Liquid Glass tvOS redesign is restricted to second-generation Apple TV 4K and later
Such a bad idea, the way they’ve implemented the UI on tvOS. You can see it in that included screenshot. The scrub bar is supposed to give you ONE bit of visual feedback. Just one: where’s the current “now playing” point, and it does that by filling in the entire leading side of the bar and leaving as-yet-unfilled the part that is as-yet-unseen. THAT’S IT.
It has nothing to do with what’s going on within the movie. Nothing. It just needs to stand apart from it visually and thus conceptually as well. But now it’s got multiple bright and dark segments, in shades of gray, that CHANGE even. DEPENDING.
Because Apple thinks it’s a good idea to render a thing — over a widely varied movie scene — using a transparent/translucent thin bar of glass that distorts, diffracts and refracts light around it.Because that makes sense when you wanna see where you are, linear time wise, in a mocie’s run time.

Apple teases OS redesign with new 'Sleek peek' splash page tagline

1. That’s wrong. The models do matter.foregoneconclusion said:
AI is all about the size and quality of the database used for training. The LLM programs themselves aren't nearly as important.blastdoor said: Today, the AI features Apple desperately wants and needs to bring to their products exist in products from other companies but Apple's project management/leadership appears to be failing big time. Apple can turn it around, and I bet they eventually will. But for the time being, this really looks like a mess.
2. It’s irrelevant because apples problem is neither data nor models, it’s building the products on top of those things.Continuing the Copland analogy, Apple certainly knew what preemptive multitasking was and how to implement it. In fact they had implemented it in AUX. Their problem was at the level of incorporating the technology into a coherent, desirable, shipping product.Apple can use off the shelf models and they are doing so. Where they are failing is creating the product, which under jobs was their greatest strength.Copland? No. Apple is not in a corner here, technologically. It’s not a bet the company situation. They’re not anywhere near replacing WHOLESALE all the OSs with something they’re buying elsewhere.Their biggest failure is in marketing. They don’t know how to market their way out of failed promises. They just don’t. They have always under promised and over delivered. It’s practically a legendary trait of the company. Remember how you heard nothing about that Power charging pad for forever? Nothing at all? And then it was just gone? They didn’t know how to handle it. As in literally could not decide their was out of the failed promise, messaging-wise.This isn’t Copland. Not even close. You don’t know anything about the company at the time or the politicking or dysfunction going on then. It wasn’t about messaging then. It was about technical decision making. They wanted it all and couldn’t have it.

Apple rumored to release iOS 26 at WWDC, instead of iOS 19
I bet it’s iOS 27. They’d have learned from car companies and every other yearly-release product company by now.

Russia fines Apple two seconds of profit over promoting LGBTQ+ rights
As far as hatred towards LGBTQ, the language Russia is using isn’t too far off from what Trump and all the MAGA states use.StrangeDays said:Why Apple even bothers doing business or supporting this gas station mafia terrorist state is a mystery to me.
