After running into some problems with some rsync scripts recently, I discovered that in Mac OS 15.4, Apple switched its built-in rsync command from standard rsync to the BSD project’s clone, openrsync. It is apparently not 100% compatible, because my backup and deploy scripts that use it were failing.

Finally got the One UI 7 / Android 15 update on my phone (Samsung S24) today. 15’s been out on Pixel devices for six months, but it took Samsung a long time with this one. I had bought this phone in part because Samsung is supposed to be quick with releases. Hopefully, this doesn’t become the norm.
Not a lot has changed noticeably. My most liked change is that I can have most app icons match my chosen accent color (green) which makes my home screen and quick app drawer look much nicer. There’s also a feature which separates the notification drawer and quick settings slide down, where swiping down from the left shows one and from the right, the other. I’m still getting used to that but may find it results in less swipes. There are a few other aesthetic tweaks. I think there’s a bunch of AI stuff, but I’m not that interested in that.
An advantage of having a Pixel phone is that I got the upgrade to Android 10 on the release day.

Windows (OS) doesn’t seem to be tenable for my cellular data as home internet existence. At some point, Windows 10 seems to have removed any capability for the user to tell it when to do an update.
