I use C/C++ for all my projects. Debt Badge, Clucks Capacitor, homemade power-wall, sculpting software for my haptic interface.
I suppose with AI assisting, the clunkiness of developing in C disappears and the efficiency shines. How soon until the language doesnāt matter?

On $20 plans, $1 of Sol costs 7x what $1 of Opus does. A task, only 1.3x
Just the API equivalent usage for a subscription isn't enough. You need to show the efficiency of the models as well.

šØNEW INVESTIGATION: zero-click mercenary spyware hacking via targeted ads.
A normal-looking ad loads. If you're a target, you're infected. No click needed.
To protect yourself, block ads now.
First time it's been confirmed in the wild. We call it #AdFection.
Candiru spyware infections at @AJEnglish. 45+ devices infected.
Same ad pipeline operated by Israeli company Discover-Tech reached NATO, European Parliament, dozens of gov networks & critical infrastructure incl US nuclear giant Westinghouse.
Confiant, which worked with us, found signs ads were displayed at US @DeptofWar, IAEA & ICC.
Investigation ongoing 1/

New: I got a tip a little while ago about a shadowy Pentagon entity called "TSO" with a lot of money and a desire for offensive hacking tools.
Turns out TSO is a new DoD agency. And it does a lot more than hacking.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-kā¦

I built a Photoshop-like image editor. Itās called Compositor.
robbietilton.com/compositor
I originally built it for myself to get off my Adobe subscription, but decided to release it for free and make it open source. It has all the essential tools I need for compositing, with none of the BS.
I know this workflow is kind of archaic in 2026, but Iām still using it until AI can actually get pixel-perfect on some of the details.
The entire app is 12MB. Photoshop is 6,455MB on my machine.

Tired of seeing āAsk Siriā on every menu? Here's how to disable it.
In macOS 27, after enabling Siri AI, all context menus include a persistent āAsk Siriā context menu item. Turns out you can actually disable it without turning off Siri AI.
To disable, run the following commands in the Terminal app:
codes=(soft apwn exit loca lock logo rlgo rcnt rrst rest rsdn shut slep spro syss)
args=(-int 0)
for code in "${codes[@]}"; do
hex=$(printf %s "$code" | xxd -p -u)
args+=(-int "$((16#$hex))")
done
defaults write -g NSAppleMenuAllowedItems -array "${args[@]}"
and give your Mac a restart.
---
NSAppleMenuAllowedItems controls which items are visible in the ļ£æ menu. For some reason, Apple decided that macOS shouldn't insert āAsk Siriā whenever the filter is active, even if nothing is actually disabled.
The command allowlists all ļ£æ menu items. It doesn't include "abtm" (About This Mac) because it is unconditionally visible in the current code.
Re-enable with: defaults delete -g NSAppleMenuAllowedItems

"small potatoes"
JUST IN: President Trump agrees with VP JD Vance in refusing to call the months-long U.S. military action in Iran a war, instead calling it a "military conflict" and describing the whole thing as "small potatoes" to the United States.
"Well, I'll tell you what. A lot of people don't call it a war. I call it a military conflict because it's small potatoes for us. It's not a big thing."

If anyoneās curious how a shortcut like this works, hereās mine.
- It requires iOS 27 because a bunch of stuff changed.
- It uses the cloud model because the on-device model is junk.
- It uses a custom prompt and dumps the corrected, dictated text to a note. But you can send it anywhere else, including Obsidian.
- Assign this shortcut to your action button or whatever and have fun!
