Can anyone share a way to install macOS 26.4 beta 2 in a VM?

I’m getting a "Device Support Update required" message in VirtualBuddy, and a similar message in UTM.

On the topic of resizing windows: you can actually enlarge the (exterior) clickable area. Just run this and log out and back in.

defaults write -g AppleEdgeResizeExteriorSize 8

(Seems to default to 4. You can revert the change with `defaults delete -g AppleEdgeResizeExteriorSize`)

“I wanted the blue checkmark on LinkedIn. The one that says “this person is real.” In a sea of fake recruiters, bot accounts, and AI-generated headshots, it seemed like a smart thing to do.

So I tapped “verify.” I scanned my passport. I took a selfie. Three minutes later — done. Badge acquired. I felt a tiny dopamine hit of legitimacy.

Then I did what apparently nobody does. I went and read the privacy policy and terms of service.

Not LinkedIn’s. The other company’s”

After reading about #textbundle and seeing that the current QuickLook plugin doesn't support showing referenced local images, I thought I'd fix that. Open Source and all. So I spent several hours first improving "multimarkdown" and then integrating that into Terpstra's QL plugin. Only to notice later that I worked with an outdated MMD version (6.7) and then learning that Sequoia doesn't even support custom QL plugins any more?!

Ugh!

Result is here, anyway:

Another thing Tahoe broke that I don't understand. Toggling Dock Hiding with a shortcut no longer works, at least for me. Anyone else?

These things really bug me.

Ugh. Been using kCFStringEncodingUTF8` where I should have used `NSUTF8StringEncoding` for years in an app, and only noticed now.
Because, they're not the same! (CFString and NSString may be bridged but that doesn't mean their text encoding values are, too.)
Searched for the wrong use and found another place (fortunately, it was only in a harmless NSLog call).

Did you know that there is a Screen Sharing (VNC) app for AppleTV that lets you remote control your Mac(s)?

It's RemoteBuddy! While it was mainly made to use various handheld remote controls with a Mac, it also has the screen sharing feature.

Works also on iOS, but I prefer Remotix on that device for screen sharing to my Macs.
