The Myth of Liquid Detection
(eclecticlight.co)
Macs have developed their own mythology, and this week I unintentionally came across a myth that developed over a year ago. Like so many it was born from a chance observation, this time of a new background process that appeared on 25 October 2023 in macOS Sonoma 14.1, and was reported in 9to5Mac on 3 November 2023.

How your Mac can update macOS when you don’t want it to
(eclecticlight.co)
Over the last few years, many have reported that their Macs spontaneously updated or even upgraded macOS when they didn’t expect them to, and often against their wishes.

Waste Makes Haste?
(anukari.com)
I've been really digging into MacOS optimizations over the last few days. Being ALU-bound is quite a pain in the butt, because unlike being memory-bound, there are a lot fewer big changes I can make to speed things up. Mostly I've been working on instruction-level optimizations, none of which have had a big impact. I've gotten to where I don't see anything else that is really worth optimizing at this level.

MacOS sometimes leaks traffic after system updates
(mullvad.net)
We have found that you could be leaking traffic on macOS after system updates. To our current knowledge a reboot resolves it. We are currently investigating this and will follow up with more information.

Disable Sequoia's monthly screen recording permission prompt
(tinyapps.org)
The widely-reported "foo is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio" prompt in Sequoia (which Apple has moved from daily to weekly to now monthly) can be disabled by quitting the app, setting the system date far into the future, opening and using the affected app to trigger the nag, clicking "Allow For One Month", then restoring the correct date.
