I’m in a camp where Tahoe is just ugly, but worked fine on my mac and with my usage and devices. On the other hand, iOS 26 is so incredibly bad. Anything from anti-user choices, UI glitches, to keyboard… it’s tiring. It might be the one where I’m pushed to a different OS for the first time. I doubt Apple can fix itself in the near future, with the leadership they have.
Good read. If I imagine all these layers of Agent to Agent economic automations, I’m hopeful for a new class of technopriest hackers that are able to exploit nuances and weak security. And build new hidden empires within those systems.
I’d like to hear someone from MS if this has any impact, or if the report is overblowing it? Closing a library and pushing something called “Skilling” Hub sounds cartoonishly stupid and disrespectful.
It’s very close on their quality IMHO. Miles better on the value. I bought a Lumibricks set this year, after decades of buying Lego.
The set design (Cafe) was nice and it makes a good display piece. I liked their build techniques and integrated lights. The individual bricks were clean and with good color uniformity. But after a life of building Lego sets, I was able to quickly tell that tactile forces for connecting pieces were different to Lego. I will buy more of their sets, but I will keep buying Lego too.

This was exactly the reason I’ve abandoned them. As mentioned in other comments, they look like a good way to create a design/component system in them, because of the interop with any frontend JS framework (who doesn’t want that?!). So you deal with clunky CSS sharing and theming capabilities and there might be some solutions on the horizon. But now you want to build a static website with it (landing page, docs, blog…) and you can’t pre-render them, because there is no declarative Shadow DOM element https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals... (rejected https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/510). Yeah, you can pre-render them without the Shadow DOM. Then if you want to make those chunks of HTML into WCT on load (sort of rehydration), it will trigger repaints, as you have to remove the chunk of HTML, put it into WCT and parse everything again. Or you don’t put it into Shadow Root, to prevent repaint - but at that point, if your components can work this way, why even use WCT?
McD’s lawyers screwed up, not submitting required evidence of actual use in years 2011-2016. They printed out webpages with promo materials and a wikipedia page (as article correctly points, “duh, we are McDonalds”) - not a great proof of anything for any court. Then submitted some packaging of the product.
Not any evidence that the product was actually sold and trademark used in those five years - no sales figures, website traffic stats… As said, makes sense to me
Edit: that said, still makes no sense why were they challenging the use of Big Mac in the first place… shrugs
Tried Pi, and it can’t keep up with the video stream. You can always use an HTPC, with a GPU like GTX 1050 and use Steam’s in-home streaming. Works really well.
I’m using Steam Link that’s built into my smart TV. Way superior as it supports 4K and 50mbps stream. The original physical Link is catching dust on the shelf. It’s quite okay setup with a headless gaming PC. You have to use a remote desktop from time to time to click on some system dialog, so it’s not a 100% console-like experience.
