If you were managing Macs in the enterprise fifteen years ago, you weren’t just an IT admin who loved Apple, you were a survivalist. In those days, Apple was often an afterthought in the corporate world, treated as a nuisance by many IT leaders who prioritized Windows and PC deployments. Because we didn’t have massive vendor support or enterprise-grade tools handed to us, the Mac admin community had to build them ourselves. The community wrote scripts, shared knowledge, and built apps. Obviously, today is different. Apple is quickly becoming the default endpoint for enterprises. The community effort hasn’t stopped, though. Another app showed up on my radar recently, and it’s a prime example of the Mac admins community at work. Let’s look at M.A.C.E.

Nothing in my life brings more stress than worrying about water leaks. Especially during the coldest part of winter, thinking about freezing pipes bursting, etc, it somewhat keeps me up at night. I have written before about how much I rely on water leak sensors to ensure I don’t have leaks that I’m unaware of.

While “puck” style sensors are awesome for slipping under a sink, they have a fatal flaw: water has to touch that specific 1-inch spot to trigger an alert. If the leak starts six inches to the left, you might not know until your floorboards are already warping. This week, I am taking a look at the new Shelly Flood Gen4 sensor.

Major iPhone updates like iOS 26 typically come with hundreds of new features and changes, but a much smaller subset that become daily go-tos. Here are four new iOS 26 features I’ve found myself using just about every day.
