TinkerTool 11.2: Hidden settings tuned for macOS 26 Tahoe Developer Marcel Bresink has released TinkerTool 11.2 (Build 251007), updating the free macOS utility to better match macOS 26 (Tahoe).

Nintendo Pictures' First Shorts: "Close to You" Pikmin Films Nintendo has confirmed that the two animated "Close to You" Pikmin shorts released in early October are the first short films from Nintendo Pictures (the studio Nintendo acquired in 2022, formerly known as Dynamo Pictures).
