Tim Cook pathetically kisses Trump's ass by pretending him with a "24 karat gold" gift

I had assumed that by not providing an OS or version number for deprecation, I had found a way to silence the compiler warning. Since that's not the case and it's just moving the warning, I'm deleting the original post. Sorry for the confusion. 2/2

Meaning that the deprecation warnings inside the respective methods disappear. But I now see this just moves the deprecation warning up to the calling sites of the methods. I didn't notice this when I posted this. 1/2

After checking the privacy info available in Xcode and settings in the ChatGPT account, it at least seems like it should also be possible to use an account and still not have your code used for training their models: bsky.app/profile/feli...

Intelligence in Xcode & Privacy Using ChatGPT in Xcode Without an Account If you enable ChatGPT in Xcode without being signed in to a ChatGPT account, only the data described in the Data Provided to Third-Party Models and Data Provided to ChatGPT in Xcode sections above will be sent to ChatGPT. OpenAl will not receive any data tied to your Apple Account. OpenAl must process your data solely for the purpose of fulfilling it and not store your request or any responses it provides, unless required under applicable laws. OpenAl also must not use your request to improve or train its models. Using ChatGPT in Xcode with a ChatGPT Account You can choose to create a ChatGPT account or sign in to an existing account. If you are a ChatGPT subscriber, you will be able to access paid features from your Xcode experience. When you are signed in, your ChatGPT account settings and OpenAl's data privacy policies will apply. This means OpenAl may log your request, attachments, and session history, and use this data to train or improve their models. To learn more about OpenAl's privacy practices, visit https://openai.com/policies/row-privacy-policy.

Presumably though, "your ChatGPT account settings […] will apply" when signing in from Xcode - so that, if you turned off the option "Improve the model for everyone" in your ChatGPT account, it also /should/ not use your data for training its models.

Xcode message: "Using ChatGPT without an Account If you don't sign in to ChatGPT, your requests are anonymous and won't be used to improve OpenAl's models."

Why would I want to ever sign in to ChatGPT then, Xcode?

This document tells you which of your Mac's ports is the DFU port: support.apple.com/en-us/120694

Avoid that port when installing macOS on a external drive.
3/3

Why? I had plugged the SSD into the wrong USB-C port: on Apple Silicon Macs, you're supposed to NOT use the DFU port for this (support.apple.com/en-us/111336) - and of course I had. 🤦‍♂️

Just spent hours trying to install macOS 26b2 on an external SSD. After rebooting, it just wouldn't complete but boot back into macOS on the internal SSD eventually.

"User" : { "comment" : "Text displayed as secondary detail text when showing a user in the list of users.", "isCommentAutoGenerated" : true },

First impression of Xcode 26 auto-generating a comment for a new localizable string based on the surrounding source code: really good - it nailed it! 👌

The ChatGPT/AI stuff worked nicely, but as soon as I tried to run something in the Simulator, the Mac started to swap massively and everything came to a crawl - with really just Xcode + Simulator running.

Looks like 16GB of RAM really is the absolute minimum for development going forward. 2/2

I had hoped that the Mac mini M1 with 8GB RAM would be sufficient to explore Xcode 26 and *OS 26 development. But no. 1/2

Screenshot from Xcode: Title: "Localized Strings" Toggle: "Automatically generate string catalog comments" Description: "Generate string catalog comments for newly-added strings by analyzing surrounding source code. Requires Xcode's predictive code completion model."

Xcode 26 adds an option to generate string catalog comments for newly-added strings by analyzing surrounding source code. Will be interesting to see in action. #WWDC25

I kinda get why the first three don't work. But I really don't understand how installing on an external drive should hinder AI usage. 2/2 #WWDC25

Looks like you can only use Xcode's AI features when installing Tahoe on the internal SSD of your Apple silicon Mac.

I tried all other options:
-it's not supported on Sequoia
-it's not supported on Intel Macs
-it's not supported in VMs
-it's not supported when the system is on an external drive

New macOS alert: "App" is running in the background after it was closed Apps in the background retain their access to sensors or personal data, even though they don't appear to be open. If you need this app to perform tasks such as updating or syncing data when it's not open, you can allow it run in the background. Do Not Allow Always Allow

New in macOS Tahoe: the OS alerts the user if an app continues to run after the user closed it. #WWDC25

Screenshot from the PaperKit video showing how to setup and show the MarkupEditViewController.

Two surprises from the new PaperKit framework session:
- it's UIKit-/AppKit-first
- the class names have no prefixes

LOL, the Touch Bar also got an update 😜

I hope Apple ships this as part of macOS eventually. It would be super useful for some app ideas I have…

Containerization looks very impressive - essentially allowing to pull and run Docker images and containers with Apple-provided tools and frameworks. It even appears to allow running x86 images on Apple silicon.

The bad: if you were hoping that iPadOS now supports permanently running background tasks, you'll be disappointed. It's now easier to continue user-initiated, longer running tasks in the background - but they need to come to an end eventually - or will be killed.

Good and bad news after watching "Finish tasks in the background":

The good: unlike what I initially believed after watching the keynote, the new background capabilities also come to iOS. 🎉

Especially the permanently visible disclosure triangles in the sidebar make me wonder, however, whether this is an actual UI recording - or a concept video. And if it's the latter, if that's what's shown here is what Liquid Glass should _eventually_ look like. 2/2 #WWDC25

Finder window as shown in "Meet Liquid Glass" session.

The Finder window in "Meet Liquid Glass" (9:59) looks different than what I see on my Mac in the Dev Preview:
- better contrast between elements and content
- higher line height
- permanently visible disclosure triangles in the sidebar

1/2 #WWDC25

I really hope so.

Turn on the Status Bar and Path Bar at the bottom and it looks _really_ off, highlighting the challenges text-rich and information-dense UIs will run into when adopting the "extend content below the sidebar" concept of Liquid Glass. 2/2
#WWDC25

I really hope Apple will improve the contrast of the new UI on macOS before release.
Looking at Finder, f.ex., as it is right now, everything looks like it's bleeding together - with barely identifiable boundaries between sidebar and content. 1/2
