How to Disable Mail Categories on Mac

Mail Categories feature has been added to the Mail app on Mac by default, sorting emails into Primary, Transactions, Updates, and Promotions categories.
To disable Mail Categories on Mac, the toggle is hidden in a contextual menu rather than in Mail app settings.
To turn off Mail Categories, open the Mail app on Mac, go to the main inbox, and click on 'Turn Off' if you see the settings toggle.
Alternatively, select 'All Inboxes' from the sidebar, access the hidden contextual menu by clicking the three dots, and uncheck 'Mail Categories'.
Disabling Mail Categories restores the typical inbox experience by showing emails where they are expected to be.
Some users find Mail Categories messy, as it may prioritize old promotions over important emails and lacks proper categorization.
The feature can hide urgent emails under 'All Mail' without clear indicators, leading to frustration among users.
Disabling Mail Categories on iPhone and iPad is also recommended if the feature does not suit your email management preferences.
While the feature may be useful for some users, others find Mail Categories' sorting inaccurate and prefer to have it turned off.
Users are encouraged to share their experiences and opinions on Mail Categories' effectiveness in sorting inboxes on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

The future of Kubernetes networking: Cilium and other CNIs with Canonical Kubernetes

Canonical Kubernetes LTS has integrated Cilium as the default CNI for improved performance, security, and scalability.
Cilium uses eBPF for high-performance networking, security, and observability, eliminating scalability limitations of traditional CNIs.
Calico offers robust network policy enforcement and deep security capabilities but may require additional configuration for identity-based security models.
Flannel is lightweight and simple but lacks built-in support for network policies, limiting its suitability for production environments.
Multus enables multiple interfaces on Kubernetes pods, useful for NFV and high-performance applications, but adds complexity in setup and management.
OVN-Kubernetes provides SDN capabilities with native support for Kubernetes policies and benefits from Open vSwitch for hardware acceleration.
Canonical's choice of Cilium as the default CNI is driven by its performance, security enhancements, observability, service mesh integration, and future-proofing.
Canonical Kubernetes allows users to choose alternative CNIs like Calico, Flannel, Multus, or OVN-Kubernetes to suit different workloads and environments.
Detailed official documentation guides users on default networking with Cilium and alternative CNI configurations.
Canonical Kubernetes users benefit from a cutting-edge networking stack with Cilium as the default CNI while maintaining flexibility to integrate other CNIs seamlessly.
Future releases of Canonical Kubernetes aim to simplify the deployment and management of complex CNIs like OVN-Kubernetes for enhanced usability.
