  • tvOS 26 hands on: Sleek Liquid Glass redesign, new Control Center and more

    hmlongcohmlongco
    Major issue with new release and personal movie library. I have a lot of movies I've acquired over the years, and the TV app refuses to display more than 75 of them in any given list, leaving me with empty tiles. Exactly 75 of them, to be exact.

    Switch to another category, and I'll see the first 75 of them there. And so on.

    Worse is that tvOS now doesn't even show the title for selected tiles, which means I have no clue what any of the tiles w/o posters actually are.

    The previous version had this problem intermittently. Now it seems to be permanent.

    Even reset Apple TV and reinstalled OS. No joy.

    Perfectly safe in jolly ol England.  No one is allowed to have firearms there.
    That's not true. Gun ownership is legal in England, but only under strict licensing and for specific reasons, plus they have secure storage and usage rules. That said, some firearms (like handguns and automatics) are all but banned, and carrying a gun in public is illegal.

    Unlike here in the US, where any fool can buy one. Or fifty.

    Which is why the U.S. has a firearm death rate roughly 50 to 300 times higher than England, depending on where you live.

  • iOS 26 will give the Phone, Safari, and Camera apps a big makeover

    "Simplicity is said to be front-and-center."

    Oh. Joy.

    Or actually, Oh Jony.

    Can't figure out how to integrate a feature into an app in a clean, effortless, intuitive manner?

    Toss it out.

  • What Apple TV hardware will run the new tvOS 26

    hmlongcohmlongco
    Love my Apple TV, but I have a LOT of movies and shows I purchased over the years and the new TV app... well. It sucks.

    Have persistent issues with tiles updating and as such the Movies library interface is almost unusable.

    Would love playlists. Would love being able to sort by name or date added. To be able to filter watched/unwatched shows.

    If people are springing for dedicated devices, then those devices should be able to do MORE. Not less.

  • President Trump lashes out at China for violating new trade agreement

    China wasn’t in a bad way, they just pivoted to other markets. 
    And not to mention that Canada, the EU, and other countries pivoted away from the US to China and other markets. So they're not buying from us, either.

    A shrewd businessman Cheeto is. Shrewd.
