#macos Tahoe update to 26.4. Description of the update begins with introducing 8 new emoji (which is followed by the standard mentioning of security and performance updates). The update weights over 8 GB.
Bottomline: 8 new emoji in an 8GB update. 1 gig per emoji. I honestly think that #Apple should consider how they communicate about their updates.

PSA:

If your Apple iOS device is indicating an update to iOS 26.4 then an 18+ age verification will be needed post update.

If this cannot be completed with your existing Apple account information you will be asked for a credit card or a driving licence as age conformation.

UK Debit Cards or Passports are not accepted.

If the verification doesn't work on the first attempt a complete device reboot might be needed to get a successful verification.

Apple Maps gets ads: Initially on iPhone and iPad

Apple's Maps app currently only shows organic and editorial content. This will change soon. The rollout will happen in stages.

Bit of a left-field PSA this, but… if you own an iPhone/iPad in the UK and:

- you DON'T own a credit card
- you DON'T have a driving license
- you have NOT had your Apple account for more than 18 years

…don't upgrade to iOS 26.4 if you want to install (in some cases use already installed) 17+ rated apps or stream 18+ films/tv on itvX, netflix, etc.

The update adds mandatory OS-level age verification to meet UK law and, currently, Apple doesn't accept passports (!) to prove age.

A propos of nothing.

I am now (un)officially under-18! Updated #iPhone. Tried to register the new age verification reqs as part of #OnlineSafetyAct but #Apple ONLY permits driver's licence or credit card, (not passports). I have neither. 1hr with Apple Support - no possible solutions other than get driver's licence / credit card (or buy a National ID card).
So now, no Apple Pay, ITVX, iPlayer, gaming apps or much else until Apple change their verification criteria.
Oh well!

Maybe I use it differently, but I simply don’t understand all the fuss about iOS 26. I’ve been using a Mac since the 90s and I’ve had an iPhone since the first one came out in 2007. Nothing really all that surprising with this update.

Now, I don’t use the floating windows or any of the AI slop, but I control all that still.

I’m on my iPad all day long. More than even my laptop, by far. I do more on it than most. Design. Video. Photography. Writing. It all just works.

Push Notifications and MastoBlaster

MastoBlaster, like other Fediverse apps, uses a design that maximizes user privacy.

When you log in to your instance, the app and the server exchange the necessary cryptographic keys. The app also communicates to the instance the address of the relay, which is the server responsible for forwarding notifications to Apple.

When a new notification is generated:

1. Your instance encrypts the notification.
2. It sends the encrypted payload to the relay.
3. The relay forwards it to Apple using its own authentication key.
4. Apple delivers it to your device.

The content of the notification is encrypted by your Fediverse server and can only be decrypted by your device.

The relay, which in the case of MastoBlaster is dedicated and hosted on a FreeBSD server, receives only encrypted data. It cannot read the content, does not know which account the notification belongs to, and does not store any information about the notification itself.

Apple knows which relay sent the notification and which device it must be delivered to, but it cannot access the content.

In short, only your instance and your device can read the notification.

I feel I'm coming up against #Apple and their tactic of forcing upgrades... my Mac now only unlocks using TouchID or my Watch about 40% of the time, forcing me to use my password like a heathen the rest of the time.

I won't go to #macos #Tahoe, glass sucks bad enough on my phone / tablet, I don't want it on my computer as well.

Und da ich bei der Gelegenheit gelernt habe, dass Bernd so habe bei mir wohnt, dass man das Teil werfen kann, habe ich dankend angenommen.

Unprecedented malware attacks on iPhones: Apple urges update

Classic Mac experts – do you know if/where the contents of the system error handler area on a Mac Plus (so using 128kB ROMs) are defined?

This area runs from 0x3FFC80 to 0x3FFCFF – between the primary frame buffer and the sound/PWM buffer – on a 4MB system. Memory locations 0x3FFC80-0x3FFCBF seem to be used to store all 16 CPU registers, but the rest seems difficult to figure out.

Why after avoiding Apple for decades, I'm buying the new Apple Neo

I have been almost entirely in the #Google ecosystem since the dawn of Google, and in fact bought my first Android phone the first day the first Android phone (the venerable G1 with the slide-out keyboard, which I still have and still boots, though with an open source OS version) became available. All my smartphones since then have been Android -- I don't expect that to change.

Other than the single purchase of a tiny iPod Nano long ago, I have avoided #Apple hardware due (among other things) to its typically outrageous pricing and lack of competition in the hardware manufacturing space.

In fact, I made an anti-Apple decision long, long ago, when I chose to work with the 8080/Z80 CPU microcomputers rather than the 68000 series CPUs that Apple chose for its early Macintosh and Lisa lines.

Of course my main work over the decades has been with UNIX/Linux, my servers are and have always run these, and my primary desktops are Linux as well. There are also a number of Chromebooks, Android tablets, Android/Google based TV devices, and some Windows systems for compatibility with needed Windows apps. There more stuff of course but you get the idea.

Along the way I've frequently been asked about issues related specifically to Apple iOS and MACs, and I have simply replied that I don't have expertise with those.

So I've long been aware of this gap, but couldn't justify the expense of any Apple hardware simply for the purpose of filling that gap.

Two events have changed this a bit. First it's clear that both Google and Apple have been moving with notable speed ever farther into the Dark Side, with their billionaire CEOs embracing fascist Trump and seemingly everything evil that he represents.

This creates an interesting dynamic, if one feels that purely open source systems cannot completely fulfill one's required hardware and software needs. In essence, the question becomes is it better to deal mainly with a single Evil Big Tech firm, or split your needs in some respects across two of them (or three, if we include Windows requirements and Microsoft).

For now I view the "split" as the most practical choice -- for me, anyway -- and the new Apple #Neo (whose macOS runs a largely usable UNIX under the hood) represents what seems to be the most cost effective current path to this (it does appear to be a disruptive design in terms of capabilities and pricing, that may give Google's Chromebooks a run for their money, especially in the educational space).

Anyway, just thought I'd mention all this -- more than you wanted to know, of course.

Best,

L
