It's almost a rhetorical question, isn't it? Clearly, from both the original post, and this reporting, they are NOT safe to redeem.

In addition, it just re-emphasizes how tied we all are to these "digital lives". I used to do it without a blink, but now think twice before clicking "Login with Google/Apple".

The invalidation queue is interesting, but building a custom cache key manually? Even Cloudflare now supports Cache-Tags

I also went tinted as soon as 26.1 came out. There is a step further, under "accessibility" -> "Reduce Transparency".

For me Tinted is ok. Original was indeed very hard to read in places (ie, quick peeks at the notification tray).

Reduce transparency brings it back to acceptable levels, thanks!

Funny enough, my phone upgraded to iOS 26 tonight, and I am like - what is this garbage, who though this is a good idea? And lo and behold, now I know...

Immediately went Tinted mode, yet there is transparency where it shouldn't be, text overlays other text, etc...

if the alternative to 'selling out' is making your business unviable and having to beg the internet for handouts(essentially), then yes, you should "sell out" every time.

A friend works at Jetblue. They are scrambling hard to do the updates.

Everytime I read one of these "I don't use AI" posts, the content is either "my code is handcrafted in a mountain spring and blessed by the universe itself, so no AI can match it", or "everything different from what I do is technofascism or <insert politics rant here>". Maybe Im missing something, but tech is controlled by a handful of companies - always have been; and sometimes code is just code, and AI is just a tool. What am I missing?

You are not missing much. Yes there will be situations where AI won’t be helpful, but that’s not a majority

Used right, Claude Code is actually very impressive. You just have to already be a programmer to use it right - divide the problem into small chunks yourself, instruct it to work on the small chunks.

Second example - there is a certain expectation of language in American professional communication. As a non native speaker I can tell you that not following that expectation has real impact on a career. AI has been transformational, writing an email myself and asking it to ‘make this into American professional english’
