I set up the #homeassistant macOS app to monitor when my webcam is on and then set a warning notification on the Inovelli Blue zigbee light switch outside the door. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/control-leds-and-led-effects-on-inovelli-black-red-blue-and-white-series-devices-by-floor-area-group-device-id-or-entity/681056 made it easy!

I just got duped to install malware instead of Claude Code. Code signing blocked it (I think). Luckily, this is in a VM so I can reset it. But it gave me a real shock as to how bad default Google is these days (I use Kagi which has no ads, plus an adblocker).

Our laws should be updated so that if a website takes money in exchange for ad placement, they should be responsible if that ad leads users to obvious harm or scams.

A giant empty space in the settings in the macOS 26.1 Phone app. The lack of UI / UX polish in Tahoe is just unreal. Can you imagine if Windows 95 or MacOS 8 had shipped like this? #apple

I'm amazed at the UX issues in the ‘26 OS releases. Here's pressing the up arrow for previous searches in Spotlight, followed by how it looks setting the UI to tinted (yes, it's worse!).

“Photo Exported with Lower Image Quali...
Export to disk to maintain full image quality.”

This has got to be one of the weirdest Photos app flows. Why would dragging an image not give you the original photo quality in the first place?

Also, truncation is not a content strategy.

Someone at Paramount forgot to set a favicon!

Woah. I guess it’s possible to somehow run code on the host via an SD card? Similar to DMA vulnerabilities in Thunderbolt and USB?

Is this automated filtering of artist bios in Apple Music gone bad, or did the label actually submit it this way?
