dawnerd··on MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch
I love how their marketing is increasingly trying to convince M1 mac owners why they should upgrade. The m1 is still way overpowered for what most people need, including developers. I'm keeping my m1 and m1 max until they stop supporting it.
dawnerd··on New iMac with M6
You might want to do a full restore or something, my M1 Max isn't sluggish at all.
dawnerd··on Somebody please stop the spam texts
I get four per line per day and have two lines on my phone. They all follow the same script with slight variations and the voicemails are all ai that often get confused and repeat things.

iOS has that for calls but they still leave a notification you have to manually clear. I wish for an option to just not tell me at all.
dawnerd··on CSS-Tricks has a new owner
Vibe coders / Slopgineers that don't know the foundations of how these systems work are going to fall behind people who actually know how to program. Just because the machine can spit out text quickly doesn't mean it's good. And no, what all of these LLMs output isn't good css.
dawnerd··on Oldest GUI application that still runs on Windows 11
The flat design trend really confused me. It really took off when high resolution screens started getting popular too, really made no sense. Wish we'd bring back Skeuomorphic design. Bring back that wood grain and metal textures. Bring back the fun UI's and app themes. Bring back real buttons!
dawnerd··on New iPad mini
It’s weird too I use a 60hz monitor all day and it doesn’t bother me. But if my iPhone switches to 60 it’s really noticeable.
dawnerd··on OLED iPad Mini
I was hoping the next mini would. Guess I’ll keep my 6th gen around.

I use it quite often for scanning QR codes.
dawnerd··on Oregon Police Are Charging a Local News Outlet $2.5M for Records About One Cop
People are starting to figure that out with the ALPR / Data Center pushback. There’s a lot of cities that have gone by without much public oversight. I know here the people that started showing up have picked up on things that would have gone under the radar. Local politics matter!
dawnerd··on OBS Studio 33
And yet it's still a quality product pushing meaningful updates proving that you don't need LLMs to do everything for you.

The Shigure mode cracked me up
dawnerd··on Investor-owned utilities charge 23% more for electricity than public providers
Yeah u was lazy when typing this morning and should have been more complete.
dawnerd··on Apple Music 404 Not Found
They probably did use AI to assist but there’s a lot of detail and nuance with it that AI is just awful at.
dawnerd··on Disney Raising Prices Days After Confirming Ads Will Now Show Up on Every Tier
Just a reminder to folks, check your libraries, they likely have a ton of movies you can check out for free.

You really don’t get to choose where your power comes from though and pge owns the lines. Paying another org is just throwing money away.
dawnerd··on Xbox wants you to pay 24 to 40 cents per hour to stream games you bought
Or if you do own the hardware it'll be a simple thin client.
dawnerd··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
Not very interesting, just being vague to not give it any context that it might be doing security research. Treating it like a game also works fairly well. It's hard to get more detailed about how since I use it for work and don't want it patched out, ya know?

Splitting it up between turns, like Luna seems more willing than Sol. If you get blocked better to take what context you have and start a new chat and try to remove anything that could trigger.

Also helps if you're not hitting real domains, soon as you leave localhost the blocks happen a lot more often I've noticed.

And oddly, sometimes daybreak gives more blocks than not using it.

Codex is really bad about shutting you down but it's also pretty trivial to trick it to do whatever, like kinda laughably so.
dawnerd··on What’s getting pwned right now
And also just useless or confusing information like the box labeled closed that has “Ongoing” inside.
dawnerd··on Upcoming critical PHP security release (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
Was apparently enough of a lead for codex to run with (daybreak). Haven’t woken up enough yet to compare it to anything released yet.
dawnerd··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
Used this as a base: https://jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up-2026.html

But created my own based on it since it feels sketchy running someone else's exploit poc ya know. Ran it first in a vm before running it against a production site.

dawnerd··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
I tried it on a personal site, was able to dump the entire database. Immediately shut all my sites down. This is bad.
dawnerd··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
They last part is impossible to enforce really without forcing audits on everything.
dawnerd··on Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly Report GLP-1 Signals of Slowed Biological Aging at ARDD
Same, I've been on the Wegovy pill since January and it's been actually life changing.
dawnerd··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
This attitude is why websites and electron apps have gotten so bad.
dawnerd··on Drupal is now light-years ahead of its reputation
Moved on from a cms? No, they’re more used than ever before.
dawnerd··on Android apps running native on macOS
Unfortunately. But there really isn't anything out there as reliable as it.

It's also pretty easy just to spin up bluestacks if you really need android apps on a mac.
dawnerd··on Websites are closing their doors to AI agents
Would love if they did but most end up just reselling cloudflare. Example WPEngine.
