Today, I placed my order to have my face processed through Iconfactory’s pixelated portrait service. I’m eager to see what they come up with. Maybe I’ll update my avatar that I’ve been using for so many years?

Because of iPadOS 26, I can see a future where I could get rid of my Macs and focus on the iPad as the main computer beside my iPhone. Of course, I would probably switch to a larger size if that was the case. Using an iPad with an external monitor now makes much more sense and no longer a gimmicky thing.

It seems I overlooked that Inoreader can’t send email summaries of RSS feeds on the Pro plan; an Enterprise plan is necessary. That’s disappointing. I’ll search for alternatives to replace Mailbrew, then. 🤔

Well, I’m going to drop Mailbrew because of the lack of updates to the service in recent years. I’ll try to replace that with Inoreader, a service I already depend on. Otherwise, I might give a look at Digest.

I'm Already Feeling The Upcoming Loss

The last time I used a Windows PC was with Windows 10 sometimes around 2020. Since then, Windows 11 came out with a few major releases along with it. I’ll have to relearn so many small things to flex my muscles memory. Also, and it’s probably the biggest lost: so many small utilities like Raycast, CleanShot X, Paste, PopClip and so many more that were making me much more productive are gone with Windows 11. Am I going to survive?

Invoking the notifications center with iPadOS 26 while using an external display will blank out the external display and bring the notifications on the iPad screen only. I’m not sure this is the final behaviour. I don’t like it at all.
