Shadowmist··on MacBook Air with M5
Even after saying no to OneDrive and doing all I can to remove it, it tends to randomly come back months later and will automatically start uploading my desktop and documents folder to the cloud.

Edit: I even specifically bought the Pro version hoping to be able to shut some of this off.

Shadowmist··on AI Made Writing Code Easier. It Made Being an Engineer Harder
I get benefits with AI both on the writing the code part and the understanding the problem part. If AI disappeared tomorrow I’d probably still enter “plan mode” in my head. I like having the discussion with the AI about requirements and edge cases and all that, while it updates the plan and documents architectural decisions in CLAUDE.md. I love that I can add extra polish, such as color to terminal output, or other random features that would have not made the cut before. Instead toiling on a random one off script to fix a problem I can have a whole CLI build that is a joy to use. Explaining complex architecture is easy now because instead of a boring EDD I can slop out animations that demonstrate data moving and transforming through a system.

Shadowmist··on Report: Tim Cook could step down as Apple CEO 'as soon as next year'
With Liquid glAss CarPlay on non touchscreen cars they changed the button colors so that gray is the selected item and blue/green are not selected. Also they changed the back on-screen button to be the default, or sometimes they select the item you want but then a second later change focus to the back button.

When you first use CarPlay there are consent screens so there are definitely people out there who have picked the wrong one.

What in the Teenage Engineering is this?
Shadowmist··on Samsung Family Hub for 2025 Update Elevates the Smart Home Ecosystem

Shadowmist··on State of Terminal Emulators in 2025: The Errant Champions
I wish they didn’t lock the GitHub issue so that we could see how many thousands more reactions it would get.

Just pretend it is the thing that hold the front wheel.

Shadowmist··on Show HN: I built a simple ambient sound app with no ads or subscriptions

Shadowmist··on Vibing a non-trivial Ghostty feature
Ghostty is awesome and I almost dropped iTerm for it until I hit cmd-f and nothing happened.

Shadowmist··on Not all OCuLink eGPU docks are created equal
I bought three of them for a Kubernetes cluster and it seems to work great for a few days and then constant black screens every few hours to few days. The most frustrating part is thinking I fixed it with a bios change or different software, but it keeps coming back. Never again.
Shadowmist··on INapGPU: Text-mode graphics card, using only TTL gates
Nice to see support for Standard Galactic Alphabet.
Shadowmist··on What Is the Fourier Transform?
I always assume that all the ratings are fake when there is a low count of ratings since it is easy for the seller to place a bunch of game orders when they are starting out.
Shadowmist··on Yamanot.es: A music box of train station melodies from the JR Yamanote Line
Works fine for me on iPadOS 26. Click on the station names?

Shadowmist··on The Framework Desktop is a beast
I bought 3 Minisforum machines for a Kubernetes cluster and they didn't make it 11 months. They weren't even powered on most of that time. They just completely freeze with a black screen, and randomly enough to where every time I think maybe I figured out a fix it just crashes again a day later.
Shadowmist··on Happy BuyNothing Day
You'd probably enjoy "Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking", which has beautiful photography and possibly goes deeper into cooking than any other book. The main author was CTO at Microsoft back in the day, and another author founded a company that makes a thermometer with some pretty neat tech.
