I just created an Alfred Workflow I should have made years ago: It takes a URL on the clipboard and uses curl to find all the redirected URLs. Really handy for package tracking URLs, where the final redirect often doesn’t contain the tracking ID and can’t be bookmarked.

Take the number of devices in the field (A), multiply it by the probable rate of account suspension (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement (C).
A × B × C = X. If X is less than the cost of changing, we don’t do it.
A × B × C = X. If X is less than the cost of changing, we don’t do it.

It’s pretty easy to get Apple Passwords to lose data.
Create a new item with a password of “a”. Sync to two devices. Turn off internet on both devices. Set password to “b” on one device, and “c” on the other. Turn on internet. The conflict gets resolved silently. “b” might win, or “c” might win.

Photoshop 27 adds a “quiet mode” setting. I really hope it puts and end to the non-stop ads and tips. I can’t see a “quiet mode” setting in Illustrator 30.

I think iOS 26.1 changed the dock, so icons are no longer aligned with the grid above. I am not into this.

I’ve been working on the iStat Menus, Pinwheel, and Skala Icon Composer app icons. Pinwheel’s icon was updated a couple of weeks ago, and iStat Menus will be soon. It’s great that the mono versions can be entirely different, if you’d like.

Surprisingly, my two biggest gripes with macOS 26 are the lock screen clock animating to the current time, and the new terrible window tabs. The clock seems to animate only when the laptop lid is opened, rather than every time macOS wakes. It’s incredibly distracting.

The new iOS 26 and macOS app icon shape looks like it is based on the iOS 7 app icon shape with a larger radius, rather than a superellipse. Here’s an image diff with my best attempt matching a superellipse. It’s not quite the same.
