   It does. The latest officially supported Xcode version runnable on Sequoia is 26.3. See https://developer.apple.com/xcode/system-requirements/ But it is possible to run even the latest Xcode 26.6 by directly execu

   Thanks, that's an interesting observation! When I double-clicked on the "Siri" process in Activity Monitor, I saw that it's an app called "Siri AI". If the "Siri AI" app has replaced Spotlight, then I

   Yes, I did something similar: prior to disabling Siri, I set Siri's language to French and kept the system language set to English (UK), but the Siri AI.app ("Siri" process in Activity Monitor) just keeps running despite Siri

   Thanks, I believe this is what the debloat script mentioned in my post does. I manually executed the `launchctl bootout` and `launchctl disable` commands on all Siri and AI-related services in the https://github.com/Oleksand

   Same here. Unfortunately, if you use Xcode to develop for iOS, then Apple basically forces you to install macOS 27 to be able to develop for the new iPhones. The iPhone 18 Pro requires Xcode 27, and Xcode 27 won't run on Sequoia. If an

   Instead of "Siri Classic", I selected the "Don’t Allow Siri" option, but it didn't help. The "Siri" (Siri AI.app) process keeps running regardless.

   IIRC, iPhones (and every other smartphone) records variable frame rate videos (VFR), whereas professional cameras can record constant frame rate videos (CFR). I think that VFR videos need to be re-encoded into CFR videos in order to be able

    Would it be possible to point out more details about where Apple got the math wrong and which inaccurate approximations they use? I'm genuinely curious and want to learn more about it.

    I second Apple having great IPS monitors and iPad displays. I couldn't notice any IPS glow or backlight bleeding and/or dimming at the edges when using an iMac. I can't believe manufacturers like Dell, LG or Samsung can'

    I accept that the organic material contained in the pixels has limited lifespan and that the brightness of each pixel will eventually wear out. That's just the limitation of the technology. But I'd like an OLED monitor to somehow
