Today I learned, thanks! I kind of wish there was a "Block and notify" option though, like there is with pop-up windows. One reason is that sometimes you might actually want to enable them, but it seems like there's no indi

By "too young for glass", I'm assuming you mainly hint at weight – which happens to be basically the only, but quite significant downside to glass. The material itself is already about 1.5× to 2× as dense as your average cont

You’re not wrong, however they’ve actually been cutting down on that lately — moving the items which aren’t really “sharing” in any sense to a kebab / ellipsis. The best example is Photos, where the Share Sheet would have a LOT of unre
