Nice. Can't wait for all my binaries to suddenly stop building.
That’s what the beta released at wwdc is for! To test software before the release, to get build breaks before the general public and fix them then.

#422Semi-related but I'm ignorant: when did Apple change to use a universal version number? Is it just for the public, like how Windows 11 is actually NT 10.0? I can't believe I missed the HN discussion on this one.

#423Reminder 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.

I'm staying on Sequoia for at least one more year.
iOS 27 is pretty good though.

#424I'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…
You'd be surprised how well a T9 keyboard works on iPhone. You should give Type Nine a shot! https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/type-nine-t9-keyboard/id926008...

#425Why the fuck is this trending? Beta was out months ago
It’s the same every fing year. People (developers) don’t test the beta, but just complains when the .0 is released in the fall with ”how could anyone have anticipated this?”

#426I miss the old John Siracusa reviews on Ars. Was always a vibe to read thru those while taking snapshots and pulling the latest update image.

#427siri is kinda useless nowadays imo
Siri has always been, is, and will always be, useless. That’s consistency for you!

#428Earlier quoted context omitted.
I got so annoyed at this recently I turned off spotlight entirely and replaced it with 3rd party software. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Check out Raycast / Alfred.
Yeah, Alfred is one of the first things I install on a new MacOS install. Also enjoying Rectangles WM.
Alfred is wonderful for launching applications and custom actions, but it’s actually worse than Spotlight search for searching for files and folders. It finds a lot of results but inexplicably it likes to rank partial matches ahead of exact matches.

I've been using the Safari MCP in a "grocery agent" tool I built. It takes the weekly menu my wife puts together, turns it into a shopping list, and then uses Safari to add things to the shopping cart on Walmart's website. It's pretty solid, I like it more than the Chrome dev protocol I had been using before Safari.
How are you getting around bot detection shutting you out? I tried exactly this but for stop and shop.
I've actually never had it trip any bot detection, captchas, or anything like that, and haven't built anything into it for evading detection. If I had to guess, it's because I make sure to manually sign in to my Walmart account before it begins adding things to the cart.

How is the keyboard broken? Maybe I'm so used to whatever it is that I'm blind to it.
"O can" instead of "I can" on the iPhone is the one which has been driving me bonkers for at least a couple of years now.
