FYI I’ll be deleting my account here shortly; I’ve not experienced any joy when I’ve checked back in recent weeks. The atmosphere seems to be the same exhausting shouty outrage machine as on other corporate social networks.
The Fediverse seems to be more my kind of place; or stay in touch privately.

I don't understand why some people have pets. One of the neighbours' rabbits has escaped into our backyard. Neighbour came over but left again as it was under a hedge. Didn't seem too fussed about whether they got it back or whether it would run out onto the street.

Good tennis session this morning. I seem to have gained a lot of power and accuracy in my forehand lately. I can never quite tell how hard my coach is trying, but once I get into a rally I can usually turn defense into offense and win the point with an unreachable passing cross forehand.

QEMU 9.2 has shipped! I only managed to get a handful of small improvements added to this one - x2APIC support for hvf having the biggest user impact. (decent speedup of x86 VMs on x86 macOS hosts)
Now let's hope I do a little better with getting my *checks notes* 33 pending patches into 10.0. 😰

Also, seriously, “the theater named after him reminds me of Steve, but other things too.” Really?! That's the best you could come up with? Who will pass the Turing Test first, Apple Intelligence or Tim Cook?

Damn it. I now know much more about XHCI USB host controllers than I ever really wanted. Unsatisfyingly, macOS VM guests playing badly with QEMU's XHCI controller when MSI(-X) is unsupported seems to be not-exactly-a-bug but rather an underspecified grey area.

Apple's release schedules are so confusing from the outside. Maybe it somehow makes sense to people working there that they can't release *bug fixes* until the next major macOS release (16.0) while they keep shipping new *features* with every point release (15.x).
