For a few reasons, I’m tempted to subscribe to… The Verge. This would be the first such case of subscribing to a news site. I kind of like the site design and content; there is a community vibe if commenters are any indication. However, even as a subscriber, I may still receive ads served to me. 😑 Anyone subscribing to The Verge here? Thoughts?

What a beautiful day it is. I had an 11 KM hike today. We touched 30 °C, which is astonishing for October 5th. I mean, this is autumn, guys!

Using My M4 iPad Pro (iPadOS 26.1b1) With An External Display - Observation #5

One of the most frustrating and hard-to-understand behaviours in the new iPadOS 26 multitasking is when iPadOS, for some reason, breaks all the running apps and window arrangements. I often find myself in need of relaunching the apps and doing window placement to my liking. Again, iPadOS 26 is exhausting to use. I think this happens if I disconnect the external display. Restoring computing state is a basic principle in UI and UX design. Am I demanding too much?

Yesterday night I got one of my macOS feedback answered by Apple. It was about the Mac Appe Store app Reload menu item not being enabled which prevented me to reload and refresh apps with pending updates. It was fixed in macOS 26.1 beta 1. I can’t remember when was the last time one of my feedback reports being processed.
