I find the 
new icon rendering in Mac OS 27 (Golden Gate) much easier on the eyes.

Good for us who suffer from astigmatism
Macs are becoming harder to get, with delivery estimates running up to months. Yesterday, price increases were announced.
I have been tinkering in Xcode and plan to ship a stupid niche app soon. But I did not test it on Tahoe or Golden Gate yet. I wonder if that would pass app review.
I still have some Intel Macs lying around, but they wont run the new Mac OS Golden Gate beta. So maybe I should just get a Mac Mini while I can 😬.
Update 2026.06.25: It happened. Grabbed a Mini before they applied the update.
While researching security and how it’s done on github.io as an example, I ran into the Public Suffix List today. It’s actually fascinating to skim through the list itself.
It’s wild that such a low-tech approach is the solution to a security feature in browsers. Even more so when you realize that it takes some time to update the PSL in your browser. For example, chatgpt.site was added to the list on June 9th but is not yet in the list for Google Chrome (blob: 5eabc92d51226369bf800473de55787951809886) . And cookies are still set for the top-level domain in my version (148.0.7778.181):
Firefox also accepts these cookies, even though their version of the list is more recent and they should have an auto update mechanism in place.
Daniel Stenberg, creator of curl, describes the PSL as follows:
If you ask me, this is one of the ugliest parts of cookie functionality.

I am inclined to agree with that.
Pretty impressive one-shots generated by Anthropic’s new Fable model for Claude:

I have finally gotten around to adding an activity grid to this website. It shows the days of a year and a color for the amount of posts for that day.
Just like this:
Fascinating to watch Low Level “hack” into this Wi-Fi repeater from Temu. It looks like they removed it, but it’s still available from bol.com, 
amazon, ali express, etc
It’s so easy to put an insecure product on the market these days, but here even the basic precautions were not taken. Crazy.
This was quite a trip. I finally managed to get the new, custom USB drivers signed!
Signing up for the Microsoft Hardware Development program, getting certificates, signing the drivers, it was not easy.
Maybe I’ll update this post later with more information.Today, I’m just happy this worked and we can finally start rolling out to customers!
