Any recommendations for a kitchen table top-friendly Bluetooth keyboard I can use exclusively to jot down small notes or tasks?

I’d like to ween myself off the habit of using the iPad on the sofa or lounge chair around the coffee table, or at the dining table.

@countablenewt wait am I seeing the News app in the Games app? The one where I get updated on wars, global and local crises etc?

Elden Beast slain. Only took 1.5 years.

What next?

Intrigued how this rough edge will get refined when macOS 26 graduates beta.

Will they full-bleed the horizontal bars behind the sidebar, deeming it part of the content?

Or maybe they’ll match the colour(s) of the horizontal bar to the content, a la Safari’s favourites bar, and further trade off legibility / visual stability?

The thing I notice most about Safari on macOS 26 (Beta 2): I can't tell which tab I'm using right now.

@felix_schwarz right, I’d have expected that much.

It hurts as a long time Mac user to suspect that Apple is no longer the same company that used to pride itself in handling details like this.

@felix_schwarz ouch. No warning either? You’re just supposed to know this beforehand?
@johnvoorhees I found it useful enough for unambitious tasks. Pairs ok with Codex.

My current workflow: give out some tasks to Codex, perform a real-life chore, review Codex's code changes in a GitHub PR, maybe check out the branch locally and fix issues that failed Xcode Cloud CI build, finish off the PR.

Open questions:
- Best way to get Codex to produce a PR that nearly works, given it can't run xcodebuild?
- Any way to get Codex to work with comments etc on a PR once it's open?
- Best way to handle merge conflicts? Esp with the Xcode project file.

Last few days I've been trying vibe coding. Just 6 months ago I was a skeptic, now I fear that line-by-line coding will feel like writing assembly in the near future.

There's going to be a lot of changes in both software development and the world at large.

It felt terrifying at first but now I'm beginning to get excited.
