macOS Icon History

news.ycombinator.com Https 2026-02-08 17:25:41

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.). With this release being one of the most dramatic visual overhauls of macOS's design, I wanted to begin a collection chroni

So Long, ‘Anthem,’ See Ya In the Skies

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-08 21:50:55

In February 2019, Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer BioWare released Anthem, a third-person shooter about human Freelancers donning armored Javelin suits to fight monsters and various factions. After seven years, EA is permanently taking the live-service game down on January 12, 2026, and with it, a chapter in the studio’s modern era is forever gone. To know Anthem is to know its tumultuous life; the game famously suffered from crunch and internal struggles owing to BioWare’s knowledge of se

In a surprise trend of the year, a growing number of communities are using apps like Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to discuss and track ICE immigration raids. These security apps and associated security cams and video doorbells weren't exactly intended to follow federal agents, but it's proven to be a popular effort in areas like California. While law enforcement retains the ability to request home security videos with a warrant, they aren't used to being on the receiving end of this technology.

YouTube Premium offers many more perks that I didn’t know I was paying for

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority I’ve been subscribed to YouTube Premium for many years now, and yet I didn’t know what I was exactly paying for. In my mind, I always associated Premium with an ad-free experience; being able to get rid of all those pesky long and interrupting ads before or while watching a video is alone worth the price.
