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.

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

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! 👌

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

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

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

Maybe it's not so bad when seen on device, but from this screenshot iPadOS' new look really pains my eye:
-the radius of sidebar & window don't match
-the small traffic light icons just look really off next to the toolbar icon
-that icon also looks off next to the free-floating toolbar icons

It is also the *only* USB 3 Hub I tried that managed to provide enough power to more than one bus-powered SSD drive reliably - even when they're under full load for a prolonged period of time.
This allowed me to finally implement my Pi 5 SSD #ZFS NAS/HomeLab server as originally planned. 2/

The #RaspberryPi USB 3 Hub is - hands-down - the best USB 3 Hub I've had to date (and I've tried _many_ this year). For the last 3 weeks, it has worked absolutely flawlessly with everything I plugged into it. 1/

I was wondering why a civil airplane this size is flying so low above our area, looked it up on FlightRadar24 and it sure seems like a map service is taking aerial shots for 3D maps.
I'm sure happy we cleaned up the mess in the garden yesterday.

All I could find from Apple on this (developer.apple.com/help/app-sto...) says only "some apps" require an ICP filing number and also doesn't mention any dates.
Anyone knows more or has seen more definite info directly from Apple? (2/2)

For a few major versions now (IIRC since the Big Sur redesign), macOS no longer has a sidebar icon for servers identifying as "Xserve" - instead showing a placeholder "document" icon.
It's silly, but it saddens my inner geek every time I notice.
