Can this really be true? If an app ever wants to be *able* to launch on login in Ventura, it must forever appear in the "Allow in the Background" section of the Login Items screen in System Settings? developer.apple.com/forums/thread/… The new SMAppService.mainApp.register() and unregister() calls will add and remove an app from the "Open at Login" section, but nothing seems to remove an app from the "Allow in the Background" section. The forum answer from Quinn linked earlier says this is intended.

On @atpfm 431 we discussed the latest ARM-based Mac Pro rumors. Keeping in mind that Apple's marketing diagram of the M1 SoC does NOT accurately represent the floor plan of the chip, I nevertheless thought it would be fun to extrapolate from it to the rumored Mac Pro power plant. Even if the rumors are true, it's not clear at all if this would all be on a single die or even a single package. It could be 3nm instead of 5 nm. The CPU/GPU cores could be different. And who knows where the RAM would be? But assuming the same cores, one die, and 5nm…it's big.

When I keep getting something wrong in a particular way, I often try to make the opposite mistake on purpose. For example, if I keep overcooking a dish, I try to intentionally undercook it. Or if I’m hitting a serve long in tennis, I try to hit the top of the net instead. Sometimes I do, in fact, make the opposite mistake. The serve hits the net. The food ends up practically raw.

Well, I finally saw Tenet, and it made me wonder if Nolan uses a similar technique.

Regressions from my generation of Accord (the previous one) to the current generation. (Thread.)

The dash angles toward the driver much more at knee-level (red line), making the footwell feel more cramped than if it were straighter (blue line) line in my gen. Continuing a years-long trend, the glove box is even more like a hatch on the bottom of the dash than a door in the front of it, making it flop onto your legs instead of opening up in front of you.
