I’ve Changed My Mind About Apple’s New Password App - Podfeet Podcasts With the advent of macOS Sequoia and iOS 18, Apple upgraded its method of saving user passwords from the arcane Keychain Access to a fledgling full-fledged password manager. Because Apple likes to nam...

Allison Sheridan @podfeet.bsky.social of Podfeet Podcast mentions that people often don't realize the importance of having a unique password for their secure password storage.

You know the password that unlocks your Passwords app?

Don't use it anywhere else.

With Apple’s OSes 26, You can export Notes to Markdown. In a worked example, we'll create formatted text in iPadOS 26, export to Markdown, and see how the files and any images look in plain text editors as Markdown. It’s really cool!

One of Adam Engst’s best attributes is that he’s just like me when digging for an answer that should be knowable. We chat about whether we could give up the big zoom lens for an iPhone 17 & we tried to quantify how much we used different lenses.

iOS 26 - Maybe a Little Too Early to Update? - Podfeet Podcasts This week, a woman on a user group message board I contribute to asked whether it was ok to update to iOS 26, or whether they should just apply the iOS 18.7 update and wait for a little longer for 26....

Are your friends, family, and co-workers asking you if it's safe to upgrade to iOS 26? My advice is that maybe waiting a smidge wouldn't be the worst idea. I'm running into quite a few bugs, along with Apple changing my notification defaults.

My Internet poll shows boys are choosing orange nearly two and a half times more than girls.

68% of boys
29% of girls
54% overall

Girls choose blue 43% to boys at 16%

My favorite quote in response to my poll (from @bart@social.bartificer.ie) was, “It’s boy catnip!”
