Another money sucking subscription from Apple, Apple Creator Studio comes out at the end of the month, luckily I don’t find that much use for Apple’s Pro tools in a month basis (except maybe Pixelmator since it’s photo corrections also show up in Photo (damn I miss Apple Color doing color correction like that with old school Final Cut Pro 7). And thankfully for now you can still buy the programs outright, at least the Mac ones. It is $12.99 a month or $129 a year and includes Final Cut Pro, Logic, Motion, Compressor, MainStage and templates for Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Freeform, and it includes the iPad subscriptions
So since activating reduce transparency to get rid of the awful and illegible Liquid Glass, when I try and search in Mail, the results only show half the screen. Obviously there is something transparent there that is now opaque, and it basically makes search unusable. Just another huge issue with Liquid Glass. I have reported the bug to Apple, but I am not holding my breath.
MacRumors on Tahoe screen flicker with Studio Displays. Of course I am on Sequoia, and I have 3rd party monitors and it happens to me randomly all the time. It does seem to happen with switching apps though. I have an M2 Ultra Studio with 2 external Displays and one is on the hdmi port and 1 is usb c, so I think it has to do with the using different ports. It only happens on one monitor for me, but with me doing full time care for our 18 month old I haven’t had time to try and fix it.
I was excited by the new cameras of the iPhone 17 Pro, so I was pretty excited to move over, but the move so far has been a nightmare. First off I use a local backup of my phone as it saves passwords and is much faster than the cloud, but boy it has been anything but quick. First I had to enter all my info on the phone and sign into iCloud, and then to restore from computer I had to wipe the phone with a restore (which took hours) and I was hoping it would then sync, but then I had to enter all my info again, and then the sync from the computer started. After a 12 hour backup, this took a good part of the morning, and then hung with about 500 songs to go (out of about 15,000). And every time the sync screwed up or something I had to restart my computer to get another one started, which would be fine if my finder wasn't unresponsive for 5-10 minutes almost every restart (though not every one), I think it is because I have so many hard drives attached for editing. So the sync failed and I restarted to see if I could finish, but every playlist had just a few songs, which wasn't the case this morning. And when I removed all the files (with another sync) trying to put them back was only with 4000, songs instead of 15000. This took hours to figure out, but it had corrupted my Apple Music library, and I had to go back a day and recover the library file to regain all my playlists! How did that even happen? So here I am on day 2 of my new iPhone. I have had it for 24 hours, and it is once again syncing my music. And I left about 10 playlists out so I can sync them later so they can show up at the top (my most recent albums) sync I can't favorite playlists without activating iTunes Sync which I will never try again after it almost wiped out my entire iTunes music library years back! This is a fucking Nightmare!
Screenrant’s October 26th, 2025 article, 10 Reasons Marvel Fans Can’t Let Go Of Spider-Man’s Marriage To Mary Jane And Comicbook from June 3rd, 2025, Can Marvel Ever Really Fix Spider-Man After One More Day? Created with Google Gemini and Nano Bananna They were married for over 20 years and it was so much growth for Spiderman and just to have it all erased has always bothered me, but not as much as Peter’s dating life since then. Now I know Marvel didn’t want to do it to begin with, but were forced into it by Stan Lee, doing it in newspapers, but it was so good! And they have Miles Morales to have a single Spiderman. And to have them married In the current new ultimate storyline is not enough, because it is so not the ultimate Spider-Man story, but instead married Peter shoved in an ultimate storyline. A little morsel to tantalize fans who want it, but we want Earth 616 restored to before A Brand New Day.

Juli Clover at MacRumors ran the tests . iOS 26 with reduced transparency and increase contrast on I am quite surprised by the results, but I wonder if it means that the reduce transparency settings are being added on top of the transparency, because it makes no senses that removing the transparency doesn’t increase battery life. It is graphically intense and on my phone constantly glitches and has to redraw. And here is the same glitch I have been getting with transparency with it all turned off. So I think the transparency is being rendered then covered, so that is why it doesn’t save memory by turning it off, even if everything is easier to see with the transparency turned off. And not just switching Liquid Glass to Tinted, but accessibility to Reduce Transparency.

And I can definitely say just how bad it is because my iPad Pro M2 was replaced after screen issues 3 months ago so it has a basically brand new battery, and I had my battery replaced in my iPhone 14 Pro not a month ago (and they exploded my phone so I have a replacement). After upgrading to version 26 I thought it was bad at first, but I have literally such worse battery life than I did with my phone which was down to 80% efficiency on the battery! Without walking and using the GPS my phone is down to 30 percent by 3:47 PM! And this happens every day! And my iPad Pro with almost no use is down to 70 when with the old battery would have been at 96%.. And I am sure half of it is from the awful transparency that makes everything look illegible, and constantly glitches and takes a while to redraw as most things show up transparent. And hopefully 26.1 which will allow you to limit transparency will bring some efficiency back, but likely this is mostly bad coding! My pet peace’s in an OS are making things less efficient (more steps to do the same things),, less legible (say with transparency, and running slower with each OS release! And these OS’s do all of these in spades!
