Reminder to wait a couple of months before upgrading macOS! Every single time issues are found after a new macOS version, give it a little bit of time before jumping right away on your work machine :)

I'm still on Sequoia (which took me ages to jump to from Ventura). :) For anyone jumping versions: remember that Apple messed with the login keychain not being able to be backed up in the most recent Tahoe release [1], which means that issue will be around in Golden Gate.

Me too. I was just thinking recently about updating from Sequoia, now I've got to take a while and reconsider everything.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A common one I hit is "blu" showing bluetooth settings, but "blue" does not. Very frustrating to see the thing you are hoping for popup, but then go away as you type more if its name.

Just tried this on iOS 27 and both blu and blue showed me bluetooth settings. I saw someone in a different thread of this discussion mention resetting dictionaries helping with autocorrect, I wonder if there is something that would apply to this situation which helps.

Just do a fresh install every two weeks.

Aah those were the days.

These are too, but those were as well.

From the macOS 27 release notes in the System Settings app:

  System Improvements
  Discover lots of little ways your Mac is even enjoyable, like faster and smoother experiences across the systems.
Doesn't anybody proofread copy anymore?

I've been using it for several months since the developer beta came out; overall I'm extremely positive on it. One of their better releases that seemingly focused more on quality and refinements than new-features. Siri is definitely worth using now, even if it remains still a work-in-progress/needs continued refinement. It can surprise you in good ways, but it isn't consistently good yet. The keyboard remains unfixed…

one day we'll find out they have only one QA person on the team which develops keyboard among other things, and they have comically alien fingers.

Was just looking over the Safari 27 release notes¹, which is part of macOS 27, and noticed this: Web Driver New Features - Allow your agent to connect to a Safari browser for development and debugging via the Safari MCP server. (176038457) Related (From July 1st) Introducing the Safari MCP server for web developers https://webkit.org/blog/18136/introducing-the-safari-mcp-ser... So that's interesting. On the other han…

Given that Safari needs the most debugging and automation tooling for Safari was hardest to come by, this is a welcome change. I wonder if it works with pages on a connected iPhone though? Anyone tried it? Because debugging on iOS Safari is the most maddening. (No, responsive design mode doesn't cut it, iOS Safari has its own special bugs that don't manifest in desktop Safari merely emulating a phone viewport.)

Would you say that it's ready for prime-time on a developer machine?

What do you find lacking in iOS’s swipe keyboard implementation?

I can't comment knowledgeably. I just regularly have to try over and over again to get it to produce the word I want, and my memory is that this happened rarely on Android. Wait! I do have a specific criticism! There are certain two-word sequences it will not produce ("kill myself", "white women") and I could do without that little bit of editorial oversight thank you very much.

Can confirm that you can’t swipe type “white women” on iOS 27 lmao
