iOS 26 lander on my iPhone. Gosh! Liquid Glas is an awful UX design anti pattern 🤮
I Reuced transparency in accessibility, set icons to dark mode. It becomes bearable.
If there have to be any fluidity effects, can I get liquid tar? Or dark ink or something like that? Just no transparency please.

Cool. Looks like the latest Mac OS update has been described as Apple's Vista moment . . in more than one place it seems.

Think I'll keep my distance from it, and apple's supposed "Apple Intelligence" inffected products as long as humanly possible.

One of my great EFM scores last month is this soutra XL #iPod dock. Solar panel to charge the internal battery and the iPod itself, the speakers are ok though I wish there was more bass. Still has the #apple property tag on it, missing the cover for the dock though. Works well, likely one of the better #EFM finds for me.

Spent an hour wondering why my printer wasn't working on Mac Mini M1. It's usually been reliable. Apparently apple nuked all the drivers in an update. It always working with the Samsung C430 driver, but apparently that driver has just been nuked without warning.
