System 7 natively boots on the Mac Mini G4

Only a few weeks ago, the CHRP variants of Mac OS 7.6 and 8 were discovered and uploaded to the internet for posterity, but we're already seeing the positive results of this event unfold: Mac OS 7.x can now run on the Mac Mini G4 - natively.

The very short of it is as follows. First, the CHRP release of Mac OS 8 contains a ROM file that allows Mac O

I've always used `Process` for calling Terminal commands in my macOS apps. Now the Swift language team have given us `Subprocess'.

In this article. I explore how to use `Subprocess` and how it compares to `Process`.

developers: is there a way to get a *raw*, unprocessed video stream for just getting the pixels out of a camera? No Center Stage, no Reactions, no background replacement, and no interaction from the user to allow enabling any of that. Like if I wanted to set up a telescope for astrophotography, weather monitoring, security surveillance, or literally any use case which isn't "pointing the camera at my face for a video call". Is AVFoundation too high-level for this?

As expected, on some well known news sites my latest blog post also drew some interesting comments, offering a few things to think about. On average, the readers who replied see "Linux" as the opposite of macOS or Windows, basically an anti something. Not because of its strengths, but because of the flaws they associate with its "competitors". They also focus entirely on the desktop world, which I can understand.

Many of them also confuse popularity with quality. The fact that other operating systems such as the BSDs or illumos are less widespread leads them to assume they are less "interesting". That is an ideological contradiction, because by the same logic Windows and macOS would be far superior to everything else simply because they dominate an enormous share of desktop systems.

Could you please help me boost this again if you are a developer? Would love to get a few more votes before the poll ends.

Thank you <3

#macOS devs, I need your attention for a minute. Let's say there would be an open-source project/service that makes it easy to: - Notarize your Mac apps - Create & handle updates via Sparkle by hosting them - Handle payments via Stripe and other payment providers - Manage/validate licenses How would you like to use this project/service? [ ] Wouldn’t use because I'd rather do it all myself [ ] Self-host open source version [ ] Pay for hosted version

At @Vivaldi we tend to take a stand when it comes to technologies that are in use in our industry.

We have been clear from the start that we believe crypto currencies have no place in this world. Nothing that has happened during these last few years has changed our minds. Rather the opposite. What is your take?

I wrote a thing: needs to be a required hard-skill for all working in tech.

TLDR: I believe, UX needs to be a required hard-skill for all working in tech. All of us building products have to learn to empathize with non-techie-people using our products. And just like with any kind of inclusivity issue: we must include the not-so-savvy people in the process of developing and testing products.

I gave my first ever conference talk at PyCon AU in Sept, based on my book: Escape from Tutorial Hell. It uses Swift and macOS in all its examples, but the principles apply to all languages.

I offered a 25% discount to all conference goers but not all the QR codes I distributed have been claimed, so I'm opening the offer to the next 19 people who use this link to buy: sarahreichelt.gumroad.com/l/iq

の アプリ、立ち上げると必ず下部のコントロール部分のシャッフル再生のアイコンにフォーカスがあたっているのだが

- フォーカス当っているアイコンそのものが見づらい
- スペースキー押すとシャッフルの ON/OFF が切り替わる（デフォルト状態でのスペースキー押下に期待される挙動ではない気がする
- 左サイドバーをクリックしてのこのフォーカスが消えない
- タブキーでフォーカス移動したり、コンテンツ部分のなにかをクリックすると消える

という感じで、なんか微妙な感じがある

For those who aren't yet aware of this application that's , easy to use, has a helpful guide if need be, i'll briefly describe

With Veracrypt you can create containers, hidden secondary containers within encrypted containers, drives and it also offers an alternative to if desired if running a OS that is NOT a scenario

veracrypt.io/en/Downloads.html

VeraCrypt - Free Open source disk encryption with strong security for the Paranoid

VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files.

Tried out the new MacOS 26 native containerization stuff. TL;DR there's no 'docker compose' so it will be a dead start for many, but for my simplistic testing needs it's dead simple, quick, has easy virtual networking, and works with any OCI image. More detailed notes here:

Apple container setup notes

I upgraded to MacOS 26 this week, and first thing I've wanted to try is the new native container support. I've been content with OrbStack but a lot of the time it's overkill when I just want to test something on the MacBook. Docker and Podman even more so. From

Great.

$dayjob MacBook forced to update to Tahoe. This "liquid glass" interface is a pile of wank.

I checked settings and both Apple Intelligence (sic) and Siri are disabled and yet there's 8 "Siri" apps running in the background:

com.apple.siri.embeddedspeech
SiriSuggestionsBookkeepingService
SAExtensionOrchestrator
siriinferenced
SiriAUSP
sirittsd
siriactionsd
siriknowledged

And 5 "Intelligence" apps:

IntelligencePlatformComputeService
intelligenceplatformd
knowledgeconstructiond
intelligencecontextd
intelligentroutingd

Why are these still running if I've supposedly disabled them in settings?

Since the Tahoe and 26 Apple allows automatic Passkeys to be created for your accounts. Nice in principle, I do not want my passkeys in Apples Passwords since I can't get them out of there. After Amazon and Dropbox created Passkeys without my explicit consent I found the option to disable this in the Passwords.app settings:

MacOS跑在Linux的QEMU/KVM虛擬機裡.
這是我第一次成功運行MacOS虛擬機,HostOS是Linux.
目前我跑MacOS虛擬機的目標主要用途為測試自己託管的個人靜態網站對不同瀏覽器和跨平台的支援度,用虛擬機測試會比實體系統更方便.

MacOS 14以上我都沒成功開機過,目前Virtualbox或VMware對這些新版macOS的支援度也都比較低.
順便一提,只在Mac/iPad平台的UTM虛擬機對新版MacOS兼容性更高,不過無法GPU虛擬化增加裡面的MacOS圖形效能. getutm.app
