The title is misleading. This is only for packages below 150€.

I don't think it's a dark pattern with bad intentions. They just didn't account for this feature to be used in this manner.

There's another setting to set your work hours and silence notifications out of those.

Brave. It has its own built-in adblocker that is essentially uBlock Origin equivalent, thus you get a nice proper adblock even past MV3. That being a requirement of mine cuts off most other Chromium forks that don't have a plan after MV2 is culled off the Chromium codebase.

Why not Firefox? I've used Firefox for many years, but I've recently been getting increasing issues with websites (Most notably Cloudflare Turnstile and YouTube) that made me do the jump, at least for now as one can always return.

It's a member-only story, so I can only read the first few paragraphs.

Toasts are indeed a problem because they can disappear without the user reading (or listening if on screen readers) to its feedback. So while I don't know what suggestions the author has, I find it hard to imagine it can be fixed in a way that you'd still call it a toast and not something else.

Of course, removing all toasts and making all feedback actionable until they disappear will instead create a lot of friction, it's not an easy UX problem.

They all have to make promises and have to dream big to keep the AI bubble from popping.

I agree which is why it's a bit odd that so many people still think that Sam Altman & Elon Musk are honest technologists instead of unscrupulous grifters.

Developers have 1 year to apply the new design change, they're forcing it afterwards. It's not really by choice.

Can you share more about this?

I've only just started developing in SwiftUI, but I do know that some of these changes are automatic based on the components you use not necessarily a specific choice by the app developer. I started developing my app with the prior iOS version, but using standard components. After updating to iOS 26, the glass-effects were automatically added.

There is a property you can add to your Info.plist called UIDesignRequiresCompatibility.

If you set it to yes, you'll retain the pre-26 design. Apple said they'll only keep this working for a year.

There's quite some competition even in the same form factor, like QNAP, ASUSTOR or even UGREEN which got their product in not too long ago.

Many people recommend Ugreen, but looking at their entry-level 2-bay NAS it's nearly a hundred bucks more expensive than a 2-bay one from Synology. Sure, it has higher specs and whatnot, but that overlooks the fact that I don't care about specs. I just need a 2-bay device to backup my home devices, high performance is not a requirement.

Android Studio if I recall correctly has the same license as IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.

Will it also have this "opt-in by default" despite not having a commercial license alternative? Because that'd be pretty scary.

It's a leveraged buyout. They're going to need to pay those billions in debt, so predatory practices should not be stopping.

> It's a leveraged buyout

Correct: “the transaction will be funded by a combination of cash from each of PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners as well as roll-over of PIF’s existing stake in EA, constituting an equity investment of approximately $36 billion, and $20 billion of debt financing.”

EA currently carries about $2.6bn in non-current liabilities of which $1.5bn is long-term debt. So an order of magnitude more debt.
