Birmingham event is like a safari park attraction where we get to see the remnants of a party in a protected habitat
At the Labour party conference in Liverpool last week, Andy Burnham floated the idea of electoral reform. This week in Birmingham, the Tories have come up with a plan of their own: voting with their feet.
How to put this nicely? Let’s just say that the Conservative party conference is extremely civilised. No queues for the food concessions. No queues to get into any of the halls. In fact, the organisers are delighted that anyone has turned up at all.

It was, as the moderator of the post-Arc press conference put it, the “difficult question everyone wants to ask”, but Princess Zahra Aga Khan, the owner of the winner, Daryz, did not seem to find it difficult at all.
“Look, we’re breeders,” she said, “and you get to the point where you’re taking a risk every time you run the horse. Would we want him to train on for another year? I’m not sure. I think he has other things to do.”

Apple let stuff expire, so now we have to re-roll our certs, hooray.
I have questions:
- When they say:
Installer packages [...] will no longer install. Re-sign all packages with your new certificate before this date. Mac apps [...] will keep working -- no action needed.
does this mean that I need to re-sign my old DMG files, but do not need to re-sign the .app and .saver bundles inside them?
(I have some old DMGs still available for download because e.g, 6.00 was the last release that still works on 10.7; so I guess I need to re-sign those if I want them to continue to be installable on old Macs?)
- I re-rolled my certs, and now I have two named "Developer ID Application: Jamie Zawinski (4627ATJELP)", one that expires in 2026 (with the old CA) and one that expires in 2031 (with the new CA). How can I tell which one has been used to sign something?
"codesign --display -vvvvvvv --deep --strict" just shows me the name of the cert, which is the same for both of them.
- I have my new sacrifice zone Mac and I am trying to get it to sign things with the new cert. Xcode 27 is logged into my Apple account, but in "Build for Profiling", signing fails, and "Settings / Apple accounts / > / > / Manage Certificates" shows two lines saying "Developer ID Application", created today, and the second one says "Missing private key". Wat?
It's not clear to me whether these "Developer ID Application" certs it lists are the same as the "4627ATJELP" cert.
Keychain Access seems to concur that the 4627ATJELP cert does not have a private key but I don't know how to get it in there. Re-downloading it from Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles did not do it.

WASHINGTON (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Donald Trump werkt aan een nieuwe maatregel om de dieselprijzen in de Verenigde Staten omlaag te krijgen voor de tussentijdse verkiezingen in november. De Amerikaanse president wil de beperkingen op het gebruik van een belastingvrije variant van diesel versoepelen, meldt persbureau Bloomberg op basis van ingewijden.
Het plan richt zich op zogeheten rode diesel en zou het gebruik daarvan verder verruimen. Rode diesel is meestal alleen beschikbaar voor gebruik buiten de openbare weg, bijvoorbeeld in landbouwmachines. Nadere details over de maatregel waren nog niet beschikbaar volgens Bloomberg. Het plan wordt naar verwachting deze maandag bekendgemaakt.
De regering-Trump probeert de dieselkosten al langer omlaag te brengen. Die zijn sterk gestegen door de Iranoorlog en Oekraïense aanvallen op Russische raffinaderijen. De maatregel komt boven op het akkoord van de G7-landen van afgelopen vrijdag om tot 100 miljoen vaten olie en diesel uit hun noodvoorraden op de markt te brengen. Trump had daar flink op aangedrongen.
Recordhoogte
De dieselprijs bereikte vorige maand een recordhoogte in de VS. Doordat diesel wordt gebruikt in de landbouw en scheepvaart, maar ook om huizen te verwarmen, werken de hogere prijzen door in de hele Amerikaanse economie. Dat leidt tot duurdere consumentengoederen en frustratie onder boeren die tijdens het oogstseizoen met hoge brandstofprijzen te maken krijgen.
Parlementariërs uit landbouwstaten dringen er bij Trump op aan om de Amerikaanse export van diesel te verbieden om de prijzen te drukken. Maar na het besluit van de G7 op vrijdag zei de president dat hij de verkoop van de brandstof aan het buitenland niet aan banden zal leggen.
Microsoft Windows 11 26H2 has arrived, and, unfortunately, it's already picked up a known audio issue within weeks of release. The glitch also affects Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2, which share the same code branch. It relates to decoding AC-3 (Dolby Digital) audio and can cause the application using the decoder to crash abruptly or fail to start at all. Identified after the September 22 Windows update, the issue mostly impacts older applications, according to Microsoft. "Many modern applications do not use Windows for this type of encoding and therefore will not encounter this issue. "The code component involved in this issue is most commonly used in legacy applications that still rely on Windows built-in audio decoding." In summary – if your app has the temerity to use Windows built-in audio decoding for AC-3, you might have a problem. If it includes its own audio decoding component, you should be okay. "Affected applications may vary," explained Microsoft, "and can include games, media players, and certain productivity applications." There's also no fix as yet, so uninstalling is the only way to address it for now. To be clear, the AC-3 malfunction is not specific to Windows 11 26H2; the update preceded the release of the operating system's latest version by a week. It joins other known issues in 26H2, including other ongoing audio woes that have lingered in the list despite workarounds being available from Microsoft Support for Business. Microsoft currently has no mitigation for the AC-3 bug and offers little comfort to affected users: "We are working on releasing a resolution for this issue in a future Windows update." Acknowledging the latest trouble continues a run of misfortune for Microsoft. September's Patch Tuesday resulted in an out-of-band update to deal with RDP and Hyper-V issues. The update did not, however, fix all the audio problems it introduced, and the September 22 preview update has compounded the situation. Microsoft did not provide a timeline for resolving the latest issue. ®
