Galaxy S26 Ultra's new "privacy display" feature is pretty damn cool. Here's the full new video on the rest of the details: https://youtu.be/FRI78tq9Eik
There's no shortage of YouTube videos from developers creating '30 apps in 30 days' or 'from zero to submitting to the App Store in 30 minutes', or 'My first $1000 from the App Store in 30 days', all vibecoded, all $40/week subscription apps, and somehow scooping up a chunk of change from unwitting users. It's just unbelievable what the developer world outside of the indie bubble looks like, and what's deemed acceptable. And yet indies and customers will have arguments over $2 once-off purchases
Impatience wrought in stainless steel

In the winter of 2018, Icelandic photographer Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir wanted to show her partner, who was away in the capital, how much it had snowed overnight at their home and posted a photo of herself on FB #WomensArt ❄️

Background on the photo:

@gruber @daringfireball I'm also very fortunate to have got a copy of this recent crowdfunded reprint of the British Rail Corporate Identity Manual. I love any organisation that takes such an exacting approach to design and presentation. It would be welcomed here again as our railways are re-integrated again from disparate brands of privatisation: https://camdenhighline.medium.com/british-rail-manual-87b589c61548
@gruber @daringfireball oh fabulous! There is a wonderful photo which I must find of a load of government transport officials being driven on a stand from a distance towards various road signs to ascertain legibility. Feels a different time. I also enjoyed this piece: https://grapheine.com/en/magazine/margaret-calvert-woman-at-work-how-design-saved-uks-roads/

@Chris @gruber @Chancerubbage we are blessed to have the work of the amazing Margaret Calvert (Transport and Rail Alphabet typefaces) in the UK: https://www.itsnicethat.com/features/margaret-calvert-in-conversation-graphic-design-081019
“It was such an important job that affected everybody”: Margaret Calvert in conversation with It’s Nice That

The legendary graphic designer, who co-created the UK road signing system, sits down with It’s Nice That over a cup of tea and discusses her best work, the importance of education, and why she doesn’t want to be “hived off in a women’s group”.
