I bought a full spec M5 Max MBP. Yesterday.

I'm relieved.

$7349, and as of today, it'd be $10149

That's why I updated, as well.

No, M5 Max MBP with all the options.

I wanted a Studio, but if I was going to get a Studio, I'd get something older because they crippled the current models.

I have an M2 Max, as well, and I wonder what I could get for it on resale... or maybe I should just keep it.

WOW. I'm glad I bought the beast yesterday.

The same spec machine I got yesterday is now $2800 more.

I have an M2 Max MBP with 96GB of RAM. What models and setup would you use for this kind of configuration?

Which means that the bubble pop will be that much worse too.

Do subscriptions make the ads go away? If not, it's hard to see much value proposition in them.

Framework.

Checked that. It's not off.

Mac-to-Android texting with the Messages app is broken for me, as of macOS and iOS 26.5

I'm just curious to know if other users have experienced this, before I go to extreme troubleshooting steps.

I can send direct from the iPhone, but the forwarding from the Mac feature is broken for messages destined for Android devices.

I spent a couple hours on the phone with Apple Support and did extensive troubleshooting, and they finally told me I should reinstall macOS. Seems pretty extreme, to me.

How is that machine for local inference? It's a serious consideration for me, but getting to hear more from folks that already have it would be helpful.

One of the things I'm wondering about is what I'm missing for $LLM to create files on the local FS like Claude and Codex do. What I see instead is stuff just printing to stdout, rather than files on the filesystem.

What am I missing?

Any chance you'd be willing to talk further about your setup? I have 2 x 3090s in a local machine, and I'm still left with questions about how best to use stuff locally.

That's all at the very bottom of the crash report.

OP - I don't know if there's anything else I can do to assist, other than the bug report output I put in the gist, but let me know. I'm happy to help.

Sorry... it's DOA for me. Just installed it, and I can't even open it. Immediately crashes on open. Repeatedly.

Is this a direct shot at things like OpenClaw, or am I reading it wrong?
