> "Sideload" is a weird euphemism that the mobile duopoly came up with; it means "installing software without our permission," which we used to just call "installing software" (because you don't need a manufacturer's permission to install software on your computer).
Haha. Oh... actually, it's not funny.

I made the stupid choice of updating my iOS device to liquid glass : the design looks childish and straight out of the nineties. There is stuff flickering everywhere. Sometimes it makes things completely unreadable.
Are there no decent UI/UX designers left at Apple?

Apple executives have long discussed how to slow innovation, or outright regress features, to get their customers to pay more for less.
The iPhone Air is the realization of that greed.

The peanut gallery takes potshots at Tim Cook for betraying Steve Jobs with middling incrementalism, and maybe there's some truth to that, but Apple's processor execution is remarkable (and powerfully enabling to everything else at Apple).

Displacement in Gaza… a Wound That Never Heals
From the Nakba of 1948 until today, Palestinians in Gaza have lived through endless cycles of displacement. Families flee with nothing but memories, searching for safety in a land where nowhere is safe.
Children sleep on the ground, mothers cling to their little ones, fathers walk through ruins with only resilience left.
The occupation can destroy homes, but it cannot erase belonging or hope.
✊ Gaza may bleed, Gaza may be displaced, but Gaza will never bow.

Upgraded macOS and they turned on their terrible window tiling feature without asking. I started getting lots of windows expanding themselves while simply trying to drag them around. Found that you can turn all that junk off in System Settings. I sure did! I've used keyboard-based SizeUp for years and don't want this badly implemented tiling. #Apple #macOS
And they've killed off the Sim card tray.
Not sure how i feel about removing the sim card feature.
Center Stage though!
And dual action cameras is neat.
There's a lot to like about the Air so far.
Camera time. All about the "fusion" camera.
The iphone SE has something similar if i recall. Didn't review overly well.
The example photos are nice. But the shadows look a bit... lacking again?
