@gruber what is your iOS ad blocker of choice these days?

Chris Atzinger May 21

What is the "best" or most "recommended" ad-blocker for macOS and iOS? I've been using 1Blocker for as long as I can remember, but it's started to let ads in on some pages.

After nearly six months of work, I'm thrilled to introduce Shortcuts Playground:

A plugin for Claude Code and Codex to create native Apple shortcuts with natural language.

Type a sentence in, get a shortcut back. It can one-shot complex shortcuts, make changes, and remix old shortcuts. Full Shortcuts action library supported.

Free and open source. Install it in your favorite agent here: https://github.com/viticci/shortcuts-playground-plugin

My story on how and why I made this: https://www.macstories.net/stories/introducing-shortcuts-playground/

@jsnell I haven't heard of this... I'm going to look into it and see how I can use it as well as potentially deploy it across our employees. Thanks!

MacBook Air M5 or MacBook Pro M5? I only now realized the Pro comes with 120 Hz display vs 60 on the MBA. I use a 13” iPad Pro a lot and I wonder if I’d notice the difference… I love the thin and lightness of the Air and was leaning towards it because I don’t need the Pro/Max chips.

then you’re all set.

If there is a button that says:

then click that.

Or you may see it automatically download an update and see:

Aside: #pwn2own is TOMORROW and they hit capacity for the first time in their 19-year history.

Today’s a good day to get/install OS and browser updates on all your critical devices.

Consider turning off wifi on non-critical devices (putting to sleep is no longer enough because many devices still listen to or contact the internet while asleep) until you have had a chance to safely update their software (perhaps after software updates are available in response to pwn2own demos and disclosures).

Worked with Apple for over 2 hours this morning collecting data for AppleCare Support. I'm having an issue with new MacBook Neo's not being able to add AppleCare+ for Business.

@tbridge I think I've got everything figured out. The UI isn't ideal. Firewall and FileVault have green checkmarks, and Activation Lock was red with an exclamation mark... after looking more into activation lock you wouldn't want it on, but the admin ability to simply unlock.
