That's sleazy. It's slipping drugs into a kids lunchbox and letting smuggle it across the border..

I recently demonstrated ripgrep-all with fzf to search through thousands of PDFs in seconds on the command line and watched my colleague’s mind implode.

For myself, the two features (which are not iOS 26 related) are being able to see them in FindMy, and having access to case sound and battery notification volume options.

I can't say that the feedback causes damaging levels of noise, and its possible that my hearing is still protected, but the feedback that is produced is so uncomfortable that I involuntarily pulled them out of my ears.. which is not a great reaction with power tools in hand.

Apple does market 'Hearing Protection' as a feature of the AirPods Pro. https://support.apple.com/en-us/120850

I'm not, and should probably get a more specific product as recommended by abakker.

I can say I've used ANC in-ear and over-ear of various implementations for years without experiencing discomfort typically associated with ANC 'pressure'.

Thanks for the recommendation, you're probably correct that I should be using a product specifically designed for the environment. I'll check them out.

Huh, that's a good counter point. Perhaps something has changed between APP2 and APP3 that make them more susceptible to EMF, or maybe I have a bad pair. I'll attempt a replacement and see where we land.

I frequently use my AirPods Pro when working in my shop. Previously the APP2 did a great job of reducing loud tool noise and I could mostly still listen to music or podcasts at reasonable levels.

With the APP3, they are largely the same except with the louder tools (circular saw, cordless grinder) they produce a horrific feedback instead of canceling the noise. So much so that I switched back to my APP2 (which do not have this issue in back-to-back testing).

This REALLY irks me, as the APP3 are what forced the upgrade to iOS 26 (which is terribly misguided and under-baked), so I'm stuck with all of Apple's foibles and none of their wins.

Feel like I got punched in the gut and my lunch money stolen. Not a good feeling Apple.

Unfortunately not much has changed in 20 years

Food deserts appear to roughly correlate inversely with population density[0]. I don't interpret the existence of food deserts as evidence that food choice is not 'generally' available. Assuming we are serving people and not geographies.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine, and not even specifically in Firefox or even browsers. It's in applications and OS's as well. I don't know if it's actually increased recently, or I've become more sensitized, but it harkens back to the web 1.0 pop-up misery of yore..

Yup. Messing with my back button is an immediate fuck off.

The recent releases with new functions are great, there's a lot that can be done in a format that both pervasive and familiar. And Power Query is indeed a useful addition.

Is Python is still a metered cloud runtime?

As someone who routinely switches between multi-gigabyte PDF files, I appreciate that they all stay loaded in memory. Ain't nobody got time to re-render and re-index those files every time I switch documents..

Hardest working app on macOS

To be generous, this solution 'outperforms' commercial weather APIs for exactly one hyperlocal geographic location, and underperforms on 99.999999% of the remaining locations that may also be experiencing weather of some sort.

If you live in a moderately dense area or know a neighbor who also has a weather station, you might try the command line utility rtl_433[0] mentioned in the article with an SDR dongle to pick up existing broadcasts in your area. I pick up three different stations consistently!

They still work as generic Bluetooth earphones, including ANC and transparency, but they don’t show up in FindMy and you can’t control case charging sounds or notification volume.

I upgraded iOS after I discovered that the AirPods Pro 3 lose native integration with iOS 18 and macOS 15. Hated it so much, I sent the AirPods Pro 3 back for discounted AirPods Pro 2 and am considering trading my upgraded iPhone in for the latest model I can get on iOS 18.

I'm going to ride iOS 18 and macOS 15 into the sunset and then leave the Apple ecosystem.

I just checked;

I currently have 23, my parent's house has 19

People have all kinds of stuff on wifi these days - cameras, light bulbs, dishwashers, irrigation, solar, hifi..

I recently acquired a new (to me) 2017 vehicle and took it to my independent mechanic who has been working on my cars for years. He is registered with the mfg. and has access to many of their proprietary diagnostics and tools, but warned me that there is very little he can do on the latest models. They are basically 'return to dealer' because of 'software'.

It's sooooo bad. I hate it.

It's like the whole interface is covered in corn syrup. The inertia of the swiped elements feels like they don't want to respond to touch input.

Half the time I have to tap twice because I'm not sure if the screen is lagging or if I missed the button.

It's visually incomprehensible. Elements randomly switch between light and dark, depending on local color layering, but it affects the global element rendering.

It stutters. It freezes. I've ceded all the hardware gains of the previous decade to arrogance of someone else's misplaced aspirations and poor taste.

It's like corn syrup was drizzled all over a perfectly snappy and mature interface which now requires the user to wade through a superficial layer of viscous muck to accomplish what used to be a straight forward task.
