I bought an AM/FM radio, in 2026, because modern solutions are too frustrating and unreliable.

@atpfm I've recently (the past few months or so) noticed the outro song on ATP episodes sounding subtly distorted/garbled in a way I never noticed before. Did something change about the audio encoding recently?

Tuomas Hämäläinen 🇺🇦Apple love to preach "the UI gets out of the way of your content" with each new redesign, but how true is that in practice? Let's compare the total height of the Safari UI with a toolbar, favourites bar and tab bar visible, across the three latest Mac OS design languages – Yosemite, Big Sur and now Tahoe. I've added a red line for emphasis.
It sure looks to me like the UI is eating more into my content with each redesign.
Kyle HowellsUI that can be clearly seen and told apart from the content helps me as a user to "focus on the content" because I don't have to search for it and try and understand what is content and what is UI.
Stable consistent UI stays put and isn't constantly hiding and appearing and rearranging itself lets me develop muscle memory and a spacial sense of "where" everything is, so I can learn to get used to the app.
Instead of having to constantly relearn where everything is because it rearranges itself.
"Despite everything I know, I can never stop believing that answering email is a task that can be completed, instead of a river that will forever be raging forward, which brings me back to full-on regret."

@caseyliss Update: I could be wrong, it looks like the V90 is a mild hybrid new right now, but I think it came in plug-in hybrid in past years.
@caseyliss Have you considered a Volvo V90 wagon? I think you can get similar levels of features as you might want from the XC90, and it comes in a plug-in hybrid. You might be able to score a better deal too since wagons are less in demand (though I haven't looked at Volvo pricing in a few years).
