOS 26 Tahoe: The MacStories Review

I’m going to cut to the chase – I like macOS 26 Tahoe a lot. No, it’s not perfect, and yes, I wish Apple had done even more, but that’s the case every year. What I love about Tahoe is its balance. It’s not the sort of thing you can draw up a set of

The web did indeed win…

Even if you think you made up your mind about Electron years ago, I suggest watching the entire video and considering whether this crusade against more accessible, more frequently updated (and often more performant) desktop software still makes sense in 2025.

Is Electron Really That Bad? – MacStories

There are 3 points:

I am glad that some of the Apple die-hards are finally getting to see what the web is actually capable of and hopefully this means more adoption of web technologies

This is also very much possible on the Mac because of how insane the M-processors are.

The chrome team indeed works its butt off to make sure performance is eked out in every platform.

This is yet another reason why the iPad OS really needs to make more of the web come alive. =(

Don’t forget that John Siracusa was on to this when he discussed rendering and scrolling was way smoother in WebKit compared to AppKit

I think we'll primarily only see cases like this - #AppStories #MacStories - doing a 180 on their AI stance because "we have a website that needs to have content" - isn't this exactly what Apple and other Big Tech companies are doing on a larger scale? "we have shareholders that need to make money", scruples be damned. it seems tech and the surrounding tech culture is accelerating towards complete "#enshittification" at a much more alarming pace. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
