You can also join the iOS 18 public beta to get the update.

Liquid Glass is now mandatory if you care about security. Sigh.

I wanted to like it too, but some of the new UI modals of iOS 26 are just awful.

I don't think such a thing exists simply because it would break so many headers if you turned that on, it wouldn't be particularly useful.

Low _usable_ information density is one of the main things I made Control Panel for YouTube [^0] to tackle, especially in Subscriptions.

On a 1080p monitor, my unmodified Subscriptions page currently has 6 fully-visible thumbnails, consisting of 3 livestreams from people I only subscribe to for videos, 1 watched video, 1 stream VOD (which I'll never watch), and 1 unwatched video, so that's a score of 1/6. Scroll down and you start getting into more watched videos, stream VODs, the unwanted Shorts shelf, thumbnails for Upcoming videos (i.e. videos which can't be watched), and videos from people I don't even subscribe to (via YouTube's recently-added Collaborations feature).

With everything in Control Panel for YouTube enabled and a minium of 5 videos per row configured, I have 15 unwatched or partially watched (up to a configurable %) videos every time. Same thing for Home, in which other things I don't want such as Mixes and Playlists can also be hidden.

It also tends to have fixes for the other things people rightfully complain about when YouTube comes up in these threads, such as (reads down the page) blocking ads and hiding promoted content, hiding Shorts everywhere, automatically switching to the original audio for auto-dubbed videos, hiding Related videos when they appear below the video pushing comments even further down, fixing the new oversized video controls and huge videos in the Related sidebar, etc. etc.

I'd bet you money within 5 years Apple will continue following Microsoft (after metro) and try "merging" macOS and iOS together into one OS, most likely iOS.

> Xfinity is the only gigabit provider in this area. No competition. No alternatives. I can’t leave. So they don’t have to care.

many such cases...

You missed one of our best guarded secrets: ja3 hashes and their successors.

Basically, we can identify browsers based on the supported ciphers in TLS handshake (order matters too AFAIK). Then when your declared identity is not matching the ja3 hash, you're automatically suspicious, if not blocked right away. I think that's the reason for so many Capchas.

I needed to perform scans internally, and testssl.sh was too slow (minimum 20 seconds with parallelization and all optional scans disabled). So I made my own scanner, for a 60-100x speedup: https://github.com/boppreh/hello_tls . It doesn't do vulnerability assessment, but I was more interested in extracting the configuration.

People use WhatsApp on the computer? From the Windows Store of all places?

Must be a tiny percentage, which is why this version is now a basic web wrapper now.

Anyway, I’d remind everyone that “using” RAM doesn’t mean “would not function with less RAM.”

Many applications just use a lot if it’s available.

RAM is not really something you explicitly ration.
