<p>Hmm, I remember when Ars Technica macOS reviews were the gold standard. This one isn't bad, but I miss having more in-depth information about the improvements.<p>In my opinion, the details here complement the Ars Technica article nicely:<p><a href="https://www.macstories.net/stories/macos-27-the-macstories-review/" rel="nofollow">https://www.macstories.net/stories/macos-27-the-macstories-r...</a></p>

<p>On my short tests: This model is amazing and the speed makes it feel like another sort of AI.<p>But it's bad at code reviews (maybe it's the harness agy cli?). Could not get it to same quality level on reviews like Opus, GPT 5.6, Grok. Even tried special code review skills but no luck.</p>

<p>wait for it... I can see a future were every wallet, payment etc. app will block devices which are on custom ROMs and do not pass strong hardware integrity with blessing from Google.<p>I've read once that there are paid app testing labs which test if an app has root and custom ROM detection and when they don't have that it's a minus point on the report.</p>

<p>I just wonder how they handle full Google's certification for hardware integrity + Google Play Store with GrapheneOS. They contradict on this part on the normal GrapheneOS mod and I don't see a way how they will not on Motorola phones.<p>Banking apps (e.g. Revolut) block GrapheneOS actively and many other apps too.<p>But it will be interesting times once they are out!</p>

<p>In Germany the Dell XPS 13 2026 is 56% more expensive (over 1000 Euros) than the MacBook Neo (below 700). So the claim does not hold World wide, maybe only in US on local prices.</p>

<p>As if supply chain attacks could have been prevented by 2fa or passkeys always.<p>You want delays by x days because supply chain attacks get caught very often within 1-2 days. And if you really really want to make an exception for a zero day then that's no problem and you can still quick patch by exclusion of that rule. They don't contradict in a unsolvable problem. You want both, you get both.</p>

<p>There was once a 2.5" SSD Mushkin Source 16TB SATA drive. At its cheapest it was ~1700 USD (or 1500 EUR). That was mid 2023 (like 3 years ago!).<p>Nowadays it feels like that this time and price region is like decades away in the future. I was hoping I can store more data in future on modern tech like SSDs and not less.</p>

<p>Meanwhile I'm still dreaming about any consumer and affordable 32TB or even 16TB portable SSD. Innovation and market for consumers are going backwards.<p>Funny thing is that one of the best you can get is the Crucial (Micron) 8TB one but even that one gets more expensive. I have the feeling it will be gone completely soon.</p>

<p>That's a trend which is more and more common nowadays.<p>I wish the industry would adopt more zero knowledge methods in this regards. They are existing and mathematically proven but it seems there is no real adoption.<p>- OpenAI wants my passport when topping up 100 USD<p>- Bolt wanted recently my passport number to use their service<p>- Anthropic seems wants to have passports for new users too<p>- Soon age restriction in OS or on websites<p>I wished there would be a law (in Europe and/or US) to minify or forbid this kind of identity verification.<p>I want to support the companies to not allow misuse of their platforms, at the same time my full passport photo is not their concern, especially in B2B business in my opinion.</p>

<p>I saw some non-technical people automating or creating small great tools with it which they need for their profession.
