So the quote is right somewhat, right? If you are writing to non technical people and you use such high wording.

And overall performance in terms of visible UX.

Do not expect so many more reports. Expect so many more attacks ;)

Incredible how Dec'25 to Feb'26 was such a shift point. I'm wondering for how long those models will stay so cheap, but what a time to be alive!

When I first saw ads of "lost weight magic drug in a syringe" in NY Subway I thought it was some intelligent, sarcastic and learning campaign. Then I realized US is selling strong, sometimes dangerous diabetes drug as "eat more, weigh less" spell. I’m more than I amazed! Freedom is awesome.

It summarized the nature of humans today nicely. We are ready to pay any amount nice, but when it gets to subscription mode we are not going to pay even 10x less than the one-time.

It should be, but I’ve also seen few teams having everything on slack. Better ones at least pinned stuff

Thanks for such public confirming there is a lot of more us. I’m just tired hearing how great ideas will save our overblown pseudo-microservice architecture and I’m also running into some projects during evening that just solve problems without use STOA, unnecessary solutions and architectures.

I’m not into RoR, because I was mainly PHP rescuer in the beginning of my career, but they both are just problem solvers. Sit down, write minimal (in case of PHP not so cool looking) code and proceed to next task.

For me it was (or is) funny. After update I had a lot of controls in the same color as background. Wondering why I can’t do some actions I took my friends phone and built in apps looked different than mine. Photos didn’t even show the top bar. Rebooted - I have it! Then photos started crashing every few days and I’m not heavy user. Currently I’m fed up, because Camera starts up once per 20-30 runs for more than 10 seconds (I wait to see if it will start in the end).

I was hater of Apple, then switched around 2018 to be happy user until 2025. Looking for Android brand that allows loading clean system to not get bad experience after few months like with Shitsung.

New comment by misiek08 in "The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran"

There is also point of view that remembers that always right behind US military there is a team building next oil pipeline. US tried to used China as cheap labor, lost a lot of intelligence and now - look at how much oil Iran has and who is it exporting to and what is the percentage at the destination. The numbers add up and only the funny (?) thing is - China is (going to) be most eco country, because they already use nuclear power a lot and were forced to work on that.

What a time to be alive, again! And please, downvote me, comment that US is fighting for some country’s civilians freedom. It’s fun too.

Every day I’m more sure it’s: the world is, because of America. Making a law to make poisoning chemical compound safe for people to silent people who care for our health. Or global warming not existing, because AC makes the room cool.

Good to see (although I was more than sure there are) people thinking about this same thing.

I’m using Google Sheets for house and cars. Columns that should be easily grouped are using data validation and yes - few times deep into the experiment (because I’m sometimes lazy and miss some data - so experiment is good name) I’ve changed domain a little by adding columns. It meant empty values for existing rows - that I couldn’t fill in most cases, because a lot of time passed.

Reading many comments here I think we will create multiple frameworks/standards like always and some tools will be missing things others have :(

Funny thing is sheets works good and with scripts I can (still for free in terms of money) send notifications to selected channels or do some automated actions (like check disks status or order something automatically)

Edit: sheets have sync across devices too. Single SQLite for this specific case, having less nerdy people at home is an disadvantage.

Do you have any uses for stuff like iPad mini 2 Retina? I have that in mint condition (I treat the hardware as tools, but not as a hammer). It didn’t get updates for long time and every website of course breaks, so it even doesn’t work as notes reader…

So they will get better at publicly dismantling such cases and doing much better damage control in PR only. "Q" in "Microsoft" stands for "quality".

In worst case scenario you can’t still get flaky test, right? Single thread runtime that will allow the queries to interleave sometimes and sometimes work correctly - talking about variant without "FOR UPDATE".

Funny how Apple get to mediocre level with the phones while making really good progress with hardware and acceptable level on tablets and notebooks.

I see in Europe iPhone is now common - it was a little bit premium for long time, before. Only Samsung is so bad that iPhone still isn’t the worst experience, but iOS 26 brought so many bugs, issues and bad UX decisions that it’s depressing.

But having macOS with „completely different, but the same” natural scroll switch - you have the switch „separate” for mouse and touchpad, but they switch together as one. Incredible that company having such history makes so stupid features.

Having „lower level”/masses join the Apple-train I wouldn’t expect them to fix anything in near future. As long as money will flow - the won’t look at quality.

Scary title, 3 month late into the party… really we don’t deserve better articles with non-dramatic content, much faster?
