Photoshop 27 adds a “quiet mode” setting. I really hope it puts and end to the non-stop ads and tips. I can’t see a “quiet mode” setting in Illustrator 30.

I think iOS 26.1 changed the dock, so icons are no longer aligned with the grid above. I am not into this.

I’ve been working on the iStat Menus, Pinwheel, and Skala Icon Composer app icons. Pinwheel’s icon was updated a couple of weeks ago, and iStat Menus will be soon. It’s great that the mono versions can be entirely different, if you’d like.

Brother used to make synthesisers. Yes, that Brother. The printer company! It included a drum machine, microphone input, and speakers.

Surprisingly, my two biggest gripes with macOS 26 are the lock screen clock animating to the current time, and the new terrible window tabs. The clock seems to animate only when the laptop lid is opened, rather than every time macOS wakes. It’s incredibly distracting.

The new iOS 26 and macOS app icon shape looks like it is based on the iOS 7 app icon shape with a larger radius, rather than a superellipse. Here’s an image diff with my best attempt matching a superellipse. It’s not quite the same.

Fixing issues like this matters a lot more to me than Liquid Glass or AI or building cars or VR headsets.

Finally opened up the Talker prototype and was able to dump the firmware with the help of a friend. It seems like a late prototype, but there are still wires on the board and one of hole on the back panels has been cut by hand.

Another speedrun attempt for the 1976 American Bicentennial symbol. This one is also far accurate. It’d be nice if Illustrator’s corner radius widget snapped to shapes.

I was able to purchase a DigiTech Talker prototype! The Daft Punk vocoder research continues! It was called Guitar-Talker prior to release, and had different mode names. Do they sound the same? I don’t know yet.

I did like this shot in the keynote. It looks simple, but there’s no camera or camera operator in the reflection of the Vision Pro. I bet it took some effort to get right. #wwdc2025
