Was looking for information on Google's MUM (a model announced at I/O 2021 as a precursor to Bard) and the AI Overview (from Gemini, MUM's great grandchild) decided to help.

macOS 26.2 Tahoe breaks the appearance of selected items in sidebars in Catalyst apps that haven't been optimized for Liquid Glass. Screenshots: Timery and the Developer app.

Good news: Xcode 26.1 includes a reasoning selector for GPT-5.

Bad news: I've chewed through 20 percent of my battery running an iOS 26.1 simulator for 15 minutes.

Have you ever zoomed in on a map at the edges of Las Vegas? Sends a shiver down your spine just by looking at it. Hell on earth. It just… ends.

Whee! (Hats off to the person who made this.)

I think I've been radicalized as officially an OpenAI hater. No OpenAI model has hit the top spot on LMArena for about a year, and it shows. They all kind of suck. They had a winner with 4o for a little while, then Google swept the floor and Anthropic brought taste to the space.

I like to think of myself as quite a methodical planner. Splitting things up into bite-sized tasks, delegating, etc. But sometimes, I find stuff like this in my task manager.

Review coming this weekend. I think?

Belated, but still here. First impressions:

- The form ear tips are much firmer. I like them!
- Noise Cancellation is obviously good, but Transparency mode got way better.
- They're more bassy and too muted in the high end. They need some EQ tweaking.

This was the issue when they were last broken, but since then, the Content-Type seems to be there. github.com/bluesky-soci...

Notion's iOS app has been updated for Liquid Glass, but it seems really half-baked. I assume they'll do more over time.

I've intentionally been punishing this thing. It's impossible to run out of battery. This is the normal, non-Pro model. I've never seen anything like it.

Enough about setup. This color is gorgeous. It's a bit more red in person than it looks in the pictures. Definitely less Home Depot.
