Herdr, a terminal tool with over 700,000 downloads and nearly 1,000 plugins for managing coding agents, is releasing version 0.9 to let a single client control agents running on several separate machines at once. Previously each remote machine required its own Herdr client in a separate terminal tab, forcing users to manually track and switch between sessions. The update restructures how Herdr's client and server communicate so the outer interface can aggregate multiple independent servers.

Contrary to a recent report claiming new hardware chief John Ternus scrapped Apple's foldable Mac/iPad hybrid project, the device concept appears to still be in development, though likely years from release. The analysis suggests Apple's software convergence—like iPhone mirroring and cross-platform apps—has already addressed much of the original rationale for such a device.

A reviewer tested Kuycon's P20, a 28-inch 4500x3000 display with a 3:2 aspect ratio designed to echo the look of Apple's Studio Display while offering more vertical screen space, similar to Microsoft's Surface Studio. The unit shipped with issues, including a flickering first panel likely damaged in transit and a replacement that arrived without a stand, delaying full testing by months before the reviewer settled on it as a daily setup.

Asahi Linux developers have officially declared support for Apple's M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max Macs, bringing them close to parity with earlier M1/M2 support—except for the Mac Studio M3 Ultra, which remains unsupported. Key limitations remain, including weak GPU acceleration, no sleep mode, and non-functional HDMI ports on M3 MacBooks due to missing DCP support.

A programming-focused post lists dozens of widely believed but often incorrect assumptions about local area networks, covering NAT behavior, MAC address uniqueness, DHCP configuration, protocol assumptions, and reachability between devices on the same subnet. The list format deliberately states each falsehood as if true, following the popular 'Falsehoods Programmers Believe' meme style used for other technical domains.

Apple offers a built-in tool called Apple Diagnostics that tests a MacBook's internal hardware to determine whether issues like shutdowns, display glitches or keyboard failures stem from hardware or software. The tool isn't found in System Settings but is accessed during the startup sequence, and the steps differ depending on whether the machine uses Apple silicon or an Intel chip. On macOS 26 Tahoe and later, users can run individual tests on components like the display, keyboard or trackpad, while older systems run the full diagnostic automatically.
