@semurjengkol itu kayaknya cuma batery level atau posisi kapasitas baterai sekarang.

yang dimaksud di atas adalah batas kapasitas maksimal charging, jadi misal kapasitas baterai kalo full 100%, maka dengan aplikasi AlDente (berbayar) atau Battery (gratis) bisa atur kapasitas maksimal yang bisa dicharging 80% maka saat baterai sentuh 80% charging akan berhenti meski charger tetap tersambung. Di keluarga apple tujuannya adalah mengurangi hitungan cycle count (karena user apple sering menganggap cycle count sebagai salah satu patokan harga dalam membeli produk apple bekas).

di iOS fungsi ini sudah tersedia tapi di #macos belum ada. Makanya versi #Tahoe 26.4 kayaknya fungsi itu akan dirilis.

It's been a while but I was reminded that Java is shit.

Python is better, but has issues, mostly because of macOS.

And macOS permissions for user-created applications are a nightmare!

But a big, big thanks goes out to tools like Platypus.

"Platypus is a developer tool that creates native Mac applications from command line scripts such as shell scripts or Python, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript and PHP programs."

The macOS 26.4 developer beta isn’t showing any new emoji in the system picker yet, but there are new references added for hairy creature, fight cloud, distorted face, trombone, orca, apple core, ballet dancers, treasure chest, and landslide. So they’re definitely coming with the .4 updates. 🙂👨🏻‍💻

Finally. Took them long enough. This should have been added to the Mac decades ago. Using third party apps to accomplish charge limiting always requires downgrading system security settings that make me uncomfortable. 💻🔋

Today I learned how to set up SSH access to so I can remotely install updates and such on mom's mini without having to actually take over her screen and interrupt anything she might be doing. Also discovered macOS ships with cron and vim, so I also scheduled weekly backups of her mac.

macOS 26.4 apparently contains a dialog for applications that won't work after the removal of Rosetta 2. But Apple has also said that Rosetta 2 will stay for "older games". So how are they determining what are old games and what isn't? #apple #macos

Here's one area where the quality of Apple Mac software just took a nose dive since Big Sur.

I often double-click on the toolbar to minimize windows to the Dock. However, now you have to guess what sections of the toolbar does double-click to minimize work actually trigger the action.

• FINDER: Both sidebar & content area of the toolbar wor
• XCODE: Only sidebar area of the toolbar works
• MUSIC: Only the content area of the toolbar works

(Video shows it may eat up one of my clicks.)

Any ideas for how to address the issues related to URL “cruft” in copying/pasting links, like for the Teaching in Higher Ed show notes. My hope is to remove any tracking parameters, long/cluttered URLs, etc., and just provide listeners with the shortest link possible (without resorting to link shorteners, which come with their own problems).

I am on

  • Dodano możliwość przekazywania powiadomień do urządzenia firmy trzeciej – można przekazać je tylko do jednego urządzenia naraz

macOS Tahoe 26.4 beta 1

  • Pojawiła się możliwość ustawienia limitu ładowania baterii znana z ustawień iPhone'a
  • Przywrócona została możliwość włączenia kompaktowych zakładek w aplikacji Safari (również w iPadOS 26.4)
  • Podczas uruchamiania aplikacji korzystających z Rosetta 2 pojawi się komunikat o zakończeniu wsparcia w nadchodzącej wersji macOS 27

W pozostałych betach systemów, tj.:

  • watchOS 26.4 beta 1
  • tvOS 26.4 beta 1
  • oraz visionOS 26.4 beta 1

nie odnotowano zauważalnych zmian i nowości.

Yo, Apple heard you like macOS 15.7.4, so they’re offering you an update to 15.7.4 that updates it to 15.7.4.

does anyone else's spotlight just stop being able to find anything? and you have to go re-indexing, which sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't, and.... is just getting to be really not good

Gibt es eine #Dropbox Alternative, die ähnlich gut für #macos und #linux funktioniert?

I’m Shipping Like I Have a Team (I Don’t)

There’s this meme about a kid who got an angle grinder and it “changed his life” — the joke being he’s now cutting catalytic converters off cars. Dark humor aside, there’s a kernel of truth there: the right tool at the right time can completely change your trajectory.

For me, that tool was Claude with a Max subscription and a handful of CLI utilities. Over the past few months, I’ve built more software than I had in the previous three years combined.

The Setup

It’s not complicated:

  • Claude Max: $100/month → now upgraded to the subscription with API access
  • Claude Code: Anthropic’s CLI for agentic development
  • Open Claw: Orchestration
  • A handful of connected tools GitHub, file system, web access

That’s it. No massive infrastructure. No team. Just me, talking to a model that can actually do things.

What I’ve Built

iOS apps. macOS utilities. Web apps. Infrastructure for the Little League I help run. A podcast recording studio. Tools that solve problems I didn’t even know I had until building them became trivial.

I’m not going to list everything — that’s not the point. The point is that the list exists at all.

A year ago, most of these ideas would have stayed in my notes app. “That would be cool, but…” followed by all the reasons it wouldn’t happen. Too much boilerplate. Too many APIs to learn. Too many weekends I’d rather spend with my kids.

Now? I built walk-up music software for my daughter’s softball team because she asked for it. It’s in the App Store. She’ll use it at games. That sentence still feels surreal to type.

The Unlock

Here’s what changed: I stopped being the bottleneck.

Before, I’d have an idea, think “that would take a weekend,” and never start. Or I’d start and get stuck on some tedious part — API integration, UI polish, test coverage — and abandon it.

Now I describe what I want, iterate on the approach, and let the agent handle the mechanical parts. I focus on *what* to build and *why*. The *how* is a collaboration.

It’s not magic. The code isn’t perfect. I still review everything, fix edge cases, make judgment calls. But the ratio of “thinking about building” to “actually building” has completely inverted.

The Compound Effect

When building is fast, you build more. When you build more, you get better at describing what you want. When you get better at describing, building gets faster. It compounds.

But here’s what I didn’t expect: the *ambition* compounds too.

Projects I would have dismissed as “too much work” now feel approachable. Integrations I would have hand-waved away (“I’d need to learn that API…”) happen in an afternoon. The ceiling on what feels possible keeps rising.

This is what a new era feels like. Not a single breakthrough moment, but a gradual realization that the rules changed and you’re still playing the old game.

The Angle Grinder Parallel

That kid with the angle grinder? He suddenly had leverage. A tool that multiplied his physical capability dramatically.

This is intellectual leverage. I have the same 24 hours everyone else has, but I’m shipping like I have a small team. Ideas that would’ve stayed in my notes app are now real software that people use.

We’re at one of those inflection points that only becomes obvious in retrospect. The way we build software is changing — not incrementally, but fundamentally. The gap between “I wish this existed” and “I built this” is collapsing.

And honestly? I don’t think most people have caught on yet. A year from now, this will feel obvious. Right now, it still feels like a secret.

If you’ve been on the fence about trying AI-assisted development, just start. Pick a small project. Describe it clearly. See what happens.

You might be surprised what you can build with the right grinder.

Jake Spurlock builds things in the Bay Area. By day he’s a Forward Deployed Engineer at WordPress VIP. By night he’s apparently become a one-man software studio. He spends too much time thinking about baseball.

Today on AppAddict - Writing Apps: Fluent vs. Rewrite Bar - I’m currently covering apps on sale at BundleHunt. Many of these are new to me, and steep discounts are a good excuse to try tools you might otherwise ignore — or to fill gaps in a workflow you didn’t realize had gaps.
