I’m a pretty good typist, but my thoughts still race ahead of my fingers, so it’s nice to have a utility for entering frequently used words and phrases by typing just an abbreviation. 1646: Security-focused OS updates, Photos Workbench review, Mastodon client wishlist, Apple-related conferences.1647: Focus-caused notification issues, site-specific browser examples, virtualizing Windows on M-series Macs.#1648: iPhone passcode thefts, Center Cam improves webcam eye contact, APFS Uncertainty Principle. ![]()
