TIL that the apple's ai models actually already support different languages

then why is it taking so long to release 'apple intelligence' to other countries

on ios 26 beta, showing “ios 19.0” in the airpods settings

c’mon apple…

surprisingly, the battery life on iOS seems actually pretty decent for a beta.
macOS on the other hand is causing my battery to drain a bit faster than normal, but nothing much to complain about.

hard work will run laps around talent if talent does not work hard

correction.

camera control seems to be turned off?

go to;
camera > camera control > camera adjustments

turn camera adjustments on, and select the controls you want to use

weird move, apple.

some iOS widgets sometimes refuse being glassy, some of the time

camera control seems to be broken (cannot switch to another functionality

2/2

so far;

macOS launchpad is non existent now. you cannot delete appstore apps from launchpad anymore
(either remove it from the applications folder. or, like i had to do with Xcode, sudo rm -rf the application.)

safari on mac is really laggy. compact tab mode seems to be removed

1/2

also

what the hell happened to launchpad?????

picture showing the new tab bar of safari in macOS 26 (tahoe), where they presumably removed compact tab mode

this actually sucks.

it seems like they removed having your open tabs at the top of the screen in compact mode. (i.e. the compact tab layout)

this wastes so much space..

damn

i forgot how unstable the iOS/macOS betas were

liquid glass looks interesting

but i wonder how accessibility will be affected by it

boredom is a vacuum that your brain hates, but when bored for long enough, your brain will fill it with creative output.

be bored. be creative.

the only good answer

ask 'why' and 'what if' instead of just nodding along.

with things like this happening i wonder what they (in this case microsoft) hope to get out of this in the long term

microsoft and all the other tech giants are burning money providing AI so cheap (or even for free)

sure, they have practically limitless resources, but how long does that last?

GitHub - nielsjaspers/gradient-bg-generator: An On-device Gradient Background Generator An On-device Gradient Background Generator. Contribute to nielsjaspers/gradient-bg-generator development by creating an account on GitHub.

also, if you're interested in the source code at all:
github.com/nielsjaspers/gradient-bg-generator

one of the reasons i love being a software dev is that if you need something, you can (and should!) build it.

i needed a local gradient background generator, so i made my own >> gradient.nielsjaspers.com

it is simple and limited, but it fits my use case.
