This is wildly helpful yet hadn't heard about it til now. Can finally have FileVault enabled and *still* remotely login to a Mac if it reboots. Previously you had to either be at the physical machine or keep FileVault off to get back in.

You can finally manage Macs with FileVault remotely in Tahoe
For years, I've had a couple Macs running at home and at my studio, which I use to remotely manage my video projects or some coding project.
It's nice to have a workstation set up that you can access anywhere via Screen Sharing to check on progress, jot down a note, etc.—and not be tied to a web app or some cloud service.
I run a Wireguard VPN at home and at my studio, so I can remotely log into any of my infrastructure through the VPN—Macs included.
I don't know what is says about me and/or the state of tech in general but I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE plaintextsports.com. An absolute thing of beauty in its simplicity and function.

Worth a reminder: *everyone* you work with is going through something outside of work. They might be dealing with tricky relationships (kids, parents, partner, friends), health concerns, financial pressures, emotional distress or grief, or like a hundred other possible stressors. A little grace and humility can go a long way in helping your coworkers have an OK day at work, and as a result make things a little better for them at home. 💙
Trust me, when someone signs up for your service, nobody wants 50 emails in the first week explaining all the amazing things it does. Like one email every couple weeks, fine, but blasting people every day of the week with your app is just annoying. If your product works well and does what it says, I assure you we'll come back and use it.

Please never change Dropbox, you're still BY FAR the best at file sync and file management. Every other service (iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive) is either bad at the actual job of syncing or is littered with a bunch of cruft nobody wants or asked for. Doing one thing well is so underrated. 🏆🔄
It's well known that multitasking is a myth and that constantly jumping around wastes more time than it saves, but now we're supposed to "orchestrate" like 17 different agents at once and expect amazing outcomes? Sure.
For the love of god, I just want to enter my password. Stop sending me "magic" emails.
When I block an AI hype bro on LinkedIn ("I'll teach you how to 10x your engineers with AI!") it says they won't notify the person that I blocked them. But really I want the opposite – give me an option to definitely let them know I blocked their dumb posts from my timeline forever.
