35 years ago, Steve Jobs launched an obscure operating system that changed everything

NeXTSTEP, a computer operating system launched by Steve Jobs after he was forced out of Apple, celebrated its 35th anniversary on September 18, 1989, and though it has been discontinued, it's had a monumental impact on computing history and development.
It was NeXTSTEP that paved the way for macOS and all of Apple's other modern operating systems, and in addition, the World Wide Web was dreamed up on it as well.
The macOS Dock, large full-color icons, drag-and-drop functionality across the operating system, scrolling and window dragging, properties dialog boxes, and keyboard shortcuts are some of the things that NeXTSTEP was responsible for.
The Electronic AppWrapper, the forerunner of modern app stores, was created on NeXTSTEP. It was a catalog for distributing apps, music, fonts, clip art, and other software, well ahead of its time.
NeXTSTEP's power made it an excellent resource for programmers and app developers. It found its way to CERN, the nuclear research organization, and helped computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee to create the World Wide Web.
Berners-Lee also used NeXTSTEP to develop the world's first web browser, which he named WorldWideWeb. The popular games Doom and Quake were also created on the system.
The legacy of NeXTSTEP lives on in terms of software features still in use and the things it was used to create, even though it remains relatively unknown.
Apple formally bought NeXT in 1997 for $429 million, bringing Steve Jobs onboard and eventually leading to the first launch of Mac OS X, ending active development of NeXT's operating system.
Despite its small sales numbers, NeXTSTEP had an outsized influence on computing and was held up as a trendsetter for its many innovations, with other companies quickly copying its ideas in their own systems.
The combination of NeXTSTEP and Apple's existing software led to the first launch of Mac OS X, ending active development of NeXT's operating system, and bringing about Apple's resurgence as a global rockstar.

Stuart Langridge: On iOS, Home Screen web apps are part of your iCloud Backup

iCloud backups on iPhones may take up a large amount of space, even using all the “usual” tricks creating a headache for some users.
The problem may result from Home Screen web apps being included in the backup, unlike in the iCloud Backup Settings App List, which lists other app backups, but not web apps.
Web apps are crucially part of a phone’s backup, with the author of this piece discovering that various Home Screen web apps were that which had taken up so much storage.
Using an unofficial provision backed up data to a Linux machine and studied the folders that could be taking up space to confirm that Home Screen web apps were the culprits.
The author then used the Python library iOSbackup to uncover which web apps were taking up space, in efforts to create the equivalent of Linux’s du folder examination tool.
Several web apps were discovered to be taking up huge amounts of space, including Phanpy (1.6GB), Twitter (1.2GB) and elk.zone (133.1MB), in comparison to Squoosh.app (1.1MB).
Instead of removing them entirely, the author decided to delete a few and re-add the ones required, like Twitter and Phanpy.
The bug in the iCloud Backup Settings App List needs to be fixed, as Home Screen web apps are crucial “apps” on iPhones.
While it is important to include web apps in a phone’s backup, Apple should display PWAs and other web apps on their iCloud Backup Settings App List, alerting users to well-used web apps.
The bug has been filed at feedbackassistant.apple.com, but the author has received no response to their other past reports filed there.
