macOS Tahoe (macOS 26)

Day One hasn't existed as a concept for years now.

It's more like Day 99 today.
It was released yesterday so...

Anyway, it's not something I need in my life.
 
Personal M4 Pro updated, smooth so far.

Work M2 Pro updated to 15.7, will wait for 26.2 before upgrading prod machine.
 
Updated MacBook Pro (M2) and iPhone (16 Pro) this morning. Looking good. Especially liking the new keyboard layout on the phone - feels more accurate.

Will do watch tonight and looking forward to testing the translation feature with AirPods.
 
Apple sometimes.

macOS Sequoia & macOS 26: Even though you have an ultra wide monitor, splitting windows in 2 is sufficient.

iPadOS 26: You have an 11 inch iPad Pro, you definitely need to be able split your windows in 3.

Seems there a bug with Quick Look ( space bar ), seems the pop up runs at 30fps. Tested on a couple of machine in the family, M1, M3, and M4's all do the same.

Magnet is still your best friend.

I’ve actually not enjoyed the iPadOS Window management experience at all…seems very manual now compared to before.

Also hate losing slide over. Don’t understand why they couldn’t leave the normal system as is and just add the new one optionally because the features don’t overlap at all.
 
bit off topic but out of the v26 releases the call screening feature on iPhone is making a huge difference.

As for Tahoe - no issues on an M1 MBP, M1 mini and M4 Max Studio

I purchased Magnet back in 2021 and as soon as Apple brought their window tiling feature Iin Sequoia decided to uninstall it. Looks like I'll need to download and install. Such a drag.

Never used magnet. My favorite is still the way Windows Powertoys Fancyzones did it where you sliced up each screen into your desired layout of zones and then if you held down shift while dragging/moving a window over any zone it would snap and fit to the zone if you released the mouse button. A whole bunch of other functionality but it's still the best implementation I've used to date.

I mean Magnet does similar I believe, but for me it’s all keyboard shortcuts as I like to work in 1/3rds.

I just installed Bentobox - works almost indentically as the Powertoys implementation but a few less features. The keyboard shortcuts aren't nearly as intuitive for me as simply dragging a window while holding shift and release it to autofill the zone.
