That’s what I thought when I bought the 16 E, but liquid glass ruined it because the GPU sucks. So buyer beware.

Just disable Liquid Glass (transparency, motion). Better UX and better UI

Does this work, i.e. does this reduce the load on the processor and battery? Did someone measure it?

I tried it, the effect is unnoticeable and it ruins the UI experience.

But to say that to use a one year old phone I need to disable screen effects on a new OS should be grounds for a lawsuit.


Well, that's it. I cannot stand HN anymore. Literally my experience is being downvted and no one commenting on why what I said was negative. And just warning people to wait to by the phone is now frowned on? Nothing but a bunch of capitalist suck up fanbois here I guess.

Same thing happened on a quantum science post. If you cannot express why you disagree with me either you are a schill or your thoughts are not solid enough.


Are they using binnned A19 chips like they use the binned A18 chips in the iPhone 16e that has a GPU that can’t handle liquid glass? Asking for a friend.

Ha, yes. I have a Galaxy A7 lite that is my TV. Much cheaper and has a 500GB SD Card in it as well.

> Can someone explain to me why an iPad at all, let alone an iPad Air, needs as powerful a processor as a M4?

Because marketing? Seriously, the people I see using iPads in coffee shops are rich retired dudes looking at the news on it.


Because fanbois don't want to wait another year for M5?

Please do not buy any Apple products until Tim Cook takes that gold bar back from Trump? Thanks.

This would be big for businesses, like the the full title of the article reveals:

"Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation, marking a new chapter in smartphone security and expanding its enterprise portfolio"

I know a lot of businesses that would love to not be exposed to Google.


They are probably going for a new thinkphone generation for the prosumer/enterprise and not for the consumer market.

I can barely use my iPhone 16E after the liquid glass update so I will say for me, it was one year.

That's nuts. My iPhone 13 actually feels quicker after the iOS 26 update (and this is the first time I think I've said that about an iOS update since it was iPhoneOS / single digits)

Part of the issue with the 16E is that is is using a binned A18 chip. when I heard it was using the A18 chip I decided to buy it, but it seems the GPU sucks, and Glass is so GPU intensive so...

It was fine without liquid glass, but I unfortunately missed the downgrade window,


"Thus the wave function can’t tell us what the quantum system is like before we measure it. "

Nothing is a particle, all measured things are a probability that we make a certainty when we measure them.

When you stop looking at things as things, but instead, see them as probabilities, it will all make sense. My hand and the beer bottle I pick up are both probabilities. Since the mind cannot navigate the world based on probabilities it turns them into certainties.

Physical science is is the only way we can perceive quantum science. There is no "collapse" outside of our brains perception.


Why does a probability taste so good after work on a hot day?

But in the case of self driving cars, who do we find at fault? Have we even answered that question? I mean did the Waymo car even get a ticket for blocking the ambulance?

Has any human driver ever received such a summons?

I find Marinetraffic is fine without an account.

Here is a link to oil tankers anchored around the Strait of Hormuz. It has much better filters:

Any of these provide satellite data without charge?

Also - is there any sites that publish parsed data from SAR sats?
