Not just building but actively testing


What about them?

They are very gory.

Exactly.

Microsoft did it with 365 after the introduction of Copilot: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eYVPThx7yss

Maybe it's one of the many ways we finance all those datacenters. Sure Netflix doesn't directly own datacenters but the logic works by proxy.


Another post where the "how" prefix adds no semantic value.

The universe would look very different probably.

That's brave. What about all the edge cases?


They're talking about verification. Was there a collision or not compared to is this story good.

I can think of scenarios that avoid collision in probably 95% of the cases while being bad choices

- Driving through an empty prairie

- Driving slowly through a crowded square, giving people enough time to jump out of the way


There's less gray area with driving wss the point. Legal or illegal, efficient or inefficient. And whatever gray area remains is generally "good enough" compared to human drivers on the road.

It's easy evaluate if there's no victims. Stats say there's more than 6000 injuries per day and more than 16000 deaths per year on the road.

If you choose between hitting a pedestrian and swerving potentially injuring the driver and totaling the car, what would you like the car to pick? Or any given trolley problem variation, etc


non ultra apple watch has it too

Personally iSO 26 is so unbelievably glitchy, it's only not embarrasing because you know others spent $$$ on the same thing so everyone pretends it's fine.


They seem to have ironed most of the problems now. You can disable liquid glass if you hate it, and as a result iOS 26 is nearly as good as the previous version. I’m running it on my iphone12. I hated it when it first came out. But it seems fine now.

I don't know how you're using it. The most broken (so it needs to be restarted sometimes) is Podcasts, but Music, Safari, Settings etc have glaring visual glitches too.

Well, it might help that on day 1, I turned off the liquid glass effects in accessibility settings. At first there were several small layout / UI bugs that came from turning liquid glass off. But it seems fine now.

I don't use the apple podcasts or music apps. (Overcast and Spotify for me). I haven't run into any serious problems.


I'm not sure if you're an iphone user or did you root your iphone?

It's NOT possible to turn LG off in iOS 26. It is possible to reduce transparency and motion (i tried with and without enabling those and it's broken anyway).


Oh my mistake. I just reduced transparency and motion. I’m not surprised that some things are still broken. Liquid Glass seems like a promotion ticket someone cashed at the expense of all iPhone users.

iPhone 15 Plus:

I have Reduced Transparency, Reduce Motion, and Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions, all enabled. You have to have Liquid Glass set to Clear for Reduce Transparency.

I do use the Apple Podcasts app, but YouTube Music and DI.FM Radio apps for music.

I never see any rendering issues / glitches, and the UI is smooth & snappy.


iphone 17 pro:

0. none of the options you describe really disable LG and the glitches it introduced.

1. you don't need to switch LG to clear to reduce transparency. you can use reduce transparency with any LG theme. you just need to reenable "reduce transparency" after changing the theme. why? ask Tim.

2. in Podcasts you can tap between Home and Library to see the selection jank around the middle New tab. happens every time.

and if you tap to change episode sorting oldest to newest, then change it back, it 100% of the time won't ever change back again, unless you exit and enter the show again.

and semi daily when switching to it from lock screen the now playing layout will be garbled, either just the bottom card or the entire now playing screen is empty (at which point i usually restart the app).

and of course janky layout shifts and adjustments when switching between screens like search, show, episode, transcript, etc (which additionally also all involve sliding motion despite reduce motion + prefer fade on, but i will let that slide)

the list goes on


If I told you I can’t reproduce any of those problems on my iPhone 15 Plus running 26.6.1, would you believe me?

i have the latest phone with the latest os and I believe my eyes (and i make screens recordings for every new glitch i encounter).

If it happens on some phones the problem is even worse because how on earth they make software THIS inconsistent.


Really? iOS Guided Access is bugged on the whole 26, and I have been encountering system freeze many times on 26, never before on any other versions.

27 is really a lot better, even on an iPhone 13.

Yet that’s still just repairing what they previously broke. I still can’t listen to music AND listen to a voice memo or a video clip.


Months is a long time. You're supposed to return your iphone to apple and get a newer one as per your subscription.

Planned Obsolescence strikes again!

It asks that when dragging too.
