macOS mystery disk space reporting strikes again: My 1TB drive was filled with 600GB of APFS snapshots that none of the usual tools were able to clear.

They turned out to be failed time machine backups that you can clear in Disk Utility, but that's not shown or explained anywhere, they were just lumped in with "System Data".

Amazing AI product information bot you’ve got there Amazon – what could go wrong.

Note that it suggested the question it incorrectly answered.

Apple News remains an utterly broken experience if you happen to be in a country it hasn’t launched in yet and are using an iPhone. Links regularly just don’t work and they don’t fall back to the original website either.
Thanks to all the #marchintosh reminders I finally got around to taking the pram battery out of the iMac G4. Hopefully it’ll last a few more decades now…
Watched Mary Poppins with the kids for the first time – got to say it really holds up. It’s only the 3rd thing they’ve really watched and it was a real rollercoaster of emotions.
And how good were those matte paintings?
Just love the now playing view in iOS 17 when album artwork gets the full bleed treatment – and the subtle animation is just 🤌#ui #ios #music #ios17
Real artists ship I guess?
Note: App Store IAP Sandbox definitely wonky but the receipt signing cert change might still mean it's your app broken, not just App Store infrastructure. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=ytb7qj0x#:~:text=Starting%20January%2018%2C%202023%2C%20the,t%20require%20changes%20to%20apps

Upcoming changes to the App Store receipt signing certificate - Latest News - Apple Developer

Starting January 18, 2023, the App Store receipt signing certificate will use a new WWDR intermediate certificate. The existing intermediate certificate expires on February 7, 2023. In most cases, this certificate change won’t require changes to apps. However, we recommend reviewing how you verify the sale of your apps and in-app purchases from the App Store to make sure your apps aren’t impacted.If you verify App Store transactions using the AppTransaction and Transaction APIs, or the verifyReceipt web service endpoint, no action is required.If you validate App Store receipts on device using the App Store receipt signing certificate, make sure you haven’t hardcoded the intermediate certificate and verify that the chain of trust for the container’s signature matches the Apple Inc. Root Certificate.Additional details on App Store receipt validation: Validating receipts with the App Store Choosing a receipt validation technique
