I've been using Macs since 1996 Not a single time have I ever witnessed a Finder bug like this through Mac OS 8, 9, X, all the way until now on Golden Gate where it happens every single time I view my Downloads folder The slop is coming from inside the house

Apple ships a secret multimodal node-graph editor with every copy of iOS!
Replying to @DallenFrutchey
Looks to be some internal node-graph editor used for prototyping image/video pipelines with AI. Has multiple backends (CoreImage/AVAssetRender, Gemini "Floodgate Proxy", FLUX, and formerly ComfyUI). The "Nodes" engine is what processes the pipeline, with NodeUI being the editor.

Also, there's a new idiom for "home" assets (9)
Here's some of the HomeView app icons in high quality

Apple has just shipped software for the HomeView. New platform, new launcher: HomeView doesn’t run SpringBoard, PineBoard, or SoundBoard, it runs a new launcher called BreadBoard. It also has a dedicated process for its Control Center UI called CupBoard.

Been meaning to say this for a while, but @TransLink which out-of-touch C-suite executive decided to remove the persistent “Stop” text on the buses, instead blanking the screen and flashing “Stop” every 5 seconds.

I just realized that you can't undo an action in the iOS files app. What an actual joke. "What’s a computer", surely not the iPad.

How on earth do you get app intent enums to render custom icons properly in shortcuts. System symbols look fine, but custom symbols seem to be treated differently. This causes major issues when in different appearances, as shown in the pic below. @mattcassinelli any ideas?

Native asset catalogs, by the way

I like developing for macOS, partially because of the existence of "legacy" conceptual documentation that just isn't present for other platforms. It's also cool to be able to compile code older than I am, and see it run unmodified on the latest OS (albeit not without issues)

Would you rather: Have to build spotlight importer, or a quick look preview? Despite the obvious choice, the former is more fun to build than one would likely expect

Yeah...
It's quite sad seeing all the high-quality first-party apple developer tools we've lost. Older programs used to have so much work and care put into them that none of the newer ones will ever seem to get. Reality Composer Pro seems to be the exception, but it's not even native.

Fun fact: You have Final Cut Pro to thank for asset catalogs in Xcode
