@marcoarment @atpfm I felt so seen with your journey of switching to Chrome. I felt the same way late last year. I feel so much more productive now with 1Password *always* working.
Shameful. I see users hit by scam ads on Facebook ALL THE TIME

“Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day.” https://www.reuters.com/investigations/meta-is-earning-fortune-deluge-fraudulent-ads-documents-show-2025-11-06/ #news #Meta #SocialMedia #infosec

Same as iPhone Mirroring. It's a cool feature but there aren't that many use cases for it. I’d take both of these out and then add Passwords instead.

@dmoren Great job! As someone that lives in Seattle, I did wince at a certain answer. The clip is picking up steam on the Seattle subreddit too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/s/gFQXDfnTGa
I'm affected! Looks like there's a run on fresh water at Safeway on 15th--none available for delivery at least.

Approximately 3,000 households and businesses in Seattle's Crown Hill are being told to boil their water following a water main break. The advisory is expected to remain in effect for up to 48 hours. #Seattle https://atyourservice.seattle.gov/2025/04/03/water-outage-in-seattle-crown-hill-neighborhood/

Ok, I think I now have a system to force photoanalysisd to kick in, thanks to help from you fine folks - basically, force the Mac to be as idle as possible and then it kicks in:

Before I leave my Mac for the night:
- quit all Mac apps
- reboot, make sure no apps are running
- open Photos, then quit Photos

Then we play the waiting game, and usually within an hour it seems to kick in. Screenshot is what I saw this morning, and I've already noticed more faces found. Also THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
