I hate that poor AI is being shoved into searches. This was on DuckDuckGo where I was searching for differences between the MacBook Air with m3 vs m4. First off, the AI hallucinated a difference in weight; then it said the older machine was slightly larger, even though it correctly noted that the display size is identical; and finally in a different table it claimed that the newer model has an improved keyboard. What a waste of precious natural resources which resulted in incorrect results.
Is it just my machine or is Phone.app on macOS 26.2 not hardware accelerated? Resizing the app's window on MBP with M1 Pro/ 16 GB ram spikes Phone.app process usage to 100% and the resizing drawing drops to ~3-6 fps. I can still drag the whole window around the screen at ProMotion frame rate of 120 fps. In fact, forcing my macbook Pro LCD to refresh at 60 hz actually makes window resizing more performant, probably double the FPS. Tahoe brings brings back memories of Mac OS X 10.0
So frustrating that the #TVapp handles downloaded files so poorly. It never shows embedded artwork correctly, and now with the #ipadOS26 redesign, it does not even display any titles or information at all. Only iTunes store content displays any artwork- portrait mode only, support of which is inconsistent. This design currently relies on that artwork to show the name of the media as there is no Title displayed anywhere. All the blank items are media I created and meticulously tagged.
I don't even know quite how to file a feedback about Safari in Tahoe Public Beta (25A5316i). When I start Safari up it goes to the favorites page with a default pic. The primary buttons and the favorites bar are extremely low contrast. If I turn off the background image and turn it back on, Safari renders the buttons in a much higher contrast, but leaves the favorites bar in still a very hard to read state. PS: I fundamentally hate the idea of (lit.) blurring the page content into the toolbar.

US-based Canadian artist Carol Milne creates glass sculptures that mimic the patterns of knitting and yarn.

Her method involves aspects of knitting, lost-wax casting, mold-making, and kiln-casting to achieve the intricate, seemingly pliable forms of knitted glass.

Sketched this fox after it gave our ducks a good stare-down. All safe, but its beauty had to be captured. This quick study was done in 4B Pentel Graphgear pencil with BluTack to blend and soften fur texturesโ€“balancing sleek fur with that rugged tail was the tricky part! #sciart #artyear

The best new Podcast I have found in a while from 404 Media. https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/64e387653cabbc001153a5a5?ref=404media.co

I think the journalists there are doing amazing work and it feels like my dollars are going directly into hard core reporting and not to squandering budgets on unnecessary opulence.

Great films fact-checked and visualised scene by scene. Is there really such a thing as a โ€œtrueโ€ true story in Hollywood? ๐ŸŽฌ https://buff.ly/3hByo0b
