That press conference was insane. At one point they admitted the new systems they are pushing appeared to have overloaded the old systems but then pivoted when someone finally asked a follow up. They either still have no idea or more likely do but makes them look bad. Terrifying.

Can create a new family apple account like use to do on AppleTV before you offered a family one not tied to Apple accounts, but think that wouldn't work since profiles require phone and a single voice/face?

Can create a new Apple account, but think wouldn't work since would need a phone logged into it nearby. And assume voice/face can only be setup for one person.

Needs a family account mode, where we can set specific calendars, specific music account and photos shared library, that we can all access with touch/voices. Since for personal specific stuff that would be on ones own devices.

upcoming its. Clicking on the widget says don't have access but already exposing the personal calendar. So other than people who would be fine letting any member including little kids go through their personal phone, hard to imagine how this is going to work.

calendars such as a family one, and certain music accounts but don't allow messages etc. So disabled completely but then can't essentially do anything other than seems see the time or set a timer. Also even with personal content off, widgets such as @flexibits Fantastical show

It asked to enable personal context but says that includes things like messages and certainly wouldn't want those showing up on family machine. Since people already noting cases where people can access others mistakenly. Oddly it's all or nothing. Can't say allow certain

On this page support.discord.com/hc/en-us… the link for "Desktop/Browser" on there is broken.

There is an existing hide option, but assume that would permanently hide and the next day and on I'd want those birthday and other person's things to show again for looking back etc.

Also for one's that involve another family member such as "John Getting Haircut at 3pm" I want to be reminded of it once, but then I don't want it taking up my up section so a hide for a day would solve that.

This was one of the reasons did keep Bartender's new Dynamic menu bar app, since seemed almost certain it would be native very soon with more core features. macrumors.com/2026/10/28/app…

But seems a full redesign will have to wait for a future generation. OLED will be sublime. Though on marketing, not seeing a new reason on why touch suddenly makes sense. Unless conditioning for a future product/os where it will?

The new MacBook Pro is literally everything rumored a year ago other than 16tb offering. Hoping the m7 bump will come in March rather than having to wait until October but time will tell. Wish the front facing camera got a boost or MagSafe USB-C, or Touch ID under trackpad.

Over 45 minutes finally got a person. She was very helpful and lovely and got it resolved thankfully, but what a nightmare to reach, and there was reverb on the call so kept hearing myself. Hopefully NCL can work on adding email support for these type of account changes.

Tried contacting @CruiseNorwegian NCL chat, terrible experience. Couldn't help, said have to call since no email support. 30 minutes and counting on hold with the same 30 second add on repeat for 1000s of time. Why they don't offer email support is beyond me. Terrible experience.

I’d of course make sure they first have the part in stock before replacing.

Has anyone had a battery replaced replaced on a recent MacBook Pro under warranty? At 79% battery so eligible for replacement but can’t be without for more than a weekend. Anyone know if replacements are done in store vs sent out? And if same day, twos or how long typically?

Not a fan of the finish signing in part of the new universal signin @1Password

While Siri AI of course is much better than the previous disaster, in ways that matter feel worse like for ToDos since always says did you mean… Switched to @todoist Ramble and rock solid so far. Even gets the coveted action button status instead of ChatGPT. Need more buttons :)
