macOS 26 says goodbye to the classic hard drive icon
I'll keep mine toompantone said:
You are free to change it.rhbellmor said:I’m all for updating the hard drive icon… but this new one does not have an appealing look. At least to my appeal.
There have been desktop icon packages, etc. for macOS/OS X for decades and for earlier Apple operating systems before that. I'm using some disk icon for my Macintosh HD boot drive that I found in 2011 when I yanked the factory Hitachi 2.5" HDD spinner from my Mac mini 2010 server and replaced it with a 120GB SSD from OCZ.
I think I found the one I'm currently using via an Internet search (yeah, I know many people online have seemed to have forgotten how to use search engines):

I just searched for "macos ssd icon" and switched to image results.
If you find a compatible icon, all you need to do is cut and paste via the Get Info window for that particular object rather than try to hack the entire operating system. It's way easier than the bad old days when mucking around with ResEdit was often required.

At last Apple is dumping those pointless, wasteful stickers
Do you think the dairy & beef industry is throwing away the skins? Seriously?Xed said:Not the same thing. The leather used in their wallets isn't coming from chicken, pork, or cattle raised as beef or dairy.

"Most leather comes from cows raised for both beefand milk"
"Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms and slaughterhouses because skin is the most economically important coproduct of the meat industry."
(I do use leather on my iphone mini case - and use Bestgrip leather grips on my golf clubs)
ps Pigskin is excellent leather, as is kangaroo amongst many other animal skins.

How to make the most of your Mac's trackpad
Better Touch Tool is outstanding - and also allows for custom keyboard shortcuts, and a clipboard manager.
Here's my settings for Safari for easy trackpad switching between tabs, new tab, close tab, go to top of page, open link in new tab etc
If Apple had encouraged those who had the touch bar to give BTT a try, i suspect it would have been far more popular and appreciated.

Hands on with Apple Vision Pro ZEISS optical inserts
Prism isn’t correction for astigmatism. You can see the ‘Axis’ option at the Zeiss web page which is the astimatism correction…appleinsideruser said:No (prism) correction for astigmatism, that’s a shame.
