Apple has rearranged payment options, commissions and eligibility rules for alternative distribution, but there are no changes whatsoever to the Apple Developer Program or to the utter inability to develop and run my own software on my own devices without paying Apple for the privilege of having it not expire… ## [ArcBrush](https://taoofmac.com/space/apps/arcbrush?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-18 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ ArcBrush editing a texture through a node graph ArcBrush is a native C++ node-based image editor for Windows, macOS and Linux, built around reusable, non-destructive processing graphs. Its 97 nodes cover image input, colour and palette operations, transforms, filters, compositing and export–effectively turning the sort of repeatable processing chain that usually ends up as an ImageMagick… ## [Frasier Fantasy](https://taoofmac.com/space/links/2026/08/18/0716?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-18 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ As a fan of the original (and highly existentially conflicted) Frasier TV show, I found this delightful solely because it exists, although a few minutes playing it on the web made it pretty obvious there is a lot of depth I will never have the patience to go into because, somewhat like Frasier, I do not seem to ever catch a break. ## [More eReading Devices Expected from Boox](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=25709) _2026-08-17 · admin · eBook Rumors_ Notebookcheck lists Boox’s expected additions to its lineup of eReading devices. ## [Qwen 3.8 27B Is Excellent, But Slow](https://taoofmac.com/space/links/2026/08/17/0643?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-17 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ There is certainly quite a bit more to optimise in local inference–Simon got around 72% more throughput from MTP speculative decoding–even if most readily available (and not hugely overpriced) consumer hardware still can’t quite get to the point where memory bandwidth makes dense models usable interactively. I can’t wait for an A3B or adaptive quantisation version to come out to see how it fares… ## [Notes for August 9–16](https://taoofmac.com/space/notes/2026/08/16/1900?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-16 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ This was a different week, partly because we decided to watch the eclipse from a Spanish beachfront and partly because I actually read three books. There is an entire sub-thread around my back and neck aching worse than ever and my sleep patterns looking like a game of Splatoon that I will spare my readership, though. I do think that this week’s Economist completely nailed the holiday feeling… ## [XTEINK X4 Pro eReader Reviewed](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=25707) _2026-08-16 · admin · eBook Rumors_ Stark Insider reviews the pocket-sized XTEINK X4 Pro eReader. ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/12h24hu3Wpnt) _2026-08-16 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [FREE eBOOK DOWNLOADS](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=24863) _2026-08-15 · admin · eBook Rumors_ The following websites offer a wide selection of Free eBook titles from the classics, to contemporary, and non-fiction.

I had no idea Apple had done this bad an icon for what is likely the only game they ever shipped with early OS X. ## [eReader Size Continues to Matter](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=25701) _2026-08-12 · admin · eBook Rumors_ The Gadgeteer talks about the pocket-sized Boox Pico eReader. ## [Bigme B6 Colour eReader in Spotlight](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=25699) _2026-08-11 · admin · eBook Rumors_ GadgetGuy writes about the Bigme B6 Colour eReader. ## [Pocket-sized Xteink X4 Pro eReader Reviewed](https://www.ebookrumors.com/?p=25697) _2026-08-10 · admin · eBook Rumors_ Wired reviews the pocket-sized Xteink X4 Pro eReader ## [Notes for August 3-8](https://taoofmac.com/space/notes/2026/08/08/1200?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-08 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ I have a problem. Or, rather, I have two problems: I have been spending far too much time messing about with AI instead of reading. I end up zoning out in front of YouTube and, even with serious attempts at curating my feed, I spend far more time than I should there. I’ve griped about this before , but this week I decided to take some time to fine-tune the friction around those activities–removing… ## [EPUB](https://taoofmac.com/space/markup/epub?