  Embarrassing.. Microsoft, don't you make these pages with AI? How'd you miss this?

  iPadOS feels like drunk macOS. Cmd H is effectively minimize….but so is Cmd W? Sometimes? Minimize might also have the same functionality. Who knows? Apps don’t “close” on this OS, they are put in stasis…unless they don’t.

  Apple really needs a master switch to turn off Apple Intelligence + delete the models. 256GB Mac Minis are suffering.

  Of the most unhinged useless features Apple could work on, the "AI will reset your passwords" thing they are putting into iCloud Keychain has to be at the top of the list. I wouldn't ever recommend to ANYONE to run that, and from what I'm hearing, it doesn't even work all that well to begin with (shocker). So glad I use KeePass instead...

  If I were Microsoft, I'd be sweating it right now. In July they were all happy and giddy about fixing 500+ vulnerabilities with AI, but I bet most of them weren't even real and now they have a big list of unknown problems (maybe sleeper cell malware) in the OS code. https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/08/03/ai-slop-pollutes-the-cve-pipeline-with-fake-vulns/5282462

  I don't know who needs to hear this, but for those who do it - The "subject" field is NOT the body! Stop putting 3 paragraph essays into email subjects!

  macOS patches way too slow. The check takes forever, the download takes forever, and the reboot is unnecessarily complicated and long to stand back up. Linux and even Windows go so much faster in comparison.

  I love when a vulnerability scan (cough TENABLE cough) is just outright belligerently false on a scan. Not only is the vulnerability 5+ years old, the fix is known and documented, but Nessus be like "there is no fix for this" um excuse me, solved problem half a decade ago. Fix your database...

  Being a sysadmin is like the Wacky Workbench levels in Sonic CD - the goal (getting things done) isn't far away, but literally everything is trying to bounce you a thousand miles away into dead-ends and go-back-to-start loops.

  Trying to reload my balance for a $highwaytolltransponderthinghere and the site seemingly keeps blocking my system from accessing it after logging in. First off, the page is incredibly slow to even log in and work (a great confidence booster for having to input PCI), and seemingly as a reward for waiting for the page to load, I get some idiotically configured IDS going "we blocked you for security reasons" - I think it's blanket blocking Linux OSes and security forks of Firefox lik...

  Does Apple even know how to host email? iCloud Mail - if you create inbox rules in iCloud for the web, the rules are only viewable and editable there - they don't even appear in Mail.app on macOS! Let alone Thunderbird or anywhere else. That is insane.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@ThreeBallSpare/116975563434282931 Figure I'd make a page for this in the Fediverse and try to make it more of a thing here! Go check it out if you're interested.

  Old greybeard Napster-era complaint - when making mp3/ogg/flac/whatever files, don't name them with weird characters that don't work well in every OS. Keep it simple.

  Why does it take literally 30+ minutes to update powershell modules (especially microsoft.graph)? Doing it manually is instantaneous, what is update-module choking on?

  I'm a few months late to this but I saw a little article that Donald Fagen has quietly retired. That's fine, but I'm just bittersweet about it, right as I catch up on all his solo work along with the rest of Steely Dan's stuff, he's winding down. At least he seems to be making a few silly appearances on Amy Helm's Instagram now though, which is amusing.

  One of the circles of hell is identifying what version/flavor of .NET Core you have installed on your system. Everywhere you look, different number.
