With the late-May release of 1Password for Safari, we will be increasing the minimum Safari version required to support 1Password for Safari to Safari 18.6.

💬 1Password Announcement

… which got me to wondering. Turns out I am on 26.4 - which despite the numbering is not that much newer. 18.6 was replaced by 18.7 in September 2025 - not even a year ago.

Thats a pretty aggressive upgrade stance. The predecessor to 18.6 - 18.5 was only May last year.

Then again if you are someone who uses a password manager, I guess your propensity to keep your software up to date is going to be high.

The Irish tale of Oisín describes the warrior’s journey to Tir na nÓg, the land of youth. He spends three years there but when he returns to Éire to see his old fighting comrades from the Fianna, 300 years have passed.

And for a related 🎵 interlude …

Tír na nÓg are an Irish folk duo formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969 by Leo O’Kelly and Sonny Condell.[^cite_ref-LarkinGE_1-0][1] They are often considered one of the first progressive folk bands with other artists like Nick Drake or groups like Pentangle.

💬 Wikipedia

Not to be confused with Horslips - who along with Tír na nÓg were in constant circulation on ‘young John’s’ turntable back in the day. Almost certainly arrived at them via Pentangle and Fairport - but most definitely stood on their own. Still listen to Horslips to this day - not so much Tír na nÓg.

I checked to confirm that the model (ChatGPT Images 2.0) added the “WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS”.

👁️ I think you can learn it at school. And at home. With your friends. It just isn’t really ’taught’.

“You’re looking for three things, generally, in a person,” says Buffett. “Intelligence, energy, and integrity. And if they don’t have the last one, don’t even bother with the first two. I tell them, ‘Everyone here has the intelligence and energy—you wouldn’t be here otherwise. But the integrity is up to you. You weren’t born with it, you can’t learn it in school.”

💬🏢 To be declared a category king .. you need to be taking 70 percent - ish of all revenue and profits of said category. If nobody in a category is making a profit does that mean there is no category king❓Wondering on behalf of Sam, Dario et al.

💬🏢 That still doesn’t mean free - which is where I think people get confused. And for an extended thought ‘free’ is too often measured in not spending money. Associate your time with money and you start to realise how much free costs.

👁️🚧 Experiment.

A parody I believe - but just like with satire - I have this nervous feeling that parody might not be able to keep up with reality.

Which is why we all, as people who design culture whether we realize it or not, need to keep thinking about where we’ve been, where we’re going, and perhaps most importantly, how not to get too comfortable with where we currently are. 

💬 On the packaging front:

Apple completed the transition to 100 percent fiber-based packaging last year, fulfilling its pledge to remove plastic from packaging by 2025. Over the past 10 years, Apple engineers and designers have developed alternatives to common packaging components, replacing plastic screen protectors and trays with versions made with recycled or responsibly sourced paper. They also innovated to make packaging more recyclable, designing the largest boxes, like for the new Studio Display XDR, to collapse into smaller pieces that fit into a home recycling bin. Apple avoided more than 15,000 metric tons of plastic in the past five years alone – the equivalent of about 500 million plastic water bottles.