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-08 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ EPUB is an open W3C format for distributing digital publications as a single file. It packages structured web content–primarily XHTML , CSS , SVG , images and fonts–with metadata, navigation and a defined reading order. Most EPUB publications are reflowable, allowing a reading system to adapt text to the screen and the reader’s font, spacing and colour preferences. The format also supports fixed… ## [Quake: Dawn of the Machine](https://taoofmac.com/space/links/2026/08/07/0933?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-07 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ Wow, 30 years. Part of that seems to have whizzed by, and it has been a long while since I last played Quake . I always hated the hellish look, but the technology was irresistible–and looking back, it is pretty amazing how much it shaped my career, or at least my pastimes. Running Quake servers at an ISP is quite literally how I initially ended up in marketing instead of engineering, and it got me… ## [Make any domain metal (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/y5UQYZPP7dcV) _2026-08-07 · **Sponsored**_ Turn any domain into a blacked-out metal landing page with an email waitlist ## [3D Printing State of the Union](https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2026/08/06/1700?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-06 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ Since I got a new printer last week and I’ve been documenting my endeavours in this realm in a rather haphazard way, I thought it would be useful to do a sort of catch-up/snapshot of where things are (and have been) for a while now. Right now I have three 3D printers (down from four): The KP3S Pro , which is my “tiny”, near-silent printer The Two Trees SK1 , my former workhorse A brand-new… ## [Proxmox VE Gets Official Arm64 Support](https://taoofmac.com/space/links/2026/08/06/0820?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-06 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ It’s about time. I’ve been running adapted versions of Proxmox on ARM for a few years now–first Pimox on a Raspberry Pi 4 , and later on RK3588 boards –and ARM servers have been around for at least as long, so the fact that official support is only arriving now makes me a bit worried about Proxmox ’s ability to do off-the-wall things like pve-microvm . But this is proper support, with feature… ## [AirPort Utility](https://taoofmac.com/space/apps/airport_utility?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-05 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ Apple is removing AirPort Utility from iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate, eight years after discontinuing the hardware it manages. That is an unusually long run, but it still leaves working AirPort Express , AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule devices without Apple’s configuration software. airport-utility is an MIT-licensed reimplementation for macOS 27 and later, with a Swift interface and a Python… ## [Cloudflare OS](https://taoofmac.com/space/links/2026/08/05/1347?utm_content=atom) _2026-08-05 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ I should probably start marketing piclaw as “Cloudflare OS on your own hardware”, given the amount of convergent evolution agentic workspaces seem to be enjoying these days–persistent chats, tools, generated apps, terminals and guarded access to external services all seem to be arriving independently at roughly the same shape. The repository is, unsurprisingly, built around Workers and the rest of… ## [(MSIX) Amazon Kindle Reading App DeDRM (2026)](https://techy-notes.com/msix-amazon-kindle-reading-app-dedrm/) _2026-06-12 · Jadehawk · Techy-Notes.com_ ## [Amazon Kindle Reading App DeDRM (Android)(2026)](https://techy-notes.com/amazon-kindle-reading-app-dedrm-android/) _2026-06-11 · Jadehawk · Techy-Notes.com_ ## [DRM Removal from Kindle eBook Purchases (Legacy Method)](https://techy-notes.com/drm-removal-from-kindle-ebook-purchases-old-method/) _2026-06-10 · Jadehawk · Techy-Notes.com_ ## [What's Printing - Live Streams.](https://techy-notes.com/whats-printing-live-streams/) _2026-05-08 · Jadehawk · Techy-Notes.com_ I recently upgraded to a new 3D printer after years of using my old Ender 3 V2. That little machine taught me a lot about fixing and understanding printers, but waiting days for a single print eventually made it hard to enjoy. Still, I’m grateful for everything I ## [MLX / Apple Silicon AI](https://taoofmac.com/space/ai/mlx?utm_content=atom) _2026-04-25 · Rui Carmo · Tao of Mac_ A collection of tools, frameworks, and models built on or optimized for Apple’s MLX array framework and the Neural Engine (ANE) on Apple Silicon.
