I thought I was going insane: Transmission kept giving out Growl-like notifications yet I removed Growl the second after Adobe CS5 finished installing. Kept searching in Activity Monitor and Library but couldn't find anything. Turns out Transmission has its own build-in notifications now. :pinch:

And hopefully it'll begin using the OS X API on ML

I don?t see it listed in the changelog.

Is it because Growl now costs something ? At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released. I wouldn?t be able to stand 3rd-party notifications when Growl is already perfect to me. At least go the native way if Growl is not a solution anymore !

Mist notifications: basic notification support for users without Growl
At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released.

Except it won't. Notifications can only be used by App Store apps, which I think is an ******* move of Apple. So unless Transmission is added to the App Store, no notifications for it.

Wow I missed it. Mist notifications, huh?

Yeah, I?m also scared about Transmission being rejected in the App Store. I?m crossing my fingers, because there?s a LOT of legal stuff to download out there with it. I forgot about the part where Notifications could only be used by apps coming from there. Bad move, Apple. They?re only trying to push developers to use the App Store, because there is no technical reason why a non-App Store app won?t be able to use this API.

They should try putting Transmission on the App Store right away to see how the story ends on Apple?s side?

There are so many legit things that are distributed over BitTorrent. There really is no reason why Transmission should be rejected from the App Store, but I have a feeling Apple will never allow it. It would be great to have native Notification Center support in ML.

After digging up a little bit, I have found something that will make .Neo joyous :)

NOT.

More like the opposite in fact.

What Mist notifications are all about : http://growl.info/do...-growl.php#mist

At least they?re not a completely different implementation from Growl. I only can?t believe how intrusive they can be!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
