Non-Apple flagships have powerful GPUs too. They could clone Liquid Glass easily, and I would expect some chinesium manufacturers to do so next year. If it would work as well as it does in the beta, you're right it would stand out, but

[citation needed] Vista had a black taskbar with some transparency, 7 made it glass. If you maximised a window on Vista, the maximised window's border became dark (black/with an accent colour tint) and opaque, the taskbar and side

Everyone at Apple knows WWDC is in June, and WWDC is the event where Apple show off the new stuff and deliver a public beta. Some of the terrible designs were shown in the pre-recorded demos, and if anyone had used the new beta for more tha

Aero Glass in Windows Vista and 7 worked quite well. Virtually no applications had the glass everywhere. Many stayed with the default of only having a glass title bar and window border. Some apps extended it a little to cover a toolbar or t

Why would you expect them to? It's really easy to live without AI.

Podman is fairly niche. This is an Apple product that Apple developer circles will push hard.

Moments in the future are not fixed in time. Countries change their time zones, sometimes with little notice. In most cases, humans will keep the event at the same local time.

Google recently started showing me their AI bullshit. This made me pull the trigger and switch to DuckDuckGo as the primary search engine. That said, some niche stuff has significantly better results in Google. But not in the AI bullshit. I

Linux distros can help pick a winner. If installing Valkey is just `apt install valkey`, but Redis requires compilation/extra repos to get going, people will just choose Valkey. See also: MariaDB.

Those corporations are direct competitors of Redis Inc. in the "managed Redis in the cloud" space. Would Redis be willing to sell licenses to them? Would they be reasonably priced?

AFAIK, those APIs aren't publicly described by the vendors, they were reverse engineered by the community. Also, the toys themselves are Bluetooth-based, so pairing and proximity are enough for security.

Arbitrary system-wide themes are hard to code against. You could make a dark theme for Windows 9x, but you might end up with black/dark text on a black background, because the developer changed the text colour, but left the background

In a desktop application, if a button stays in the pressed state when you let go of the mouse button, it means that the developer was lazy and is doing work on the UI thread. In a classic Windows UI, the transfer dialog would be closed, or

How much benefit would there be in whole-disk btrfs? The space taken up by GPT and the FAT32 EFI partition is a rounding error compared to the sizes of modern disks.

You usually wouldn’t crash the entire application, the request that causes the issue will return a 500 error. (Or equivalents for non-web environments.)
